So im joining swim team, and everyone says your skin clears up because chlorine kills germs. well i get cystic acne. you no the kind thats under the skin, and has no head. and they HURT. and once you get them you basically just have to wait for them to get better. well ill be in the pool everyday. will the chlorine stop them from forming? i dont get them too bad in summer, mostly fall- winter months. so what do you think? please dont say "go to a dermo " im just wondering will chlorine stop cystic acne. the last couple times i went swimming, my skin broke out a little, but idk if it was just a coincidence, or something else. and also how would ik if im allergic to latex or silicone swim caps? will i grow out of cystic acne???

No you won't outgrow them,don't listen to doctors they don't know how to cure them,i got cystic pimples,so this probably will help you-------- a lot of food ingredients(NOT fresh meat,veg,fish,cheese,potato's,etc) are man made from chemicals,now if i gave you a teaspoon of chemical to drink,you probably wouldn't be surprised with the new cystic pimple growing the next day, how do i know? i lived this nightmare of cystic pimples,as one was dying,ping i could feel the next one coming,running home from school or getting up in the morning to look in the mirror(juli,stop looking in the mirror they won't go any quicker),making excuses not to go out and staying in to apply mud from mexico,slime from the bottom of the sea,face masks made from kangaroo poo,it looks a little bit better(who are you kidding)why do i only see one person in every million like me,because they aren't allergic to anything,oh no i got another one,this will be my last one,it's the end of my teenage years,this will be my last one i'm thirty and a half next week. i had 10 years of them,left mums house,bingo month later clear fresh complexion,if i went back to mums big spot again,mum said you're allergic to something,6 months later we found that it was a food (chemical)ingredient added as a food flavouring,sauces,gravy,flavours put on breadcrumbs,drinks,curries,lots of things. no more bending over when a fit boy passes so my hair falls over my face. e-mail me if this is your life

Sometimes it helps but everyone is different you should really try proactive and use it religiously it really does work because my gf had bad acne and it cleared it up for the most part she had cystic acne

Chlorine won't stop cystic acne because cystic acne comes entirely from hormones. Therefore, it's within your body. I would suggest going to a dermatologist and talking about medication, because that is probably your best bet.

I had cystic pimples many years ago but i still remember then,i knew each spot personally,staying in, shy with boys,avoiding photos,i thought i would grow out or them, a doctor was very honest with me he said we don't have the time or know what causes them,its something you'll have to live with,then someone told me their were allergic to something they ate,i stopped eating this and my face cleared up

There is no way to treat cystic acne without opening the pore; although it’s not a good idea to try to open them on your own. Cystic acne is one of the few kinds of acne that actually benefit from treatment with Accutane or Retin-A. These potent chemical concentrates of vitamin A cause the skin to break open over the pore so it can finally heal. The problem is that these treatments can also cause severe inflammation of skin that is not affected by acne, and there are very serious health side effects associated with the use of these medications. For many sufferers of cystic acne, however, Accutane and Retin-A are almost miracle drugs.
