Acne & Cycle

Cardinal Slin

New member
I know a few posts come up about acne when both on and off cycle and have searched a few posts but did not find an answer to my specific question.

I am curently on cycle:
50mgs daily winstrol
20mgs daily dbol (pre-workout)
250mgs sust eod (but 3 in total / week).

I have been taking showers twice a day and using a scrub with a body wash (with bits in it) to keep the skin dry and clean. The main vulnerability is on my back and neck and I have also been washing these areas my back every other day with isopropyl alcohol (40% solution) and it seems to be doing an ok job but very slowly more spots are popping out in these areas. I cannot use a tanning bed but will start making a weekly trip to the beach (salt water helps me with acne a lot).

I know using alcohol this way is not too beneficial for the skin but while I am on cycle for another 8 weeks, would it be ok to step up the alcohol rub to daily?

I am in a country where not too much is available for acne treatment and was wondering if anything else is available out there? I don't like baths too much as I feel it is a waste of water but would a bath once a week with epsom salts be of benefit?

My main question is about the alcohol but while I'm at it, is there anything else someone can suggest that works very well for them?

Thanks to everyone who may be able to help.
Cheers
 
I get acne on outer upper arms
and outer quads, I always have unfortunately.

I scrub these areas with body wash. I then scrub them with dove soap.. And this seems to help.. It seems to me that using the bodywash alone will sometimes aggrivate the acne more.

I have this EXACT same thing -- off cycle... going to find out again how it is on cycle soon..

yep. the extra stuff makes mine worse. rubbing alcohol and dial dish detergent actually made mine so much worse than i could explain. i wash with dove 3 times a day and that keeps things in check as much as could be expected.
 
use Nizoral (shampoo) as a face cleaner, apply a thin film to the face, let it dry a bit, then wash it off.. if you're using it on your back or arms or ass just leave a thin film let it dry and leave it alone..

should clear you up.
 
put some shaving cream on it. Then just shave over the acne with a brand new triple blade razor. Then apply the alcohol. It is best to kill the problem rather then facilitate the growth. :splat:
 
10% benzoyl peroxide look for that Ingredient. That knocks most acne out it's diff approach then most acne meds. Any drugstore has it. Tanning helps alot to, I'd say more then a medicine

good way to leave scars all over the place.
 
I had the same issue on Sus. I never had it before and never had it again besides with Sus. I can use Prop or Enth with no problems but not Sus. The last time I used Sus I had to go on Accutane to clear it up. I tried everything else but I could barely keep it under control. And like most of us, I tried so many things so often that I seemed to aggrivate it and do more harm than good. Next time try to stay away from Sus and see if that helps.

Ha ha that is loose advice!
do not do this!
you will end up looking like seal
 
you do realize nizoral is an antifungal; not an antibiotic which is where the staph easily invades the pores with clogged oils. Don't get me wrong it helps a bit, but doesn't really treat the source. FYI, I am an RN and have at least some slight creditability on this.
 
if u can get a topical solution w/ an antibiotic in it such as arythrmycin pads alone or Duac(benzoyl peroxide 5%& clindamycin 1%)...u can use that in conjunction w/ a benzoyl peroxide if the solution doesnt already have it in it...i havt begun my first cycle yet whcih will be a deca only cycle, but i already have acne problems and know alot about fighting it.

You're right! You're also wrong. Acne on cycle is triggered by? Nizoral blocks this receptor, it also dries out the skin helping the acne die out. I have a GED and work as a system administrator, so I'll leave the research up to you.

Burpees,

I don't have probs with my face, only my back. So you recommend Nizoral?

THanks

Thanks everyone.

daville, what is Hibiclens?

Its this stuff that is technically a presurgical wash but it works wonders for acne because it literally kills EVERYTHING on your skin. I use it on my face now in combination with a regular face wash (face wash first then hibiclens). Literally no new breakouts happen in the areas I wash with it. I'm sure it would work wonders on your neck and back too. You just have to be careful around your eyes, nose, and mouth because that stuff can fuck you up if it gets in either of those places.

Here's a link so you can see what it is: http://www.hibigeebies.com/sports/

how the fuck do you get that? is it legal?
 
www.ziana.com Expensive, but it works. Plus, the Retin-A offsets the wrinkles I may be causing myself when I am making those ugly grunts and faces that let me push an extra 10 lbs in the gym.
 
I use Betamethasone Valertate cream, its an S4 prescription and is used to clear dermatitus amongst other things.

Seems to work quite well...
 
Nizoral is good in the shower and take a bath with sports salts or electric salts very relaxing after lifting and good recovery .

Yup, totally legal. I buy it right at my local wallgreens. Also you can order it online.
