Hey guys i'm currently on prop and i'm noticing some blochiness on my skin. Now i used to spend quit a bit of time out in the sun as well as in the tanning beds to get rid of the acne that comes with taking steroids, but i never had my skin start to turn lighter or darker in different colors. is this a side effect? Any info would be great. thanks in advance
See a dermatologist
Are you using the sunbed at the moment bro? I sometimes get this "blotching" on my thighs and legs. Its because of the sunbed, as my skin is fairly sensitive. Did you notice this only after starting the prop? It might just be a coinsidence.Quote:

If you'd like to go the Western route of treatment - which treats the symptom rather than the underlying problem - then a moisturizer or hydrocortisone would be a good idea to help clear things up. I used a prescription called "Cutivate," and it seemed to work fairly well.Quote:

The only real solution is to cleanse your body of internal pollutions, which can be done (and is already being done) in a variety of ways. Though it sounds like you probably maintain mostly healthy habits, you should consider investing some time and thought into cleansing if you get the chance. As the old saying goes, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," though the Pharmaceutical Companies who sell you expensive prescription remedies would definitely disagree!
Good luck with solving your problem.
