Cystic Pimple Treatment in Plano

In Plano, you can visit a dermatologist who offers the following options to improve your skin:

• Spironolactone – Women with hormonal fluctuations benefit from this oral medication because it reduces androgen activity (which increases oil production).
• Corticosteroid Injections – These help shrink cystic pimples.
• Incisions and Draining – A dermatologist can drain the pus from your pimples, removing bacteria and buildup.
• Accutane Therapy – A hormonal acne treatment that comes as an oral medication and internally reduces oily skin. This powerful medication comes with several side effects and is often used when other methods fail.

Cystic pimples appear deep within your skin, so they often leave raised or indented scars. These scars form from your body’s natural production of collagen and inflammation in the area. If your cystic pimples leave scars, your body either produces too much or too little collagen.

We have plenty of treatment options for acne scarring. This ranges from skincare products to aesthetic services, like microneedling, laser skin resurfacing, and chemical peels.

Following our care instructions for cystic pimple treatment in Plano can help you prevent these deep, pus-filled lumps from developing. We also recommend the following:

• Wash your face twice a day, morning and night, with mild facial cleansers.
• Continue moisturizing your face with oil-free products.
• Use non-comedogenic (water-based) facial products and makeup.
• Avoid touching your face unless it’s to clean it.
• Avoid dairy and high-glycemic diets.
