A cyst is a sac-like lesion containing white blood cells, dead cells, and bacteria. It may be severely inflamed and painful, extending into deeper layers of skin and can result in scarring.

Who gets acne? Acne affects teenagers mostly; however it can occur in adults of all age groups also. Acne starts between ages of ten and thirteen and usually lasts for five to ten years. It normally goes away on its own in early twenties but can stretch into late twenties or thirties or even beyond. Some people get acne for first time as adults.

The treatment of acne is not difficult at all. Following a clear regimen helps considerably. Gentle cleansing plus plenty of 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide gives a clear skin as Benzoyl peroxide kills acne bacteria well. A little itchiness after an application is quite normal, and some people also experience redness of skin for initial couple of weeks. However, this will definitely get better because it will cure acne and prevent any new outbreaks.
