Acne all you need to know.

My Acne Tricks

I still don't buy the medical community's assessment that diet does not affect acne. I have tried most acne medications (differin, antibiotics, accutane, etc.), with only moderate success -- the exception being accutane, but the side-effects were too great. Since then I decided to see if the old wive's tale about candy and pizza giving you acne was true. So I systematically removed sugars and dairy products from my diet. Surprisingly, the cystic acne that I had on my face and back subsided considerably. I only got tiny little blemishes. So if you have bad cystic acne, try cutting out dairy, but you can still use whey supplements.

Also, i heard that sugar had good anti-inflamation properties. So whenever I wash my face, I pour a little bit of sugar onto the lathered cleanser and allow it to disolve. I then wash my face like I normally do. This definitely lessens the redness of acne. I strongly recommend anyone with facial acne give this a try for one week -- I guarantee that you'll see a difference!

I feel you. But with all those different drugs you have to be able to CONTROL the acne. It will take some time and trial but you find what works for you. Remember most acne meds take over4 weeksbefore they even start to help.

Great job bro. Thats alot of work you put into this and i know you did it to increase the value in this board. You got karma from me and a nomination for this post to be either a "STICKY" or in the "BEST OF ELITE" forum.

Thanks. I just know that from other post poll on side effect that ACNE was number one problem. Its just a fucking pimple so thiers has to be a way we (meatheads) can pick out the best meds to control it. Our acne comes from extra hormone induced. So far I used some oral meds and no help. Tried some topicals and they help to control. Tazorac so far is working to the point of almost clear skin. I like retin-a gel at low dose because I can still tan.
I would hope that board members would post thier results when trying out the meds. The better educated we are the better bodies we'll have.
