Why do pro BB or people mega dosing NOT have acne?

[John89231]

Why do pro BB'ers or even some really huge guys clearly taking high doses not have acne? Some of them ive seen in person have completely clear skin and they are absolutely on. I'm taking MUCH smaller doses and I get mild to moderate acne even after taking steps to prevent it by taking care of my skin and even using proactive (benzoyl peroxide). Are these guys on Accutane year round or something is there a secret I don't know about? I'm about to start B5 dosing and currently taking Vitamin A (too much).

I just dont get it....

they control their estrogen

hormone fluctuations cause acne..

So how do I know exactly how much anti E to take? I've always controlled my estrogen to the point where I may be taking to much anti E. I take .5 mg A dex every 3 days. I'm on 500 mg of test. So hormone fluctuations are 100% responsible for acne?

Do more research, Least is always best. No one is going to give you an exact answer for that.

Fluctuations can cause acne, but so can a lot of other things.

It's best not to write it off as one thing when you don't fully understand all the mechanisms involved.

and u know what, if u never had a problem with acne before, odds are u wont

Acne as a side effect is genetical too. I had no acne in my teens, I get no acne from steroid use either.

I seem to get acne mainly from heat and sweating. That's probably the deal with a lot of other guys on here too. A lot of us work in jobs where we sweat from May to October. AAS dosages don't seem to be the major factor although when on my skin seems oilier and I sweat more easily.

If I was a pro bb I'm sure I wouldn't have much acne at all. I'd do my workout in a gym where it's not in the freakin 80s like mine is, and I'd come home and hop in the shower and put clean clothes on. Between that and tanning beds I'd be fine.

In the past I've heard that many bodybuilders keep a supply of accutane on hand and if they have a breakout they'll take some for a day or so. I think a lot of though is simply the lifestyle of a pro bb. They don't have to sweat for most of the day and they have time to worry bout things like breakouts if need be.

Pro BB take every drug under the sun to minimize side effect from heavy steroid use, accutane comes to mind for acne..
