combating acne
ad
Hey fellas, I'm about a month off cycle and everything thing is going normal with pct.. my natty test is on track with normal sperm output and whatnot. But I am still batteling acne on my back arms and chest.. I didn't incorporate any panthothenic acid (vitamin b5) in or after my cycle and am wondering if thats my problem? How have others battled this issue and got results.. its like ironic, you get all jacked up on cycle but are embarrassed to take ur shirt off..

Nice bro.. ya still fighting it but its not as bad as right off cycle ill def look into doxyciling
i always get acne after my cycles never during i use doxyciling and shower immediately after the gym this help with acne bro
I'm a few days in of scrubbing the shit outta myself daily with salycilic acid ( clearacil) 2% and my skin is starting to dry out a little I'm hoping it will clear up in a couple weeks and ill detail my reuslts im also gunna do an organ detox and take some vit b5
Whatever you do, please be very cautious about using accutane. I am only speaking from experience because I had the same issue that you are having and ruined my skin for life. Here is a link to my experience http://www.eroids.com/forum/steroids-qa/anabolic-steroids/should-i-run-a...
Oh man that's the worst! All jacked and too self conscious about your skin to pop the hood and show off the engine! Lol there's been some great advice on this thread.

Try tanning twice a week as well it will dry your skin out. Heard it has helped others a lil.
yea that's true I heard getting sun helps as well as taking showers right after your workouts and up to twice a day if you a really oily stinky mofo lol
Haha I am a wop but not the greasiest of them but reg showers are a must for me lol
seriously? get some blood work, find out your estro lvls.. use Salicylic Acid spot treatment gel after you wash .. and use something like apricot scrub with the Salicylic Acid in it to scrub your skin during shower and/or when you wash your face, there's other products, just try them until you find one that works for you.. also ** you don't need prescription acne meds, that will F you up. ** SMH
Yeah I heard too many nasty things about accutane to even consider it esp with so many options available that are safer.. ill deal with the acne before f'n myself up worse.
try the clearasil spot treatment stuff and the apricot scrub you should notice a difference in a couple days. follow the directions on the packages.. I have used it when I was a teenager and it works.
I hope they find an alternative to accutane. If there were no sides it'd be a damn miracle drug. My future kids are gonna want something to help them out like I did. There is an ointment they sell at wally world called clearasil persa gel. It's benzoyl (spelling) peroxide 10% shit is good for the real deep ones. Helps them from getting really bad.
No I'm not taking any AI's just serms.. I suppose I should get some aromasin.. I guess I didn't suspect estrogen to be the culprit I just assumed high test before aromatization.. I just didn't consider acne to be an issue this cycle because last cyc I did a sust only 500 mg/w and didn't break out bad.. this cyc I ran tren e for 12 weeks and test e for 16 and didn't see acne for a couple of weeks after ending the tren ( while still running test)
AnonIf its really bad regardless of what measures you take, you can always try roacutane. It's a prescription med for acne. It can have some serious sides tho, and can only be taken for no more than 6 months generally. It's available at some of the international src's.
I warn ppl about roaccutane, and accutane. If you have to take it definitely take it through a doctor's office and pay whatever you need to for the name brand. I took a generic accutane and ended up fine, but the sides were bad. A friend of mine took the same generic ended up with chronic inflammatory disease, Crohn's disease. I say take the name brand because you can no longer sue generic brand prescriptions if the fuck you up, because of the Supreme Court ruling on Mensing v. Pliva.
AnonNo doubt
DIFFERIN it's a prescription but you can get it from one of the sources here it is the only thing that cleared up my kids acne. PM if you need a scorce
AnonAre you running your AI thru PCT?
An AI does wonders for acne on estrogen rebound for me, and on cycle without an AI I'd be a pizza. Do yourself a favor and listen to Dossier he's on point ^^^! But, yea just keep washing with an acne face scrub with benzoyl peroxide in it. And look into a low dose AI.
nutrigena body wash with exfolliant...the one with salicylic acid
Awesome feed guys, I def have a few new things to try.. I should have tried to treat it right away but I was a dumbass and thought it would go away after cycle..
I'm on PCT at the moment and am bacne prone. At the end of this cycle (Sust/ Deca) I started using an anti fungal shampoo as a body wash in the shower every day after reading on the net that it kills bacteria caused by the greasy skin. It's got rid of the greasy skin and in turn dried out the acne, made a HUGE difference. I got mine (Selsun) from a friend, but Nizoral should do the same thing, it's cheap and worth a try. Worked for me.
AnonZinerett, epiduo and doxicyclene kept me clear all cycle. Had a few flare ups but epiduo calmed them down.
I got real bad acne on my back, chest, shoulders,gluts and jaw line from ear to ear.
I'm back on accutane 40mg a day it just started to work after two months.
I've taken accutane 30 years ago every thing was good til after my first cycle when i started pct.
i know what you mean I'm all jacked up and don't like taking my shirt off.
AnonI have had bad acne on my back since i went though puberty. Never got it on my face, or anywhere else,so i never really cared. When i go on cycle my back usually breaks out even more. So what i do is use a acne body wash that you can get from your local drug store. I let my wife scrub my back with a luffa spounge and it helps a lot.Also laying out in the sun helps for me as well.
Yeah I guess I've been lazy when it comes to treating myself.. I do scrub myself with clearasil everyday and try to tan a couple times a week, before cycle I only got a little acne on my back but since cycle its spread to shoulders and chest pretty bad.. i guess acne was and vitamin b5 are on my list this week.. my girls a creep she likes popping them shits lol
Anonyup, got to make sure you treat your skin good and take your vitamins. it def helps. I hate girls who like poping them. it hurts so much but they like to do it to us lol
AnonMy girl is like that. I swear she either doesn't know how to pop them or just enjoys inflicting pain on me...
Anonhahhahaha i think thats what it is. they just wanna make us squirm. ANd good point bringing up the AI. I just assumed he was already using one
AnonClearly he isn't, as he's stated... Most likely due to hormonal imbalance
Anonyup. Even with an AI i tend to break out a little on my back if i dont take care of my skin
AnonSame here... Flp made a good point at the top that I hadn't considered, regarding liver toxins. Might have a lot to do with why I still have breakouts even with an AI
