These turmeric cysts are very rare. They are tiny growths on a person’s skin that is caused by an overdose of turmeric. If you start getting them, you should see a dermatologist who can prescribe a very effective turmeric treatment and prevent them from developing any further.
The ones we have in New Orleans are not very serious, but they can be very ugly when they’re a little larger, causing you to itch to scratch. One of the most common ways I see people get them is if they get them while they’re eating an entire cheesecake.
There are two types of cysts, and they aren’t just a cosmetic problem but a medical problem that affects about 75% of turmeric-phobic individuals. Most of these cysts are either benign or treatable with a dermatologist. The cysts do have a pretty negative side-effect of causing the skin to become inflamed and red when you scratch it.
If you’ve got them, you’ve got one of the most irritating skin conditions around. There is no cure, and the problem appears to be increasing year by year.
This can be hard to believe because the vast majority of people who would have these cysts don’t notice any change but then when they do their skin gets swollen. If you do notice some change, you can do a simple self-diagnostic test, and if you feel there is a problem you should visit your doctor immediately.
The most common cause of inflamed cysts is a condition known as lichen planus. There are a number of other conditions that also cause inflamed cysts. You can avoid these by keeping your skin hydrated with lots of sun, and not standing too close to windows when you shower.
The good news is that no, turmeric doesn’t cause cysts, but it can help to treat them. A few years ago I had it treated with a topical cream containing turmeric. The results of this treatment were excellent, and my skin now has a completely smooth texture.
I can’t tell if this is a good or bad thing from the new study in journal Nature, but the study was published in 2012.
The study was published in the journal “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”, which is a fairly well-respected journal. It was published in September of 2011, so this is more of a “new” study than an “old one” for the sake of getting it out there.
The new study was published in the journal Nature in September of 2012 and is a follow up to a 2012 study that found that turmeric and its anti-inflammatory properties could be used to treat cystic acne. This study, by scientists from the University of Exeter in the UK, did not treat acne, but cysts, and did find that turmeric could be used to treat these.
