Nizoral Shampoo and bacne
ad
I've been having some acne on my shoulders and on the back of them. I finally found some info that people uses this shampoo for acne. I splurged and bought some (20 bucks on Amazon) and within a week my acne has cleared up.
I can still see some purple bastards but they have mostly gone away and or reduced in size. I thought some of them were going to eat me because they were so big.
Worth giving it a shot if you are having some acne issues like me.

GearofWarThis will work if you have an issue with DHT conversion I think from AAS use. I've had bad acne on cycle a few times now and have tried everything imaginable from antibiotics like Minocycline to creams, washes, scrubs, soaps, no soaps, Zinc, Magnesium, D3 stacks, and yes even prescription 2% ketocanazole shampoo(Nizoral) with Nizoral being my biggest hope. It did not work for me at all. Because I wasn't having DHT issues. I know that this method works for a lot of
People and it's awesome for NOPAIN to remind you guys of this useful remedy. But for the guys that try it and have no benefit I just wanted to share what truly works for me to slow and minimize the Horror Show that is AAS induced acne, Two words: Aromatase Inhibitor. That has been the most effective tool in my arsenal for ridding and or reducing cystic acne on cycle. Find a sweet spot and an AI that works for you and rock that shit. I use my AI's and also the Wal-Mart brand Proactiv 3-pack of OTC acne washes, lotions and I've been pretty satisfied. That's all. AI, Equate brand Proactiv knockoff solution. That and tanning 2x per week seems to whelp a bit more too. Best of luck gents and stay away from Accutane unless the acne is phtmysically HURTING you.
Will keep this in mind. Thanks bro.
Great info as always! +1
Gonna give this a try with my epson salt scrub.. it works great but I get tired of scrubbing that shit on my back everyday
I get prescribed Ketaconazole 2% (Nizoral 2%) by my doctor. It really helps with the steroid induced DHEA acne I experience on my scalp while on cycle. It is also very effective against cystic acne on the body too. I get the occasional red bump with no head cystic type pimple on my body from time to time, and simply just leave some of the ketaconazole shampoo on it for a few minutes, and its dramatically speeds up the healing process.
But on top of the shampoo he also prescribed me CLINDAMYCIN 1% which is a topical solution that I apply to the affected area after I wash my hair and get out of the shower. These two products together absolutely kill any type of bacterial, fungal, DHEA, or hormonal acne.
The weird thing is though, 99% of the time I get "acne" it appears on my scalp from gear use, never my shoulders, back, face, chest, or anywhere else.
Another option would be to apply 100% tea tree oil directly to the affected acne, but I have learned this will not work against cystic acne but rather white/black heads and blemishes.
And as always, you should be washing with an "Anti-Bacterial" soap. Keep in mind not every soap is anti-bacterial, the majority of the Dove, Zest, Irish Springs, Dial, etc are all DEODORANT SOAPS. You have to look specifically for a soap that is anti-bacterial, such as this brand named SafeGuard, it's a bar soap and works wonders. Good luck!
I did the same thing mid-cycle and am very happy with the results. I also use a spot treatment when necessary, but imho Nizoral does a good job of keeping it to a bare minimum. I use a loofah for my back and the bottle will probably last 3 months with everyday use -- only need a small amount to foam up.
