holy fuking crap i'm breaking out

[Kilburn]

all of a sudden my arm is just exploding with red dots. it is so wierd because my right arm is totally clear but my left looks like i have a disease. i am embaressed to wear short sleeves right now. retin-a was working so well now it seems to do basically nothing, what the fuk. i am very depressed. i guess i have to go back on accutane.

[guest]

i would see a doc about that. your body is obv trying to tell you something.

[Kilburn]

blood pressure is fine.

ive always had acne even w/o steroids. in highschool i was the kid that was covered. horid bacne, bad face. i have scars. it's probably partly why my selfesteem is so shit. it just sucks because i had it so under control then all of a sudden this happens.

[Canadian Bodybuilding]

What are you on?

[St]

Get Avenno for oily skin,works wonder you can't go wrong for 10.99 at shoppers.I have tried every thing right up to Acc but my skin doctor said give it a try it really reduced out break so i tried it and 95% of all my acne is under control year round.

[Mr.Freeze]

let me guess you just finish your cycle?

[xxSCHiSMxx]

I'd see a DR like previously mentioned. If it's anything serious, which I doubt, Dr will possible refer you to Dermo. You don't have to mention aas use.

Red dots, do you mean acne, or something rash like ? I have friend w/ condition know as folliculitis. It's like what you describe, red dots, and lots of them.

Some times the folluclitis will act up if he changes body soap, laundry detergent, stress, etc.

[tex]

accutane is one of those super harsh meds that should be a one timer drug.

the red dots does sound a lot like folliculitis. see a derm. will probably give you a strong anti-bacterial/antibiotic soap.

[MIAGIONJUS]

bud i feel your pain... my back and shoulder blades have started to breakout and it sucks assssssssss

[Kilburn]

let me guess you just finish your cycle?

ya, been cruising on a bit of test for the last few weeks. i was going to cruise a bit longer and then just start my next cycle.

i dont understand the difference, a zit is a zit is a zit. if you can pop it, it's a fuking zit.

i'm going today to buy teatreeoil.

[shithead]

Whats dosing like? is it regular? with some ppl fluctuating test levels will cause an increase in undesired sides.

A buddy of mine was scarred by Uni-Test Suspension, he was being a retard and taking 3ml/day. It took a few months for it to go away.

As a rule of thumb, less volume and more frequency.

[guest]

again. your body isnt reacting like that for the hell of it. you can get something to treat the symptoms but it wont treat the cause. you are being given a message that there is something wrong. see a doctor, review your diet...how much processed shit does it include? what is it lacking in?

o ok, so when i was 14 and got cystic acne on my back that scared me for life it was because "something was wrong". ya, there is something wrong and it's called shitty genetics.

my diet: 3 oats/milk/protien powder shakes.
pasta with 1/2 pound extra lean ground beef
4 eggs, 1 strip bacon, 2 toast
potatoes w/ sour cream can of tuna, 1 chicken breast.

usually something like that.

i'm going today to buy teatreeoil. thats a broad generalization. id get it checked. untreated folliculitis can be more than just cosmetic. the little open sores can easily have other bacteria enter into them ( MRSA ) esp on your arms since they are exposed when you are in the gym. you dont want mrsa...trust me.....had mrsa last year.....the most painful shit ever.....and it takes forever to get rid of......

you're right. there is obviously nothing wrong, compounded by a history of nothing being wrong. it is impossible that your body is having a negative/stress related reaction to something. your genetics just like to **** you over randomly. that makes more sense.

maybe try and pack some more dairy into your diet and keep up with the absence of fresh produce.

a bar of soap is all you need to be healthy.

thanks bro, i'm going to pick some up today.

[BAM]

I too have developed the cursed acne on week 4 of my cycle.

Does this avenno soap work? because wtf is the use of having a great physique if you can't take your shirt off. BLaRg!

Cursed waxing! Gets me every time!

Whats the best way to deal with ingrown hairs?

[Houstonbc]

man i had to go to the doc and got some minocycline it did the trick
aveeno soap did **** all for me

[Houstonbc]

tanning seemed to tame it too

[gsxr750]

Stand up bed. Don't lay in your own sweat :)

[BAM]

I have some minocycline I got from a doc a while ago but I was hesitant to take it back then. Maybe I'll give it a try.

(Tanning bads are bad MMmkay)

[Kilburn]

this is old, everything is all good now. ive posted this before but again, this stack destroys acne:

teatree oil 2x ED in shower
1g B5 (pantothenic acid) and 1g apple cider vinegar 2-3x per day.
tanning
retin-a cream every night before bed

[Kronis]

there's your cure right there. But what do you mean 1g? ACV is measured in volume, not weight.

