Acne...please help!

[DiezdEagle21]

Got off a Test/Deca cycle back in Jan. and noticed acne forming on my back, shoulders, upper arms, and little on the chest. I've tried every product out there. Currently on Minocycline and have a dermatologist appt next week. It has subsided somewhat but still have red dots on me!

Has anyone been in a similar situation that can offer some advice to clear it up and prevent it from happening again? Thanx!

im in the same boat as you bro after my last cycle that ended in may and i broke out like crazy for the first time ever. i tried everything and nothing worked so last week i got some blood tests done and tomorrow im going to pick up my script for accutane.

i had originally bought some liquid accutane from ag-guys but realized before starting that my insurance would cover the derm appts and the tane so i went that route.

i was hesitant at first to take the accutane after reading about all the side effects and shit but at this point this acne shit is really getting on my nerves to the point where i dont ever take my shirt off now in public and sometimes if i lay on some of them a certain way it fucks with my sleep.

check out acne.org for more info on acne and accutane and if youre ever feeling bad about your acne take a look at some of those peoples faces/bodies, i feel bad for them and thank god i didnt get any on my face/visible areas.

i plan on starting a cycle in oct while on the accutane so i should be good for my next 2 cycles or so with being on the tane for 6 months so im not worried about it coming back or happening again. once the 6 months is over and i run more cycles ill look into maybe taking 20mg eod just for maintenance or something like that to prevent it again. some people take the tane for the 6 months and acne never comes back and sometimes comes back with others.

I should also mention that I naturally have oily skin and had some problems with acne just on the shoulders when takin ProHormones. Never on the face though.

Start tanning 3 times a week for two weeks, then drop it down to twice a week. It's the only thing that works for me without going on accutane which has some nasty sides.

Thanks mesco. Felt like I was the only one. Didn't go to the beach all summer. Wouldn't even take off my shirt for my girlfriend. Finally had to show her what was goin on cuz she started to get paranoid that I was hiding something else from her. I'm havin a tough time getting accutane cuz most dr's are hesitant to prescibe it. I had some bloodwork done now and next have a dermatologist appt.

If he doesn't give me a prescription for accutane and tells me to stay on minocycline, I'm gonna have to get it elsewhere (Don't know where though). Man this sux! Can't wait for the day that I'm not embarassed to take off my shirt again.

By the way what type of juice did you take that think might have caused the acne? Also what is ag-guys?

yep.....tanning does wonders for the skin......also shower 2 times aday.......and wash affected area with a topical acne solution.

ag-guys tane is amazing. been on it for 62 days. 100mg a day. I use to have Severe oily face, and it cut that down by 90%. Acne 95% gone.

My problem is Face. i never get bacne, i get some on arms.

only side is severly chapped lips. Using carmex 10 times a day doesnt help.

that's a pretty high dose from waht i've read

becareful of your liver values. mine is currently double the norm from accutane. i was on for 4 months but my total doseage from start to finish is still lower than the amount of accutane u took for 62 days.

nizoral shampoo as a body wash 2 times a day
generic salicylic acid acne creams(read the labels) general area 2 times a day
generic oxy 10 type acne cream on blemishes only 2/ed
gold bond medicated body powder 1/ed(salicylic acid)
some tanning would help(radiation kills the bacteria)
generic multivitimin
reduce dietary fat intake

just got back from the derm and got my accutane, hes only starting me off at 20mg ed to see how i respond.

liver, cholesterol and all the other stuff was normal. he did say my glucose was a little high but could be attributed to that i didnt really fast for the whole 10-12 hours before the blood test and that my white blood cell count was high too but he said that could be just from my body trying to fight the acne. he said he'll see what those values do on the next blood test.
