3 month after PCT and still acne

[jimm]

thanks for the info and advice, will defo up the dose (originally on 100mg a day) and try something else if no joy.

doc rang me yesterday to see how i was getting on basically told him i had been using 200mg a day and he wants to run blood tests on my liver as its liver toxic... just incase u got a bad liver..

If you know what you want and the details of the meds it definitely helps, otherwise the derm will likely put you in guinea pig status with disappointing ramp-up on weak shit (e.g. tetracycline, or topicals like erythomycin, Retin-A, Differin, and related junk). Bear in mind that Accutane is used as a last resort, requires iPledge FDA rigamarole and a monthly blood test... a bitch.

tetracycline was what i was first put on ages ago used to taste like shit after eating one of those pills and seemed to make mine worse.. doxy has worked im just thinking im on a higher then reccomended dose.. i go see him tomoro thing is my bacne is almost non existant im just very vain and want no spots atall.. i doubt he will give me accutane which is what i want as im 2 weeks into cycle accutnace would put my mind at ease... but yeah he will say its not bad blah.. i think accutane when prescribed by a doc is only given for the kinda ppl whos backs/face/body were ever are coverd in big nasty spots.. mine need is purely vanity reasons...

I was doing 1/4 bottle of B5/pantothenic acid daily, it helps but for severe pizza acne - you need more. Depending how bad you are high B5 could help, especially that far out of cycle. You NEED to stay off gear while doing it.

Accutane is serious stuff, but probably not so bad to manage at 20mg a day if you keep your liver clean of everything else. My eyes, skin, and everything else that you forget you need "moisture" for dried out to the point I bled from some areas, not cool. But it works like a mofo, your liver values will go up significantly (likely) at doses of 60mg+. I briefly went up to 100 or 120mg (I forget) and discovered for myself during a blood test, I was about 25% over normal and I could actually feel the tingles (severe warning sign).

Be cautious, try heavy B5 for 2 weeks first and see if its worth continuing. If you scrub your body don't make yourself bleed (common sense right?)

b5 is good for mild acne very good sounds like he got bad acne tho so wont do much for it...

tanning also helps if you shave go to a high dollar sensitive shave cream. I use this because I use to get break outs from shaving. But now I can shave my against the grain with this and it doesn't irritate at all.. Shaving is the only thing that causes my break outs on my chest.

lol i shaved my chest ONCE with a razor with shaving cream was all gravy till the next day or 2 and lots of shaving bumps now i just trim it with electric razor, shaves far enough and never leaves rash sometimes get minor spot if shave to close

OP got some exfoliating shower body wash and use it VERY gently the mistake alot of people including me make/made was to scrub the living shit out of my shoulder thinking it would clean my pores right out... turns out it makes it 10 times worse by aggrivating your skin.... so the lighter the better

I used topical accutane and liked it -- would not use anti-biotics like tetra...since it hinders the protein synthetic response -- I am obsessive compulsive with muscle building.

Topicals for me
