Cystic pimples differ from the usual type of pimple in that that they are much larger and more painful than usual. A cystic pimple can be of a diameter as large as 5 mm or more. An even more troublesome variety appears as bumps under the skin. Though these are produced by the same processes that cause superficial pimples (excessive oil production), they cannot be seen and reached as easily.
Basically, a cyst is a pocket of accumulated fluid. Though all pimples fall in this category, cystic pimples are usually caused by infection, and squeezing them can cause the problem to spread to surrounding tissue. Once confirmed to be of cystic origin, their treatment must necessarily be left to a good dermatologist.
Tacking cystic pimples are often linked to unhealthy lifestyles, most especially an unbalanced, fat-rich diet combined with insufficient water intake. Most doctors will recommend that starchy, sugar-rich and cholesterol-laden foods as well as most dairy products be strictly curtailed if the problem persists. These should be replaced with plenty of fruit and green vegetables. Such dietary modifications have been noted to bring about a reduction in cystic pimples in the long run.
Proper water intake is very important, since water flushes out toxins from the body. Cystic pimples are not naturally occurring, and it must therefore be assumed that certain toxins are involved. Besides that, an adequate water intake will maintain the skin’s natural moisture balance and prevent grossly abnormal oil production.
Other lifestyle modifications may be called for if the sufferer lives a stressful life. Again, there is no scientifically documented evidence linking cystic pimples (or any kind) with stress, but that does not negate that fact that they occur far more frequently in people who get little or no exercise, recreation or other known de-stressing activities. And, as with all other types of pimples, skin hygiene cannot be overemphasized.
