I don't think there is a single treatment that cures everyone's acne. Everyone's body is different (for the same reason some people suffer from acne to varying degrees while others don't). Actually, I think eating a perfect diet (no sugar, no grains, lots of vegetables, etc) may work for most people, but that is too inconvenient and expensive compared to the other protocols I ended up using. And even then, one person's perfect diet may not be the same as another person's perfect diet. --- I used to get severe, deep cystic acne (mostly on my face, but also chest, back, and scalp). Topical treatments didn't seem to work. (I tried so many different treatments: topical, internal, diet, skin brushing, acupuncture, etc) There were only two treatments that seemed to work: 1. Regular antibiotics to kill the P. Acnes bacteria. 2. OR low-dosage Isotretinoin (Accutane) to restrict the bacteria's food source. (My face is naturally so oily people mistake it for sweat.) Recently, I think I found a third treatment that seems to work for me: - DIM supplements to help regulate hormone levels. (Specifically estrogen, even though I'm a guy) - After 7+ months my deep, severe cystic acne hasn't returned. (I do still get a "normal amount" of smaller non-cystic acne on my face and acne on my scalp near the neck but it's relatively minor compared to the severe deep cystic acne I used to suffer from.) My acne took one to three months to surface (if I stopped one of the successful treatments, it would take up to three months before cystic acne started appearing again. Then it would take up to three months after re-starting the treatment to eliminate the cystic acne.)
