Serious Question about breakout / acne

[the_clockwork]

I am getting the worst breakouts I've ever had in my life right now.

My forehead is breaking out and my chin slightly but my arms and shoulders are getting a bad case of bachne.. This isn't bad enough to get accutane but it's annoying b/c I hardly ever break out.. I'm not on a cycle or anything.. I've upped my water intake for last week or so and it's not getting better, seems to be getting worse.. My diet is clean

what are some over the counter products to try?

does that dry it out? I think it's breaking out b/c it's too dry now.. my face gets too oily but back gets too dry.. fuck me running

I'm gonna go tanning today to clear some of it up

 

[string_bean00]

how long have you been off cycle? I always get acne like that a couple months after I came off...hormones readjusting

 

[the_clockwork]

Just coming off but ran a dbol only cycle and i NEVER have broken out from dbol but also never run it solo

NO..NO...NO!

You should NEVER use that crap on your skin. Most people think that drying out the skin weill clear up the zits, it's NOT true. You NEED something that has some mositure in it to absorb the oils. Embrace those oils, you'll love them when you reach a certain age...LESS WRINKLES!

I'll ask my pal who's a cosmetic dermatologist if you'd like.

Stress levels?

Dianabol was the only thing that ever gave me acne...almost overnight. I'll never use that stuff again.

And yeah, alcohol works great, but it dries you out.

Stress levels?

I have a normal degree of stress but not large.. I don't think it's stress related but it is stressing me out having it

Apple Cider vinegar swabbed on before bed works for a lot of people I know. Try keeping your back exfoliated, too. Use a scrub or soap with salicilic acid in it.

What ever you do..DON'T pick at 'em. Scars would be even worse than this lil break out you're having!

DON'T listen to String, either. Sorry, String!
