Abstract
Acne, a common skin condition, is primarily seen in teenagers and young adults and is characterised by large pus‐filled bumps beneath the skin. Cystic acne is a common form and is linked to a high incidence of acne‐related skin diseases. Causes include age, sex, and lifestyle changes. Treatment options for severe acne include medications, laser therapy, chemical peels, and microneedling patches. This review focuses on cystic acne treatment options and discusses their advantages and disadvantages. Medications like isotretinoin reduce inflammation but have side effects. Laser therapy targets bacteria without medication but may require multiple sessions for optimal results.
