Acne-HGH-IGF

[SupraTT]

Can HGH or IGF cause ance, i seem to have more acne from IGF, i love this stuff, I feel great but I am getting some breakouts, what you think, I am going to use Retin A micro to help.

recall???

anyways...i dont know if IGF causes acne. its still pretty new. maybe some of the bros here who have used it can share some of their experiences.

i've never heard of HGH causing acne though. you might want to try Pantothenic Acid. you can pick it up at GNC.

i doubt B5 will help you much, but it may. i guess. if you do decide to go this route, instead of pantothenic acid, try pantethine. it is much more bio-available than regular pantothenic acid. but there are much better ways to deal with acne. i'd advise you to go to a derm and get some antibiotics if you're only running IGF for a short term. retin-a sounds like a fantastic idea.

IGF causes weird acne, i break out in very small bumps on my upper chest and lower back from it, places i normally don't get it with gear

how's the IGF working for you guys, btw?

Does HGG casue acne? How could IGF or HGH cause it? I figured it would help with your skin cause of tissue regeneration and such, and it does not work like a AS does with DHT and things like that

Hgh can cause it from increasing IGF-1 levels. IGF-1 can increase acne in females due to increased androgen output. I would imagine that the same efect can be seen in males if one is prone to acne.


Development of hyperandrogenism during treatment with insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in female patients with Laron syndrome

OBJECTIVE: Patients with Laron syndrome (LS) can now be treated with recombinant IGF-I. We describe the development of androgenization during IGF-I treatment of female LS patients. PATIENTS: Six female patients with LS--two clinically prepubertal (11.6 and 13.8 years of age) and four young adults (30 to 39 years old)--underwent long-term replacement treatment with recombinant IGF-I. The daily doses were 150 micrograms/kg/day by subcutaneous (s.c.) injection in the girls and 120 micrograms/kg/day in the adult women. METHODS: Testosterone, delta 4-androstenedione, LH, FSH, insulin and IGF-I were determined by radioimmunoassay. Blood samples were obtained after an overnight fast before the IGF-I injection. Serum IGF-I was also determined 4 hours after the s.c. injections. RESULTS: During IGF-I treatment, four out of the six patients (two girls and two adults) developed progressive clinical symptoms and signs of hyperandrogenism (oligo/amenorrhoea and acne). Laboratory determinations showed a significant elevation in serum testosterone, delta 4-androstenedione and LH/FSH ratio. The hyperandrogenism occurred concomitantly with an increase in IGF-I serum and a decrease in serum insulin concentrations. Reduction in IGF-I dose or interruption in IGF-I treatment restored androgen levels to normal values. At the same time, the acne and oligomenorrhoea resolved. CONCLUSIONS: Overdosage of IGF-I can lead to androgenization, a previously undescribed undesirable effect of IGF-I. Long-term IGF-I treatment necessitates progressive adjustment of the IGF-I dose to avoid overtreatment.

Retin-a is effective. You can also try a combination of guggulstones and pantothenic acid.....

HCG can cause acne by increasing testosterone levels-dihydrotestosterone levels. But the potential for this would be slight since your jewels can only produce so much test, a lot less then 200mgs/wk of exogenously administered testosterone injection.

Peace out..B32

Cool man, I Never thought IGF would have any acne at all
