How To Prevent More Bumps Appearing On The Face Due To Cystic Acne ?
hello my name is Josie, my problem is I have cystic acne. I keep my skin clean and I try to be careful with what I put on my face. What can I do to prevent more bumps on my face. Maybe I should inform you that I'm premenopausal. Which brings on so many other issues.. but I'd appreciate a little help with my face for starters.
Thank you so much for your help.

Hi,
I can understand your concern for the pimples bumps appearing on the face due to cystic acne.
You have not told the exact history and time period since you have these cystic acne. Your age and marital status is quite important in guiding you for the exact treatment.
You can apply a cream contains Clindamycin gel 1% and adapalene for topical application form. For clindamycin there is no harm in using it but adapalene can cause irritation if not used under dermatological supervision. It contains topical antibiotic gel and oral antibiotic and do not cause any side effects.
The important part in treatment is by sun protection by all measures. Eat healthy diet containing lot of Vitamin A and Vitamin C.
Take a proper guidance and follow up with a good dermatologist so that all the problem of acne can be dealt best for future time.
Take care
