Sporadic Deep Cystic Acne

A 40 year old female presented with unusual sporadic deep cystic acne like blemishes on her upper back, upper arms, chest & neck. The blemishes were generally painful and she was concerned about scarring.

She had previously tried Thursday Plantation Medicated Acne Treatment which seemed to mask a little but not treat or resolve the complaint and Zinc supplementation which had a small effect but only a very slight change, again it did not resolve the issue.

Treatment

The patient was supplemented with Therapure my skin twice daily.

Outcome

After 3-4 weeks, the patient noticed complete resolution of complaint with no hormonal flare-up. She experienced one small flare-up at around 8 weeks when she was generally run down, however, only three blemishes appeared on her neck. She doubled my dose to 4 times per day and it cleared.
