External factors are rarely the cause of acne. If you get too stressed or your eating habits have disturbed lately that could be more relevant to the acne. Try drinking milk and eat yogart. Helps in most of the cases.

Re: how do we get rid of the red cystic acne
You might need to be put on birth control pills or an anti-androgen. If you're growing more hair on your face or have thick body growth you might have PCOS. There is a whole crap list of medical conditions that can cause this acne. No, it's not normal, and you may need to be on meds, so instead of seeking advice from a forum, go see a doctor.
Re: how do we get rid of the red cystic acne
See a dermatologist. I used to get a lot of acne, red cystic acne. First they put me on tetracycline (a pill), which works for the short term. After taking it continuously for a few months, the effects start to wear off. Then, as my acne just kept getting worse, I was put on Accutane (a pill). Accutane is very strong, and you have to be monitored very closely while taking it. Also, the doctor will MAKE you take 2 forms of birth control, because you CAN NOT get pregnant while taking this medication, and you cant get pregnant for one year after you stop taking this pill. So think about this one carefully.
Also, you need to keep drinking water. Water is the best thing for your skin.

I also found that getting regular facials really helped my skin as well. It cleaned out my skin, and kept it fresh. Also, I use Multani Mithi to keep my skin clear now.
