AAS and Sun exposure

**IronCy** · 03-04-2002, 08:12 PM

Last year, I went on spring break with a buddy and a bunch of his friends, one of the guys had been taking AAS, not sure what or for how long...well, to make a long story short, we all got a lot of sun, however, this guy had like blotches of sun spots all over his body. He looked like a white and red beagle! Are there any known side effects due to sun exposure , tanning beds, etc?

First ... I know if you put it on uneven and then go in the water and come out you will burn in the places where it was applied less heavily. Its not necesseraly AS. Second ... is he taking anything for acne? Most products dry your skin and make your skin VERY sensitive to sun light. this is just my opinion.

I'm 99% sure that wasnt from A.S.
all people are different with the sun espically when taking an antibiotics or other medications.. Ive taken alot of gear and hung out on the beach, no problems for me..

also when some ppl have been tanning alot or are already dark, once they get too much, there body can no longer produce melanin in some areas which is why he has the spots... just a guess though

I take claritin for my allergies and sometimes after I tan I get blotches everywhere. I think it has to do with medication.

I've taken tetracycline and some other cream stuff for my face, a DERMO prescribed both of them to me, becuase he says i have rosacea, the shit hasnt done anything but make it worse, everyone says before it gets better itll get worse on the meds, so i waited it out, still nothing, im off of them now and my face is better then ever...but still really really sensitive, im thinking about going for an allergy test or soemthing.....pissing me off.
