Cystic acne is a severe form of acne that is characterized by large, deep, inflamed breakouts. These breakouts are typically red, swollen, and painful to the touch. Cystic acne lesions are filled with pus and can be located deep within the skin, often causing significant discomfort. They can also leave behind scars once they heal. If you suspect you have cystic acne, it’s recommended to consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
