Cause and cures for cystic acne and pantothenic acid acne

Living in a rural setting protects against acne! The quality of meals may have a lower ability to raise blood sugar following a meal (low glycaemic index). A high glycaemic index meal is more prevalent in urban areas and stimulates the release of insulin necessary for transport of sugar into cells where they are metabolized. Insulin stimulates adrenal and gonadal androgen production with increased sebum production and possibly acne.
Perhaps, one of the most pressing concerns for acne sufferers is the possibility of scarring. In more severe cases, permanent scars can be left behind. To minimize the occurrence of scars, it is advised that you do not try to pop or force your acne away.
As a first step, dermatologists may prescribe birth control pills to bring down the levels of androgens, though this is not a long-term solution. A better alternative is a topical lotion containing benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, easily available over the counter (OTC). However, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist about the best lotion to use, because not everyone is equally capable of handling the effects of benzoyl peroxide. Essentially, benzoyl peroxide helps in cleaning the skin of bacteria and also restricts the activity of the sebaceous glands.
