Acne on and off cycle ?
ad
well so far i have run two cycles, the first one i didn't start getting acne till pct, and it did clear up and start to fade away around 2-3 months after, now this last time around acne broke out on my traps and shoulders and not my back, so my question is. If i continue to use AAS will i always get acne every single cycle ? Cause i wanted to use AAS to build better body, but whats the fun in that if my skin looks like shit. Its to a point where i don't even want to wear muscle shirts or wife beaters just cause the acne is so pronounced. Any ideas ? Thanks Guys... and yes i ran AI on cycle, and took 2 showers a day, but still got acne...

Just an update the b5 at 15-10g seems to be doing the trick as well as letting my girl pop them suckers....only thing is if you are gonna pop them make sure you get ALL of it or it will just come back ;) right after that rub with alcohol...working perfect
witekIt might have something to do with the type of oil,
It did run test with one oil type, no acne, and the acne with different oil.
Neutragena body clear with a loofa on a long handle. Accutane helps but makes me feel like shit at higher doses, maybe try it at very low doses before outbreaks. I tried that benzoyl peroxide bar of soap, I forget what it's called, but it made it worse, for me anyway, some swear by it. PanOxyl...maybe..something like that
Can someone pm me with info on quality accutane
Make sure to use Roche accurate and not the powder capsule accutane
One of the top sources has pharma accutane, and sometimes they have a helluva sale....
I feel your pain Redneck. I'm prone to acne on my shoulders bad! I will share what has been effective for me.
I take 5g of vitamin B5 and 50mg of zinc daily starting 4 weeks before I start my cycle. This will help clear up any acne you current have. Once you start your cycle up the B5 to 10g a day and leave the zinc the same dose. I know this sounds like a lot. No worries though your body can take it, B5 is not toxic in any way. You will simple piss out what you don't use. You can buy B5 in bulk online for cheap.
Now if you are staying acne free on cycle you can adjust the does down to save money and make your B5 last longer. I have dropped to 5g a day for the last 4 weeks of my cycle and stayed relatively clear. Keep this dose consistent through out PCT and further as needed as your body is going through hormone swings.
Also tanning helps. The UV rays kill the bacteria under the skin to help reduce further breakouts. I'm not a big fan of tanning but I have when breakouts were at there worst.
Keep up the frequent showers. Especially after sweating a lot. Also change your bed sheets regularly. Avoid fabric softeners as they can contains waxs that will irrate your skin.
I hope this helps.
Thanks it's helped a lot ! I'm at all out war with this damn acne. Been hitting it with an antibacterial soap in the shower, then an acid treatment in shower, then wipe all areas on traps shoulders with 70% alcohol, then finally have been applying generously 10% benzoyl peroxide all over lol and just started 15g b5 daily...so far it's looking better now on 4th day of b5 so I'll keep it at like 15g for atleast 3 weeks just to annihilate everything then drop it down after...thanks for your input..a acne is a pain in the ass
I have a good friend of mine who has this problem, every time he starts a cycle within the second week he just explodes with acne and his skin gets super oily. He started using the acne annihilator as alin suggested and it doesnt completely clear it up but it keeps it to a minimal, I say check it out its worth a shot. Ive been fortunate to enough to never have a pimple one while on but who knows the next run might be it.
The cause can be numerous things. The BEST otc we have used
to combat acne is a scrub/wash called Acne Annihilator by Platinum Labz
i'm gonna have to pick some of that up.. the doxycycline is working ok, kinda helping a little.. plus i'm using black african soap.. if i wasn't damn near homeless right now I would get some accutane...
Do you think accutane would clear up moderate acne at 20mg ed ?
Ace VenturaI just made an appointment for this Wednesday. I'm gonna get on that shit. My back is a mess. I got my fingers crossed. It's supposed to be a sure thing
StevebDon't use accutane.
You really need to elaborate on that.. that's a very general statement and I know a lot of people will disagree.. I'm thinking about negging you 2..
