how do the pros and top amateurs hide thier acne?

[Paingain]

Now surely some pros and amateur bodybuilders get acne too. Do they just do a really good job of hiding it with pro tan or what????

[limppimp85204]

lots of $$

[THE PUMP]

They lay in the sun a lot.

[dannyboy62682]

they own a tanning bed in their home.........lol

[Anhydro78]

I want to know how they hide their stretch marks. Im getting them on my forearms now. And my armpits look kinda bad but I have gotten over them by now.

[scotttiger54]

stable blood levels, alot of time in the sun and t-bed, and also some anti-biotics

[Paingain]

I know they camoflauge stretch marks with bronzing oil and alot of tanning, but I would just think under those bright ass lights that acne would stand out like a sore thumb.

[nickrizz]

i think its tanning also

[PrairieDawg]

they probably take accutane year round

[nickrizz]

accutane and their as, imagine their kidneys and liver

[Anhydro78]

Is accutane bad for you?? I was planning on going to the doctor to get some before I start this next cycle.

[ImmmtheIceman]

Its definitely tanning and alot of medication

There are some sides to it. Your doc could probably give you a pamphlet. It's pretty harsh on females but from what I remember hearing its pretty tame to males. But I've never taken the stuff so I can't say for sure. If you're prone to acne you'll probably need some during pct.

when i had acne on my bad my doc said 10 minutes of sun a day will help it with all the vitamins you get. well, really helped to clear up my back.

Accutane is harmful to the liver. They dont take accutane year around they do it once or twice to shrink their pores. Accutane is permanent so you dont have to keep taking it.

Permenant till they shoot again....

From what my doc told me, accutane has some pretty bad sides:
Hard on the liver
Known to cause depression
Dries out all the skin
chapped lips with cuts and stuff (Ive had friends who got some nasty ass fever blisters around their mouth)

Just take some b5 instead, it seems to work real well for many people (not all) and has virtualy no sides.

I took accutane a couple years ago. It works really well if you don't mind getting a blood test every four weeks and going through a stick of chapstick every day. I went from pizza face to completely clear in about 6 months. It's not a magical cure for acne though.. You will still get it occasionally, but it takes it from out of control, to under control... I just use some topical creams now when it flares up.

I would only take it if you have a really bad problem with it.... while you're on it it constantly feels like you have a sun burn on your face, and don't plan on going on any dates... your face sheds skin constantly.

anhydro, if your derm is a good one, he won't prescribe accutane to you unless you have severe acne and have tried the other medications..........its not stuff to mess with

Maderma is a lotion that helps reduce strech marks. You can get it at any drug store in the states.

i took accutane in high school. My acne wasnt that bad, I just wanted it gone. Worked like a charm, and now I get maybe 1 noticeable zit about every 2 months. Even when I was on cycle i rarely got them. Just keep that blistex with you at ALL times if you take it. The dry lips and slower healing were the only sides i got. I skinned my elbow playing bball outside and it never really healed. It got infected and I had to go to the doc.

[Stackertoo]

Tetracycline HCL. Works for me.
See the Doc or go to a feed store and get it OTC.

[weightshead]

nothing like going on holiday for a couple of weeks and catching the rays to clear my back right up...

[Casanova33]

one really bad thing i noticed with accutane was that it dryed out your joints real bad. when i was on it i had to tell my basketball coach i couldn't go in because my knees were hurting so bad. the nose bleeds sucked alot too.

[Anhydro78]

Any rectal bleeding???? Thats sounds like it would suck Nova. I might try to get differin gel instead.
