Many people are concerned about the cause of this disease and why they develop cystic acne? Next, let’s take a look at the causes of cystic acne.

The initial lesions of cystic acne are mostly blackheads. If squeezed, you can see a sebaceous plug with a black head and a yellow-white translucent body. Small pustules may appear on the top of the rash, which will leave temporary pigmentation or small concave scars after rupture or absorption. In a few severe patients, in addition to blackheads, papules and pustules, inflammatory nodules or cysts ranging in size from beans to fingernails may also be seen. The various lesions vary in size and depth, with one or two of them often predominating. They often occur in the fatty areas of the face, chest and back, and occasionally in other parts of the body. They are symmetrically distributed, with the center of the face, especially the nose and around the eye sockets, often spared. There are usually no subjective symptoms, but if the inflammation is obvious, it may cause pain and tenderness. After puberty, most patients can recover naturally or their symptoms can be alleviated.

The main culprits of cystic acne: endocrine disorders, excessive sebum secretion and microbial infection in hair follicles are the main factors for the onset of acne. It is now recognized that androgens play a very important role in the occurrence, development and persistence of cystic acne.

Causes of cystic acne: poor personal hygiene, wearing tight clothes that cause excessive friction between the clothes and the body, using creams and cosmetics that are not suitable for you, frequently consuming a high-sugar, high-fat diet, eating spicy and irritating foods, drinking hot beverages such as spirits, cocoa, and coffee will cause cystic acne, actors often use oil makeup, digestive dysfunction, constipation, etc., all of which can promote the occurrence and development of cystic acne.

Some people may also develop cystic acne if they take drugs containing bromide, iodide and corticosteroids for a long time. Others develop cystic acne due to work-related exposure to various lubricants, diesel, coal tar, coal tar asphalt, petroleum asphalt, etc., which usually occurs gradually after several months of contact.

Cystic acne forms a large number of sebaceous cysts of varying sizes, which are often followed by suppurative infection, rupture and pus discharge, and form sinus tracts and scars.
