Nodules or Cysts how long do they really last and what can be done
to treat them fast and effectively? There are many similar questions
floating around among people who are going though different stages of acne.
To fully understand the problem and in order to choose the best treatment for
nodules or cysts, one must know that first of all, the nodule is an infection,
with rapidly multiplying bacterias.
But, instead of painting the situation in dark colors and describing in little details,
how nodule develops, what causes the nodule or cyst and so on, i will write about the
most effective ways to treat a nodule to help you out finding the best treatment. As
i stated above, the nodules and cysts are infections and considered as severe acne.
Fist and the most important step in treating cysts and nodules is isolating the infection
from growing. In other words, the infection needs to be stopped before using any other acne
medications. One of the most used and recommended by doctors in this case is a steroid
injection. It is a small shots of steroids (different once can be used) around the inflamed
area.
There are as in any steroid therapy positive and negative sides of such treatment. The positive
one is that the steroid injection in most cases helps to stop the infection and decrease the
inflammation. The negative side is the side effects from use of steroids, in particular on the face
area. It is important to know that as harmless as the steroid injections are described by
the doctors (in most cases, they don't describe any thing!) the steroids are harsh drugs
with severe and sometimes irreversible side effects. Before considering the steroid injections
as a therapy for nodules, try to use other acne treatments with less or no side effects.
You will probably tell me, that you have tried everything and this is why the acne got to
that stage, where nothing else helps. You see, the problem with most topical acne
medications - they don't penetrate deep enough into your skin. How many times, after
applying the acne cream, it was still on your skin, even though an hour went by? My point is,
try to use everything possible in order to avoid the use of steroids and antibiotics. Try
to use acne creams with most ingredients possible, which have not only drugs and steroids
in its ingredients but instead - vitamins, minerals, natural oils and so on. Only natural
acne treatments can be used without any side effects and with high healing efficacy.