[Felinecougar]

This does NOT sound like acne or it would affect both arms the same. Dots are not acne...sounds like a rash of sorts.

Allergic reactions can happen on one side of the body though.

Try some Benadryl instead of acne meds.

Wait a second, you put apple cider vinegar on your skin? never heard of that one... it works?

[RagingRandy]

It gets rid of warts too

[Kilburn]

you can buy it in pills man. each pill is 500mg. it's easier doing it this way.

i used to put bragg's organic unfiltered ACV into a shot glass and do 2 shots of it a day. this works really well too but it's pretty disgusting. seriously, it's alot worse than doing a shot of hardbar.

it was definitely acne dude, it was on both arms but alot worse on the left one probably because i sleep on my left side. black heads, white heads, etc. definitely acne.

you can do this too but it stinks so fuk that. swallow it brah, it changes your PH or something. works really well.

[muscleshark]

Fluctuations in hormones causes acne. When you are on gear, or going off of it, this should be very well expected. I don't understand the alarm. Just because it hasn't happened to you before doesn't mean it never will. People going off on seeking medical help for this extremely common side effect is hilarious. I'm glad you found a way to get on top of it Kilburn, no need to enter a cancer clinic for the extreme case of possible folliculitus, rash-from-hell, skin plague,impatago ****in leprosy everybody seems to suggest!!!! LOL Im sorry but this thread was gettin funny.

[BAM]

Not alarmed at all..I get it every time.

Just lookin for remedies so I a can stay incognito about gear use when I pull my shirt off in the changeroom etc.

[Mad-Bull]

Awesome man thanks I'm going to try that next time. I had no idea

wouldnt freakish juice made veiny muscles be more of a give away? lol

[BAM]

Big muscles can be justified, but big muscles accompanied by a back and shoulders full of acne equals juice pig.

SUE-EEeeeeeee!! Snort Snort!

:)

[waderow]

it took accutane, and 6 months to clear mine.
i was on a long cycle, and my shoulders and back were so bad it was horrible. accuatne sort of helped, and cleared the shoulders, but the back took some time. i am all good now and going to get back on er and screw up my skin again LOL

[BAM]

I've been taking apple cider vinegar capsules with my meals over the last 3 days. My bacne seems to be clearing up. I'll know more in a week or so. Looks promising so far.

-will update.

[purelife]

where did you buy those apple cider vinegar capsules ???
also try PAN OXY soap bar removes oily skin

good luck keep us updated

At the pharmacy. I wouldn't run out and buy it yet. Gimmie a week or so more to really be able to tell how effective it is.

[Kronis]

ACV works wonders, I take it sparaticaly(sp?) if I have indigestion or notice my skin/hair isn't looking perfect. 1 tbsp in a glass of water 3X a day for a week, typically clears up stomach probs the first day and skin probs by day 3-4.

Also, i know it sounds counterintuitive, especially for oily skin, but be sure to moisturize with an oil free product right before bed, after you've washed your face. Works wonders. The skin heals when it's hydrated.

[purelife]

Any news ??? How many are you taking ????

[Blitz-Test]

Ive got a hold on my Post Cycle Acne now to, here is what I did,

2g D'Pantothenic Acid
2g Apple Cider Vinegar
Tanning 1x Week 15 Minutes
100mg Minocycline
Benzyl Peroxide 2-3xday

Cleared my chest up in a matter of 5 days, and my face is clearing up not totally clear, but its better than last week

[BAM]

Day 4.. things definitely look better

2 500mg ACv caps - 3 times a day with meals and have been applying a moisturizer (sparingly) before I go to bed.

lol, forgive me for suggesting someone try to improve their health instead of putting more chemicals into their body, fighting each new side effect like a dog chasing its tail.
he got the easy answer he was looking for, now he can continue on his road to the olympia.

[tex]

banacek....you're my hero.....

[Kilburn]

stay away from accutane if possible dries out your joints too. training on it is fuking painful.

[AlbertaBeef]

^^I've been runnin' 40 mg a day for about 2 months and everything is fine including joints or at least nothing out of the ordinary soreness from gear and heavy lifting. Just have the dry skin, chapped lips blah, blah, blah and taking lots of fish oils.

The thing is the drug does not effect everyone the same.

[purelife]

How is the acne ??

