Back acne, gotta get rid of this shit.

[gtrcivic]

I have really bad acne on my jaw lines which sucks. Would trade that for the back anyday. At least you guys can cover it, while i can't since its on my face!!

Last week my dermatologist gave me 90 day supply of:
Doxycyline 100mg, Cleocin T Gel , Differn Gel, and Brenoxyl to wash my face with. Hopefully when i get it , it will make all of my acne disappear.

In the meantime, i 've been taking 5 gms of B5 for 3 weeks and its dried my face out. No more oily skin during the day, or in the morning from sleeping. Also using Dial Antibact soap with Hydrating vitamins. Sure can feel the tightness of the skin after washing my face with it during the day.

Its been 2 1/2 months since i got off of sus and not sure if this is the results still from it, Or the fact that i'm turning 30 and my hormone production is slowing down??????????

Re: jesus christ

every day there is new acne posts, are you guys reading through the archives. Everyone has these complicated rountines of scrubbing and buying perscription crap. I have been saying that ALA can get rid of acne and prevent. Why is no one listening? I don't feel sorry for any of you. Unless you tried it if so let me know that it did not work and I will know I am a freak. Use about 1000-1200 mgs a day and I bet it will be gone in two weeks max. YOu have to use it in your cycles anyway.

I agree. Cleocin-T is a topical antibiotic used for mild-severe acne cases. No side effects. I have used it and it works.

Lifestyle....

Some ideas from what I've seen other guys go through....

1. Check your diet for acne-inducing foods (tend to be specific to some people).

2. Get a back brush or scrubber. Exfoliating your back when you shower will help drain current acne and help prevent clogged pores.

3. WASH YOUR BED LINEN REGULARLY, esp. if you sweat a lot when you sleep. It traps dirt and body oil which only rubs into the skin as you sleep.

4. Try showering before bed. A clean body has less junk to trap in the skin while sleeping.

5. Hit a tanning bed. A lot of my body acne went away with just once a week sessons. The UV kills the acne bacteria very well.

what dosage does every1 use of B-5, i got Twinlab B-5 from GNC and its 500mg per capsule im pretty sure....and ive been taking 2 caps 3 times daily....is that too much? I havent really noticed a difference, but i think its preventing them more, i havent gotten any new ones, im just trying to get rid of all the acne on my shoulders???

What has everyone used for shoulder acne?

 

[Bill W]

Cleocin T works very well for shoulder and back acne. I'd recommend it highly.

i used cleocin t, retin a and an oral antibiotic called minocin or something like that and it didnt do a whole lot. tanning helps me more. i plan on getting a script for accutane.

could we use an SOS pad, to scrub out backs?

the only thing thats really going to clear acne up is accutane.

at least if you dont want to keep on your acne regimen for the next 20 years.. i know i sure as hell dont.

some people have recurrances with accutane but even then its way milder than previously.

i have a buddy that has a pretty good connection for accutane since i have no insurance to cover it. if anyones interested, pm/email me.
