ACNE is getting pretty bad....please help me

[Discreet User]

My brother was one of the lucky ones. He completed a proper dermatologist monitored course of Accutane, and went up to high doses 80mg/day.
However, his acne cleared so well that he wouldn't break out even if he washed with heavy moisturizer.

Now, 4 years after finishing his accutane, he is is beginning to see a few pimples here and there, but nothing serious like he used to have.

I'm towards the end of my first course of Accutane and am almost 100% clear

Salycic acid for chest/trap/shoulder pimples. The normal pimple creams at the store have benzoyl peroxide which is not very effective on upper torso pimples. Benzoyl peroxide is for facial acne. Salycic acid works far better. It is in Selson Blue (yes the shampoo). I just use it as a body wash. Cleared my upper arm pimples up in no time. Accutane only as a last resort.

I have had very bad acne and 3 things helped
1)Antibiotic(Doxycycline) prescribed from my dermatologist
2)Benzol peroxide soap wash
3)Limiting your milk intake

I just saw a commercial on tv about accutane, it was about the extreme side effects, and how a whole bunch of lawyers can sue if you suffered any of the side effects. I would be hesitant to try it myself.

Pumping your self full of antibiotics are not good for you and can make you resistant to them. Accutane is dangerous and liver toxic not to mention linked to suicide. Megadosing vitamins depletes you of other vitamins and can lead to hairloss and gastrointestinal distress.

Having a proper diet with one that is low in saturated fats and controls insulin levels is a great remedy.
The american diet is to blame for this epidemic as it is not seen as much in other cultures.

I'd like to note that my posts in this thread are regarding non-AAS induced acne.

Maybe changing something up in your AAS use, along with proper diet as others mentioned, should be your first step before adding additional medicines into the mix.

Adding meds is more often the problem than the solution.

Running an AI also should be used along with
my other suggestions. I going to an indepth write up and publish it on here for you guys.

I actually got this from a thread on this site back in mid/late nineties and have used it from time to time ever since. Desitin (the diaper rash ointment). No idea why it works but it does. You cannot rub it so if using on shoulders/back you have to wear a t-shirt to bed. I've used when getting a major zit on my face and next day...gone, no sign of anything, like magic.

Acne is partly genetic and pertains to hormonal patterns in each individual which causes the sebaceous gland to produce more oil i.e. acne. I used to suffer from acne before I ever cycled. My diet was pretty dam good. It has nothing to do with proper diet or controlling insulin.

In my opinion accutane is awesome with minimal sides if you take it properly. It's the only product that has ever worked for me and many people. I have no reason to bullshit.

In my opinion I believe other big companies lobby with one another against Accutane to give it a bad wrap. They are aware if dermotologist provided every person with accutane there would be no need for all those other shit products.
