How many experiencing Acne??

[Rednose]

I have never had bad acne, even in my teens it was always very minimal. I realize that acne can flare up from steroid use. I'm sure that the product used, doses and diet all have something to do with it but I was wondering how many of you guys have experienced acne while on a cycle??? Please specify if you used some type of treatment to counteract any flare-ups. I'm just wondering how often this actually occurs, Thanks alot for the help...

My skin got very oily while on cycle but I never got any acne. I never had much acne as a teen...hust the occasional zit or two. Anyway, while I was on...ieach time I showered, I used Neutrogena Deep Clean Skin Cleanser. It is some pretty wicked shit for removing oil from the skin. It can burn eyelids and sensitive areas. I used it mostly on my upper arms, back and thighs. I used one of those things that is in the womens section at Wal-mart called a pouf...one of the things that looks kind of like the old style dish scrubbers...but the one I bought was on a long platic handle that allowed me to wash my back.

Thanks for the info, I'm trying to cover all my bases before starting any cycle. If I did see some flare-up I would like to keep the remedy simple and over the counter would be perfect.

My skin got oily and I had some problems with my back breaking out, nothing serious though. Since test increases the size of the oil gland, this allows better access for bacteria the causes of pimples. I would suggest to you to get you some good anti-bacterial soap such as Physoderm. I'm prone to get cysts under my arms so my doctor recommended that I use it. You should be able to pick it up at your local drugstore. It's not a sure cure and if it's sever enough you may want to get some Accutane.

I get a few spots once in a while on the shoulder area. I find that massaging rubbing alcohol on my shoulders dries the skin and causes them to heal faster and occur less frequent.

I also use a non oil based lotion like Curell to moisturize the skin after a shower. Not just all alcohol all the time.

I broke out bad on my chest and neck. I'm using some Retin-A that tiger told me about in just a day I noticed a difference.

I never had much an issue when I was younger. Except around my helmet and chinstrap areas during football season. I get a few acne spots on my shoulders and back. I use alcohol to treat the area and it goes away. I have even used a bandaid to hold a cotton swab soaked in alcohol on a spot overnight to dry it up. Usually acne is no problem for me.
