Damn Acne

[dork]

I did a cycle of Winny only last summer and didn't break out at all. Not during or after, not one zit. My entire life I never really got bad acne, maybe a zit or two here or there, always on my face (real small, gone in a week) never on my shoulders or back.

Im gona be getting on 300mg of EQ for 10 weeks, and my biggest fear is the acne. Anyone here ever not broken out from Winstrol but have from EQ?

Anyone had bad acne experience w/ EQ?

I noticed my skin became increasingly oily while on Eq. I came off my cycle and had the acne pretty bad and was going to hit up some Accutain but I ran into my liver problems so now I am using Hibitaine along with taning and it seems to be working pretty well. I am also using 2 grams of Panthoenic Acid(B-5) a day.

Mustang, you ever take Winstrol?
If so did you find the acne worse from the Eq?

 

[MUSTANG_18]

I have not taken Winny yet, so I could not tell you which is worse for acne.

I have done WInny and Eq and Eq did make my skin much more oily, although I didn't really break out, just the usual sparatic zits on face, non on back or anything. But yeay, you'll want to invest in some good face clensers etc becuase it does make you oily.

I tried B-5 without much results. I read on a medical website that acne from steroids can be treated by taking 300,000 iu of vitamin A/day in divided dosages. Then after four weeks go on 50,000 iu/day.

I'm gonna give this a try...after all Accutane is basically Vitamin A.

Dr. Z, is vit A water soluble so that you can just piss out the amount your body does not require. If not, 300,000iu of vit. A per day seems quite high. Will a more moderate dose be any more effective?

 

[DrZaius]

Can't say for sure if it is water soluable, most likely not because you need the high dosage for a month or so for it to build up in your system. That is why you only take accutane for like 6 months and get blood tests done...

No, it is not water soluble. I did mega dosages of vitamin a along with vitamin e and it had a tremendous effect on my acne. This was right after high school, and my acne was horrible. A word of caution, work your way up on the vitamin a, don't just jump into 300,000 iu/day. For me, I can take it, but I have friends who cannot handle even 15,000.

Just be careful, because technically, those are toxic levels of vitamin a.
