Thoughts Acne treatment
ad
I’m currently trying to figure out how to combat acnce primarly on my back. Iv tried everything from washes to special soaps to making sure my levels were perfect. I’m finally just thinking that it’s genetics even though off cycle my skin is perfectly clear. Iv done tons of research and keep trying what everyone said this and that. Just seeing if there is anyone who experienced the same and finally figured out something that truly worked instead of taking accutane I beat my body up enough lol help me out brothers!!! No point in looking awesome if I take my shirt off and I’m all broken out lmao

If possible I’d see a dermatologist. Personally I had severe acne when I was a teenager. Was on accutane twice in high school so I don’t believe I’m allowed to go back on it, unless the rules have changed. I have some pretty bad acne on my back and chest. Just using panoxyl soap for now until the doc weighs in. Good luck!
Lots of good responses.
Bloods are key. If your estro is off, no amount of scrubbing or topical ointments will solve your issue.

Some of the thoughts and replies in this article may help you. Its a difficult problem!
Don't do accutane without doctors supervision. The doses you will need to take to get rid of acne "permanently" require monthly blood test. Btw..it still comes back, some people have to do repeat treatments..and good luck lifting heavy on high doses of it.. your joints will be more dry than on 100mg of winny.
Try putting differin gel and tea tree oil on your back before bed.
Yea, I'd say accutane is a good option, if you take enough (accumulative dose) you have a good chance of never suffering from acne again. After my next cycle i will run a low dose of accutane till I go over my accumulative dose and hopefully will never suffer acne again regardless of cycling.
Because I only get acne during cycles I ran 20mg of accutane a day while on to keep my skin clear and especially during pct.
Laying on the beach on a hot summer day with the sun hitting my back and swimming in the sea takes care any problem with acne that Im having within days, plus some rashes I get on my hands are gone in a week after starting swimming,I use this natural treatment since I was a kid staying away from cortizone oitment for my rash. I have no idea why this happens but maybe you should try it .
EDIT: This works on me even with high estrogen ,high doses of test.
Acne on my back for me always equals very high estrogen I would up my Ai dosage and get bloods if possible.
Definitely start with bloods before anything bro....
I was reading that you can make your own saline wash pretty easily too
Dave_61I don't think its genetics if it only happens on cycle. From my own experience keeping my hormone levels in check with bloodwork, especially e2 is a good place to start. Keep your back clean and don't overuse OTC acne meds.
And ditch that accutane. It can cause more problems than good.
Get bloods, if anything out of whack. Adjust accordingly, high estro, ai etc etc.
The ocean! If you don't have a beach to go jump in every day or two get sea salt and put into a bath.
When you get out let your skin dry out for an hour or so then get someone to put a thin layer of unscented sorbeline over the acne, get as natural as possible like no fragrance and shit in it, this helps because your body over compensates and releases more oil if your to dry.
Broad spectrum anti biotics of they are pussy/ green which is cystic.
Alcohol swab them after getting ya misses to pop them can help also.
If not there is always accunate, I used it once and it worked with no sides, just keep up liver supps etc and drink heaps of water, I did get a head ache occasionally.
Generally its a hormone imbalance somewhere. Rectify that.
Good luck
Ask your Dr to write you a script for antibiotics for your skin. I have one that I don’t take on a regular basis just when I have breakouts. Here’s an article on it.

Scrubbing as good as it sounds on paper if done to often on my acne makes it a lot worse.
I scrub x2 a week, shower x2 am I don’t use products or shower gel.. the pm shower i use a sensitive body wash.
Change sheets 3 x a week and t shirt as regularly as you can.
And if you’re Mrs is reading his plenty of sex also, we got you bro!
true gentleman!
AnonSwimming every day and being out in the sun works pretty good.
15min a day in the steam room and saline body wash works wonders for me. Never needed accutane
Bloodwork would be my first option
Test
Free test
Estradiol
DHT
Both on and off cycle
x2
test, estro, dht and bacteria - measure the hormones and manage em all
StevebGet a prescription for a saline body wash from your doctor before you try anything harsh like accutane. The saline works for a lot of peoples body acne.
I can just ask for it lol ?
StevebIt's just saline but you do need a prescription for whatever reason but it works really well for body acne.
shower in morning and post workout use loofah that can reach to your lower back
Use soap that has no chemicals in it like natural olive oil
Change your sheet everyday and towel as well your skin will look different
Good luck
Iv been using something called African black soap, it’s all natural. I def could change my sheets and towels more
I took accutane brother, nothing else really did the trick. Fish oil helped but I attribute 90% of my clear skin to accutane.
Did it stay clear even after stopping ?
Yeah I mean I may get a zit or too here or their depending on my hygiene but no more "breakouts"