The face is clearing right up but the back still needs work, cystic zingers that seem to linger but I am trying not to have to up the dose.

[BAM]

It has been about a week and bacne has almost cleared up completely.. I'd say 80%

ACV capsules + oil free moisturizer gets a thumbs up for sure.

[juced_porkchop]

man since iv started AAS iv had acne probs iv tryed ALOT of things the teatree oil "dryout too much makes it worse over time" vitB5, alkinda of crap.
i use nizrol shampoo on my back/arms/chest 3-4 times a week. and its seemed to help.
tomorrow or asoon as i get a chance im getting ACV pills or liquid to try. id herd of it being good for you but never gave it much thought.

THANKS FOR THE POST'S!! :-D

any updates

[BAM]

any of you currently using acv?

[Dk]

will def start using tea tree oil and ACV.

Coming off cycle and my chest/bacne is getting HORRIBLE.

[kloan]

Tea tree oil is very effective in spot treatments.

I've started taking ACV caps, as a premptive measure. Man those bitches STINK!! I hate the smell of vinegar.. though if they work I don't care what they smell like.. so long as I don't burp em up.

[purelife]

I am on 20mg of SA accutane a day
the best thing my acne cleared in 5 days and i had bad acne
to the point that i had to go to the dermatologyst

[L3]

on ACV right now... no improvement
thinking about accutane for the summer.
someone chime in on proper use/dosing?

[natenator]

depends on whether going through Doc or underground?

[L3]

Ewww Geee :D

[natenator]

umm did I miss something?

[Kilburn]

20mg ed accutane for a couple months always seems to clear me up really well. but if youre like 300 pounds or something, you might need more.

SA accutane works really well for me, im on it right now. retin-a, tea tree oil and ACV wasnt cutting it. i was fine on cycle but as soon as i started coming off boom, acne everywhere, so, i had to hit the accutane.

what pisses me off is some people say that accutane gets rid of acne permanently, this is definitely not the case for me. ive ran accutane many times, once human grade from the dermatoligist and the acne always comes back eventually.

could be due to you constantly screwing with hormone levels perhaps?

I know guys who don't gas who have used as a teen and 10 years later haven't had many problems. Sure the odd break out here and there but nothing like they were when they had to go on it for an extended period of time.

[Dk]

picked up some tea tree oil..
it says to dilute it with grapeseed oil or something. should i? or do you guys just hammer the stuff on by itself

got some ACV to, accidently got the liquid form and not caps.

but the looks of the feedback, im not gonna enjoy drinking this stuff am i? haha

[kloan]

tea tree oil is good for spot treatments.. such as big zits... but for tiny little pimples all over the place.. i wouldn't bother with the tea tree oil.. you'll end up drying out your skin severely. i wouldn't cut it with oil either, i would think that would make things worse... oil.

good luck drinking that vinegar man. i'd take it back and get the capsules.

[srt8]

I started breaking out a bit probably 4 days into cycle, im on day 10 now. Day 5 or 6 i started taking ACV and havent' had a new zit since! I do notice i can smell vinegar in my sweat now though.

[tiramisu]

... my acv experiment fizzled ...

I'm not sure if the addition of adex, the tanning, or my blood levels evening out is the solution but I seem to be on the mend. Hopefully the marks will fade by spring.

[Gettin'r'round]

There are some studies showing adex/arom/letro/etc lowering acne. Estrogen is bad.

I've a bottle of liquid accutane to use at the first sign of oily skin. Used it before on a tren/test cycle and when skin got too oily, hit up 40-60mg/day for a few days until the skin dried out. Then went off and used it again once skin became oily again. If you can keep the pores from getting clogged you won't get acne. Not to many sides this test/eq cycle 2 weeks in, except sex drive..vroooom

ACV, B5 might work for some but I'm using what works for me.

[evoke]

i wouldn't bother with the tea tree oil.. you'll end up drying out your skin severely.


What's wrong with dry skin? I've had no problems.

[Dk]

What's wrong with dry skin? I've had no problems.

do you use it in high volumes though?

i would need to rub it on basically my entire upper torso

tea tree oil is for spot treatments.
For my upper body i use PanOxyl (soap bar).
Makes my upper body completely dry.

Don't get use it on your legs though, makes them TOO dry and itchy.

Order some doxycycline or tetracycline from ebay, they sell it for fish.

2 - 100mg doxycycline a day

1 - 500 mg tetracycline a day.

I am not a doctor, research this further yourself.

Or go to the doctor and get a script for minoxycline 100mg x 2 day