StevebAlso the reason hardly anyone prescribes it is because there is a really high chance it will damage your intestines.
StevebThere are too many negatives to it. It is really harsh on your body. And can cause permanent damage. Avoiding certain steroids will prevent acne. Oral steroids give me acne so as long as I do not take any oral steroids I don't get too much acne.
any and everything can be harsh on your body pretty much, too much water can kill you... monitoring and moderation is the trick.. I think accutane should be a last resort.. I've had acne my entire life so it is something I should have tried a long time ago being its a generic problem for myself.. I notice some orals mostly highly androgenic compounds produce a lot of acne for me. Most acne can be control with AI's, topical creams and a health diet, coupled with proper hygiene.. but to say not to use it period, I wouldn't agree with bro, everyone needs to access their own situation and use it if, it's required..as the last resort. I would say keep an open mind with it but be cautious, get the blood work done and follow protocol to the T.
StevebYou need weekly blood work to be on it. And even then people still get messed up. Accutane and steroids together is a bad combo.
I totally agree with you there bro.. it can be VERY harsh in combination with each other.. Blood work is a MUST.
IDK i never used it.. i really want too, but I can't afford it.. i'd rather have acne than live in my car dude..
This link Carlos danger details his aromasin use for acne http://www.eroids.com/forum/steroids-qa/pct-anti-estrogens/aromasin-help...
And this one doctor doom breaks down the difference between aromasin and arimadex. I know you weren't asking about either but I felt both were very insightful to this subject http://www.eroids.com/forum/steroids-qa/pct-anti-estrogens/arimidex-vs-a... the only way to know where your estro levels are is a blood test. I'm going in in two weeks so at that time I'll see where I'm at
I've been reading a lot about this lately. I just finished up my pct and during it I've had the worst acne I've ever had. From my biceps across my shoulders and down my entire back. Ive tried proactive and nuetrogena product and they help dry out the old ones but when I'm getting 6-10 new ones a day this sucks. Any ways long story short I've read that aromasin during your pct can help. I'll post a couple links when I find them
Ace VenturaAcne sucks, Redneck. I don't think it has as much to do with estrogen as some people say. I get it different on every cycle. This past run, I've had the worst acne of my life. I've always seen a dermatologist. The relatively mild prescriptions have always helped quite a bit for me until now. My current doc actually gave me the option to try accutane next if my current med doesn't work. It would be fully supervised, including blood draws every 30 days. I think that's the way to go with that stuff. Anyway, if the African black soap and the washes don't help, I'd advise seeing a dermatologist rather than getting some meds online and guesstimating on the dosing.
Yeah it does suck brother ;/ messed up how something so amazing to transform our bodies also will fuck up the skin...I hate it man, I just don't know if it's worth it anymore..seems like if I keep using it will just keep getting worse :( . Take care.
I get acne on and off cycle I got it pretty bad my last resort was taking 20mg of accutane ed. That's helping me tremendously.
Thanks frank, but I'd hate to jump right to accutane and since the acne is only induced when taking aas wouldn't I have to keep taking accutane as long as I'm taking aas ? Kindof defeats the purpose :/
I'm not advocating taking accutane, but I am with frank the "muh-fukkin" tank that accutane has kept me almost completely cleared up while on cycle and into PCT.
I don't know what you mean by it defeats the purpose. If it keeps your acne at bay while you're on cycle, isn't that exactly what you're trying to accomplish-- ridding yourself of acne? Yeah, there's an additional $ cost, but weigh it against the negative self image you project on yourself. There are other ways to keep acne at bay, but it comes down to what works for you and what measures you're willing to take.
Get a blood test and get your hormones in check especially estrogen.
Right I don't think estrogen has anything to do with it man, I feel it's just cause I'm unlucky and my body responds this way I'm not the only one either, I mean it's great running aas, but then my skin gets all messed up just doesn't seem worth it too me anymore...
How can you say it's not estrogen igf1 you haven't gotten bloods done?
