Acne Issues

[cumminspower]

Anyone know of a sup or something that I can take in order to combat acne when on AAS?

 

[BGOTTIR]

There is Accutane, but it can cause severe depression, so I wouldn't use that (with my chemistry anyways). There are also numerous topical prescriptions you can get from a dermatologist.

If it is on your shoulders/ back, I used Stridex pads that helped a lot. Also make sure to shower in the morning and before bed. Oils will build up more quickly than normal while on AAS which can harbor bacteria. Change your sheets and pillow cases often, and sunlight never hurts either. Except for cancer which doesn't sound like your concern right now!

tanning and washing your face all the time. I take my face wash to work and watch it after each meal. I have oily skin so it does not dry me out at all.

ACNEDREN from Black Lion Research has cleared up my back in about 1/2 a bottle (90ct) 4 a day split am and pm.

Pretty satisfied with it.

Vitamin B5 and keep your estro in check. Everytime my estro gets high, I get acne.

Pantothenic acid... Can't remember the dose. But I remember it working on moderate bacne from dbol.

ACNE SUCKS!

Acnedren works great for me. I have not had even one small breakout since I've started using it. If I am blasting 2caps in the am and 2 more before bed. If I am cruising HRT dose, 1 cap EOD or so...

FYI~ I was prone to break out on my shoulders when I would change my dosage. I think more so when I would drop down to HRT level.

A lhjo mid day always helps.

I break out on my shoulders and back easily also... nice to read some thoughts on it. I've tried different topical stuff but it's a PITA to get it on my back. I use Nutrigena liquid Acne soap with a back brush daily. Don't think it helps much but maybe it does and it;s keeping it in check. I'll have to give Acnedren a try.

Also I've heard about the high estrogen levels thing before also, which leads me to think a decent AI would help if that's the case.

10-15 steam at the gym after a good workout. Opens up my pores then a good shower.

Thanks for the information. Seems that I have a lot of options available for me.

Exactly this^^^^^^^
Acnedren is a MUST for me when running Tren.

I've also heard using nizoral shampoo as a body was works pretty well. I tried it and it did take awhile but after about 2 weeks my skin started clearing up and it worked fairly decent. I get random breakouts which I attribute to fluctuating blood levels

My acne secret is finger nail polish remover but be sure it contains acetone in it dab a small amount on it and it will dry up like magic.

tanning clears me up pretty well

20mg Accutane ED for 5-6 months and you'll never have an issue again, ever.

I wish that were true. The first time my doc put me on it I was running 80mg/day for 6 months (it might have been 8 but I can't remember). I've done 5 rounds and still get acne.

Yeah, that's not uncommon for some. I should have stated that most guys with mild acne wouldn't have an issue.

You must have some SERIOUS issues, does gears make it a thousand times worse? How was the 80mg ED? That must have been hell.

I actually did run 20mg for 5 months and was GTG for about two years and now I will get an occassional flare up. I think I might consider a quick 3 month tune up at 40mg ED.

It was bad but nothing too crazy. I was lucky and never got any scars from it.

I ran 20mg/day on my last cycle and didn't get any acne but the side effects were bad from it. I'm currently doing a cycle without taking any and the acne has only flared up a little bit. I'd rather deal with minor acne than use accutane.

80mg/day was a nightmare lol, I'd never wish that upon somebody.

 

[blergs.]

stay away from accutaine. long term side effects even YEARS after stopping, mental changes and much more. cant believe its still on the market. try extra vitb5, take 3-4oz of apple cider vinegar "with mother" every day *drank.

in worst cases, a run of anti-biotics, but i rec avoiding this also

Basic soup (That is the name, its non-scented soup great stuff)

Acne pads

Accutane (Usually makes it disappear pretty quick, but it can come back again down the road)

Face wash (find a kind that works well with you and use on your shoulders and back)

These are some things that come to mind, in no exact order.
