How do you guy's deal with acne?
ad
I'm 6 week's in on a test-E cycle, I'm getting acne on my forehead and arm's. I have 6 week's left and I'm worried. I didn't get acne this bad in high school. I wash my face 3 times a day with Oxypad's but it's not helping really. I don't want to hear stop the test-E either,
Is there a medication I could take that will reduce sebum or make my skin less oily?
How do you deal with this side effect?
Thank's for any help you could offer.

ClearPores Acne Treatment - http://www.clearpores.com/ct/99781 great results in quick time. this helped me reduce the signs of my acne in time for my brothers wedding!
WeatherwedIll take 2-4 months of accutane for a permanent solution over years and years of skin abuse. I go years with out a pimple on my entire body because I ran accutane in high school. Skin is not meant to be soaped and washed every day or even every few days. All the cutting edge dermatology recommends showering only for the minimum hygiene. That means soap and shower only when NEEDED. Anything more creates a vicious cycle of dehydration and excess skin oil.
If you have legitimate acne dont spend year after year using products that only provide a temporary and incomplete solution. Acne is a disfiguring condition. You may not think you are scarring, but as you age the scars enlarge and you'll be a 40yr freddy crugger.
Lab series for men is a great skin care line, its expensive but the stuff works almost immediately. i dont know how well it would work while you are on gear though.
You started juicing at 136 pounds?? oi
Bit of an extremem med, but I'm on accutane for it. Finished my first ever cycle but I've had acne since I was around 16. Started accutane before the cycle and it's definitely getting better even with increased test.
Wow guys, I bought this Benzoly Peroxide cream for $1.50 last night at the dollar store. My forehead almost cleared up over night. Thank you for all your help. This stuff work's incredibly well.
Marcel1229Hey man, try Pro Activ, it's a little pricey, but totally worth it, trust me
patrickjames111606Yeah man i had the same problem. Really its still moderate but i think the problem may be your over cleaning ur face. My acne gets relly bad if i wash more than once a day. Something to try out also try the clean and clear product line pore scrub face wash then astringent and a moisturizer with 2% sasilic acid i think i spelt that wrong its pronounced saw-sill-ick. If no joy there and u have the cash go to a dermatologist. I had bad acne in school and honestly the more test i use the worse it gets u might cut back on the test a bit and add eq or decca which has less pronounced side effects this worked for me. but its all part of the game my friend also give it more time for the body to get used to the hormones after the second or third month it started to lighten up a bit. Drink lots of water stay away from sugars. As a last option go to test susp whick is water based not oil based. Hope this helps

carguy78well brother to be honest no matter how much AI that I take I still get acne to this day. just take showers don't touch your face with dirty hands and try and limit saturated fats. when you take test most people will get acne in one form or another its part of the game or it has been for me. I personally tan and that helps me to a degree. now my first question to you whats your BF% I have noticed when mine starts to creep up past 14% my acne gets a little worse but when I keep it under 12% its not nearly as bad for me. you can try over the counter medications such as proactive and other acne body washes but it only helps to a degree. but be aware of some medications that can interact when exposed tolight in a tanning bed like builditbigger86 stated
I'm not sure of what my BF% is but from looking at pics and guessing I would say 8%. I'm under weight, I was 136lbs and about 12% BF before the cycle. From taking peptides and doing a 40mg Dbol and 500mg test-E cycle I'm up to 165lbs and only 6 weeks in on a 12 week cycle. I've been taking peptides over 3 months and they really lowered my BF%.
carguy78Dbol always makes my acne worse try dropping it next time if you can't deal with the acne see if it helps at all
I planed on 6 weeks Dbol but after 4.5 weeks my stomach got really bloated and I was getting pains in my abdomen. It was my liver saying STOP!!! They are way to liver toxic for me. My next cycle will be test-e and EQ. But that's not till fall but I can't wait.
BirmonTanning and hot showers throughout the day can help too. Dries out your skin, making you less susceptible to acne.
Buildbigger86Yes i forget to mention below hots shower like M said and if your gym has a steam go sit in there for like 10 mins come out and rub your face wash in your skin and go back in steam room for a few more minutes and the cleanser will sink deep down into your pores.
Also the BEST WAY TO KILL ACNE is if you are by a beach your just sit in the salt water and ride waves or float around. Salt water is the best thing for your skin it will dissolve the pimples and then the sun will get you nice and tan so you will cover up the acne that is healing
when your taking steroids (or any meds) there are three levels....sub-therapeutic, no effect......the Therapeutic window , which you should be using and supra-Therapeutic which incurs all the side effects that go along with it,,keep your does in the Therapeutic window and no sides will come
what dose and how often you take ur test-E?
This is my first cycle and I'm taking 250mg of test-E twice a week. Is this to much? should I cut back to 400mg a week? I have gained over 20lbs in 6 weeks. It's all good weight to I have no water retention. So far I am very happy with the results except the acne.
that's not normally enough to cause acne but we are all different, your just sensitive i guess.so not dose related but if all meds fail then try to cut back a a little bit see how it goes.
Buildbigger86Make sure you take aromasin ED at 12.5mg which will lower estro levels. Also get a good face wash like kiehls face wash the male series and then get the kiehls mens soap bar it great for your skin and it has like exfoliated little beads in so you clean the skin and then take out the dead acne skin. Also make sure you get a good facial moisturizer and drinks tons of water.
Is Foremestane any good? I only took it about 5 time's in 6 weeks and at a low dose. Should I switch AI's?
No1Might have to do with your estrogen, you taking any ai's?
Definitely ^^^ get an AI like exemestane, and also get a face scrub like benzoyl peroxide in it. Check the active ingredients on the back it works better than salicylic acid. Oxy products tend to dry my sky out too badly especially the face pads. I get really bad acne 9-10 weeks into cycle so I tend to take higher doses for shorter cycles now.
Buildbigger86BROC, I noticed that as long as i keep my test levels balanced well that i dont get much acne but if i starting fucking with dosage levels i break out like on my back like a mother fucker. It sucks soo much
Buildbigger86REMEMBER THOUGH GUYS WITH BENZOYL PEROXIDE YOU HAVE TO REALIZE YOU CAN NOT GO TANNING OR GET A LOT OF SUN EXPOSURE YOU WILL BURN YOUR SKIN AND IT WILL PEEL WHICH WILL MAKE YOUR SKIN LOOK EVEN WORSE. Just wanted to add that in case anyone didnt know and used Benzoyl and went to the tanning salon. They would destroy their skin
I have Foremestane but I haven't been taking it because I haven't had any side, You think that will help?
