Back and shoulder acne

Does Accutane cure acne for good? Or will repeated steroid cycles just make it go back to normal? Or is accutane a one time thing?
 
Great thread. For me, it's the exact opposite. I never had back or shoulder acne. The first time I came OFF I broke out like crazy. Didn't really go away untill I went back ON! I'm currently 8 weeks off now and I'm the worst I've ever been. Washing twice a day with acne scrub and tanning and taking monocycline (sp?)

Will try some of the above advice however, or just go back on :)

I got something called Evoclin prescribed to me by a dermatologist. Cleared me right up, hasn't come back since, even when on cycle. I continue to use it year round now.
 
not sure if you gys can get it (im in australia) but Clindatech is awesome.

Its a topical anti-biotic cream made by dermatech. Ive had very bad back acne even before juicing as a teen and this is the only thing that has worked. Its prescription only in OZ.
 
I don't get very much acne, but once on Anadrol 50,

I got zits from purgatory, looked like permanent boils, the only thing that helped was Retin-A .05%

Accutane (you can get generic pretty cheap by the way) really is the only thing that works properly.

All the Benzol etc, simply kills many but not all of the bacteria that get into the blocked pores.

Accutane actually dries and shrinks the sweat glands, affects can last for years. Your first course of 2-3 months depending on if you look like Dominos or have a milder one, can be anything from 20-30mgs per day.

The affects can last for 2-3 years or longer and the acne, if it returns is never as bad. Also through personal experience during a cycle, I learned that you only need 5-10mg per day to get clean up for subsequent cycles.

Remember, it is a Vitamin A dirivative and toxic to the Liver so don't do it whilst on strong orals and do get blood work done. It is what dermatologists will use when the acne is serious.

It is also useful for us body builders because it makes or clears up the affects of over active sabeceous glands post cyle.

There are sides so please check out the net for these.
 
yea ill prob just stick with tanning and topicals for now, since well I dont have it bad I just hate ANY pimples!!!!! (and the blackheads on my nose) lol

Accutane
4 months and your done with acne for life, no matter what you cycle.


this is a bold statement Ulter, not ONE pimple here and there? And even with huge fluctuation of hormones and (grams of test)


If this is true there must atleast be sides to this state of the body
 
From personal experience I think it varies from person to person.

I can tell you this from 3 cycles of accutane.

First one does the most and you get the most sides

2nd and 3d cycles (years later) with much lower doses clear up problems much quicker

Effects are very very permanent but not forever as per previous question.

The the cycles I am discussing were 30mg first cycle 3 months

the other 2 were 5mg per day for 2 months each and all worked equally well.
