I have Steroid Acne really bad! Please help!

[Fish]

Deca killed me. I went to the doc and got a pill. An anti bact of some kind, tec?. Also I have my own pool and put extra clorine (sp?) in it and went swimming. This helped me.

Best luck

All of ya'll have good ideas. The ocean will definately clear it up real fast. However, you might think about taking some double strenght bactrim which is an antibiotic used for acne, as well as urinary tract infections. Mix this with Differin gel (this works especially good on those big fuckers that wont pop since they are under the skin). Maybe even some benzyl peroxide cream. After i did 2 weeks on mag-10 my acne got worse. however, these helped out a lot.

Yeah, i know, i did ph's and not real gear. i figured i would hang out here for a while and learn before i run in half ass backwards and abuse them. after all, its those fuckers who give the bad rep to AAS. Just saw your post and thought i would offer some advice.

P.S. I recommend the double strenght (DS) bactrim which is 800mg as i feel this works a lot better for acne than the 400. take it twice a day. You can get this from medsmex for about $20 for 28 pills. Good luck!

B5, do a search on it. Buy the powdered form, it's the cheapest.

Retin-A will truly not help you very quickly. Retin-A and Accutane work through the same mechanism, which takes a long time to take effect. In fact, it can actually make it worse for a while. Whether you use Retin-A depends on how long your cycle is.

Mind you, I have had severe acne before, but not from gear. Accutane worked well for me, but neither it not Retin-A is a drug with short-term benefits.

A BIG difference between accutane and retin-a, relevant to the speed with which they work, is that retin-a is topical.

If I get one of those deeply imbedded pimples and apply .050% retinoic acid more than two nights in a row, or a coiuple of times a day, I start to peel like an old sunburn. If one of those zits pop up, I use the .050% retinoic acid two days in a row, one day off. In 4-5 days the sucker has surfaced, and I can pop that nasty little zit seed out without damaging my skin.

Guys..I've never ever had a problem with acne and now I have a freakin TOOON of zits on my back and shoulders.....not THOSE LITTLE ONES either....the BIG DARK ONES. All over my back. I mean do you guys have any suggestions cuz it's really disgusting looking.

Thanks !

Bro, important question: are you soaking in baths? Soaking in baths creates a damp environment for bacteria and makes steroid acne much worse.

Keep your skin dry. Short showers only.
