Acne treatment?

[bbkingpinn]

After 8 weeks of npp (500mg/week) and test prop (100mg/week) I noticed yesterday a few pimples on my back and neck. What do you guys take for this?

Sounds like a bad ass cycle bro

Personally, I'd have your wife put on a topical (hehehe), that's probably the most effective/safest route. There's this topical "Benzamycin" stuff that's part antibiotic and part peroxide. I've found it to be quite effective and fast acting. It is prescription tho but should be pretty easy to get.

Good luck, oh and how were your gains?

ive heard alot of discussion about people using Bactrim Ds, it isnt as hard on the liver or skin as acutane but will clear up the acene decently

There's nothing magical about bactrim DS. Its simply an antibiotic, there are better antibiotic choices for fighting acne.

Best gains were squats ... from 315 x 8 (which isn't very good for me) to 405 x 7 (I never moved 405 before)! Bench went up about 40 lbs, and other lifts went up about the same degree.

I have ALWAYS found that using an AI like Femara seems to clear my skin up better than ANYTHING else...

Femara is the same as letrozole, it's an anti-aromatase which prevents estrogen. How does that affect the skin as far as acne? I would think maybe proscar or something else that reduces DHT. What is your rationale?

B5. i forget the exact dose needed for acne but this is good cheap stuff to use to combat acne. i dont have a link to the product though

lol, I KNOW what it is...

But all I can do is give you an educated 'guess' as to why it seems to work so well for me for acne control.
I just seem to break out from an overabundance of estrogen (my guess anyway), and anytime I DONT run an AI I break out...

^ ditto, seems to not only help my skin, but also my sex drive and energy. I take adex, but same difference

take B5 at at least 6g a day in 4 doses. If this doesn't help bump the dosage to 10 grams. Then when the acne starts to go way lower the dose to 5 and the 3g a day over a few week period. If the b5 works, but not 100%, then also take some guggulsterone synthetic version 100mg a day in 3 doses. If you want a link to a cheap place for this stuff pm me. EF doesn't allow it because there too cheap.
