Cystic acne is a severe form of acne that requires intense medical treatment to get better. This type of acne occurs when the pores are blocked, which causes inflammation and infection. Most individuals with cystic acne have breakouts on the face. However, it is also possible for cysts to form on the upper chest and arms. About eighty percent of individuals between eleven and thirty years old will experience some form of acne. 

However, cystic acne is the most severe type of acne, and it is much rarer. While older individuals can have cystic acne, most who experience it are adolescents going through puberty. This is because of the significant hormonal changes that occur in the body during this time. Cystic acne is not related to greasy foods, chocolate, or poor hygiene. Many cystic acne breakouts are painful to the touch. Some patients may also experience emotional distress because of how it affects their appearance.

Uncover more details on the most common types of cysts now.
