Here's my take on this,
As and adult acne sufferer (mild acne about every 2 weeks - a breakout consisting anywhere from 3-15 on my face - then cleared up for 2 weeks and repeated), I decided to see a dermatologist for this. At first, I was leary about using accutane since it has been hyped as such a bad drug, I decided to go with the acids (differing), topical antibiotic and also switching from minocycline (oral antibiotic) to doxycycline (another oral but stronger). My acne still stayed about the same, while off cycle. I had zits on my face and I started breaking out on my back since I started gear a year previously.
Anyhow, the toicals and orals just didn't do the trick, and yes, I have been off for about 6 months now. It seems that when you use steroids, it actually exasperates the original condition, which is why I brought up the fact that I was breaking out on my back now.
I came back to my derm, admitted that I should have started out with what he recommended, accutane. He put me on 60mgs of accutane a day. 1 in the morning at 30mgs, 1 at night at 30mgs. After 2 months, my liver values were excellent, my cholesterol values were outstanding, I developed what is commonly called, "the accutane rash" on my forearms. Derms look for this because it tells them that the accutane is at a sufficient level to start the change of the skin pores and derm layers. I asked if I could push it to 80 a day, because I don't want this condition to ever come back. So I did. And I didn't break out for the next 3 months. The dryness sucks, but with the right lotion (vaseline intensive lotion - white bottle blue cap) and a lot of lip balm and fake tears, I overcame that pretty nicely.
My dermatologist told me that what happens is that your oil glands are larger than normal and they continue to pump more oil out. Another problem with acne sufferers is the tube leading from the oil gland to the top layer of the skin is in a wavy s shape and what accutane actually does is straightens that tube out and physically shrinks the oil glands throughout your body. My other doctor, who knows that I juice, told me that when you are on juice, the juice tends to cause those glands to over produce oil, which will give you the horrible breakouts and nothing, b5 - topicals, anything , will stop it until either you change the glands physically or stop juicing.
I actually ran a short 5 weeker during the middle of my accutane cycle. I didn't break out once! After I finished taking accutane, it's still active in your body for the next 30-60 days, I started a small 6 weeker of test, which normally, test makes me break out SUPER bad, I had 2 zits the whole time.
The reason behind my experience, is that I just want to save a lot of bros money, time and frustration from trying all the normal ways to alleviate acne (which would work on the normal NON JUICING individual), and go see a derm and get the accutane and clear it up once and for all or buy your accutane from a research lab. Accutane is expensive, don't get me wrong, but your ins. will cover it , but either way, it's the best medicine for the money, because to this day, I'm acne free after running 2 short cycles.
And, even if you run a larger cycle, you will still break out, but a zit here or zit there is nothing compaired to the normal effects from juiciing. I also found that after you run a 6 month cycle, it fixes the problem. And if the problem reoccurs during a cycle, it's not as bad, as I just said, but you can run 20mgs of accutane prolly e0d around week 5 of your cycle to the end.
