work out,powders,acne,suicide! HELP!

[poseydon]

i am male,born in 1981. in february 2005 i started to work out for the first time. i was 6'5" and only 185 lbs. i had no experience with weights at all, so i just followed instructions on the machines and pumping light weights. i went to the hi-health store asking for stuff to get me big. they gave me "rapid weight gain,formula VII" by X-RATED,and "whey protein" by X-RATED which were cheap commercial products. i used weight gainer in the morning with breakfast and whey protein in the evening with food,before and after the work out.in the first 10 months,by december 2005,i've gained 25 lbs. it was more like a fat and water weight,but it bulked me up. i was 210lbs. and then i just started breaking out like crazy. severe cystic acne all over the face,shoulders,back and chest. i looked so bad,so bad. i stopped seeing people,i was embarassed,my self confidence was killed and i almost commited suicide! i had quit going to the gym few months in the early 2006 and i just shrunk. all the mass i've gained i lost and dropped down to 195lbs by march of 2006. i was on antibiotics but they helped only few months and i started breaking out again bad in october of 2006.after that i was taking some herbs,but they dont help that much.i still work out 'cause i dont look that ugly now, but i still break out (2 and a half years) even if my 27th birthday is in next month. i'm not taking any powders 2 years, now i'm about 225lbs but i don't look that bulked up as i was with the powders. i am still motivated to get big,but it is hard without supplements,and i am very affraid to use them again even different ones,because i'm convinced powders caused the whole tragedy.
here are some facts:
some big guys said it is by the use of powders
some big guys said it is not from powders
some big guys said it is by the work out itself,because body is getting stressed out and bigger,and testosterone is growing up
my dermatologist said it is nothing from above.he claims it is body itself.he mentioned "hormonal imbalance" which causing oil glands to work hyper-fast and to produce abnormal quantum of sebum (skin oil) which gets clogged in the pores causing inflamation.
i refused medication "accutane" because that stuff mess you up.have anybody heard similar negative experience?im still not sure what caused my acne.i really want to gain another 25 lbs,should i go back to the supplements? THANX,MISHO.

I would've taken the medicine the dermatologist was going to give you. Might as well try it. It might help.

My friend took accutane for awhile and he was fine. He just said he didn't care about stuff as much. But he had bad acne and his face is clear now. It worked like a charm.

 

[poseydon]

thx for answer,but i am paranoid for many potentially dangerous things. i heard some people commited suicides 5 and 10 years after taking accutane. i just think a lot...

 

[chiquita6683]

Ive taken accutane before, twice maybe. It gets worse before it gets better but it will work. I dont think it was the powders that did it. I took it when I was btwn 15 and 17, Im 25 now and Im fine. I am on depression medicine but I have 2 brain injuries and am on alot of medicine.
Recently Ive had breakouts and so I take birth control and 2 different topical medicine.....works for me.
Good luck, and Happy Birthday!

look into panoxyl soap. you can get it pretty much anywhere. I had some ridiculous acne about a month ago and it helped tremendously.

 

[pyromaniac327]

Bumping this.

I started taking Whey Protein about 2 weeks ago. Everything started out fine, but sometime last week pimples started forming on my back, and I had never had anything like it there before. I told myself it must have formed from doing workouts on the ground without a shirt on. However, after continuing taking my Whey shakes, pimples (kind of) have spread to my shoulders and my chest. I also developed some on my face, however i take ProActive, and it works VERY well, so my face is clear.

I also changed my Diet to eating much less fatty foods and sweets, so i thought the pimples were caused because of a change in foods that my body wasnt used to, but after seeing this topic i'm pretty much convinced this isnt the problem.

Could whey protein really be causing this? If i stop taking Whey Protein, will it go away?

*gulp* I'm freaking out- ITs summer, time for swimming and such...i dont really want to even take my shirt off with this stuff on me.

 

[poseydon]

pyro,if i were you i would see dermatologist right away. you don't wanna get to the point where i was,no matter if your acne were caused by hormones or powders. the way you described your pimples, mine started exactly same way. first little by little, but few months after that i didn't have to buy halloween mask,if you know what i mean. since i'm 27 now and breaking out 2 1/2 years, sometimes i doubt powders caused it,because it's going on for too long. in the other hand,i never had acne when i was 15 or 17 or 20,but i get them when i was almost 25, few months after using weight gainer and whey protein??? maybe it was really the powders and my organs are just allergic to it??? maybe the protein is the one that messed up my hormonal balance? i guess this will remain as a accidental evidence or eternal mystery.

i have read your script ,now acne is not so dangerous disease , don't fear for the acne now online treatment is avail for solving it.

 

[orian]

It's a fact- curing acne can never be achieved by tackling one of the many factors responsible for acne. If you've ever tried to cure your acne using one-dimensional treatments like antibiotics or even detox diets and failed it's probably because you tackled only one aspect of the disease. Not only will this system teach you the only way to prevent your acne from being formed, you will also learn the only way to acme treatments for good - the holistic way.

acne

Is thier any home remedies besides creams to get rid of acne. im 15 and im not a connect the dots face but i mean acne is emberassing.

 

[tania10]

me, I'd also use accutane before but my acne gets worst. my friend reccommended me her treatment for acne. After months of using it, the acne dramatically cleared up !. I was so happy that my problem was solved! .This one's the best.

[anthonynelson]

Accutane's effect can vary from person to person. and acne is very common in every human being. These need to be sorted by taking precautions everyday.

 

[sprayherup]

Quit being a fag and get on Accutane asap. That stuff is the real deal. Those claims of people killing themselves etc are false. I was on it for 6 months for back acne and felt fine.

Nothing else will work.

 

[Dark Geared God]

take some midol and quit being a fag

 

[unclem]

thinking off or attempting to take your life, isnt good. i would highly recommend you take the accutane and eventually it will all clear up. ive used it before , about 20 times or more and i havent had only decreased night vision. its not worth killing yourself brother. i dont think its fucking funny when this happens to someone. dont listen to people use it , its the only drug that works for 98% of people with manifestations on there whole upper body. go back to derma. and get the accutane. take omega 3 fish oils and milk thilstle u can get it at walmart called spring valley 90 ct gelcaps milk thistle. get the omega3 at rite aide they have good fish oils there but omega3 is the best for triglcyerides and lipids are concerened. good luck my friend. iam sorry if i got very upset about people laughing at him and stuff, but my sister commited suicide in 2004 , shot herself in head with my gun . so i apologize for " losing it"
