Acne Problems?
This is usaully a very popular subject on here so I thought I'd give some personal experience- hopefully it helps. Anyway, I was sick of my gear-induced acne. I tried every soap and cleanser you could think of and was fed up. So, I made an appointment with a dermatologist.
I was honest with him about my AAS use and he said "regardless of how you got it, its stillan infection and needs to treated." He prescribed me ampicilin 500mg tabs and an anti-bacterial gel. I take the pills twice daily and apply the gel twice also. In one week, I can tell a major difference.
As for sunlight succeptability that usaully accompanies acne meds, this stuff does not (so i can continue to tan).
I asked him about the active ingredient in Nizoral (Ketoconazole). He said that it may help with mild cases but it was an anti-fungal not the antti-bacterial, which is needed to cure the infected oil glands.
ANyway, I hope this motivates people to go to a doctor. It cost me around $100 total (doc visit and meds) and is working great. I know we all self-medicate (obviously, we use AAS lol) but we dont always have to.

Fanatic, good post. If you have a doctor you can trust, it's a good idea to get their help. I use to go to a dermatologist when I had acne problems and told my doctor about using AAS. He prescribed me Minocin and Cleocin-T. He also ran full blood work on me to make sure everything was going all right. How long did your doctor prescribe the Ampicillin? I ask this because it is in the class of drugs called penicillins. I'm not stating your doctor is wrong, but Ampicillin is usually used to treat pneumonia, bronchitis, gonorrhea, urinary tract infections, and infections of the intestines such as salmonella (food poisoning) and run for 7 to 10 days.

I work in dermatology,i was runing my cyle like a year ago,so i start having "acne" in chest and back,my doc. start me in atibiotic for bacterias,but i have little improvment.So he decided to make a biopsy on my back,we call a punch biopsy...guess what,it was not a bacterial,it was a fungal, a yeast was the problem,and its not a acne, it was a foliculitis,we change the medication and no problem at all.
So not everythig has to be acne,can be other things...Lamisil (in tablet) can be an option...!

Another member suggested this and I liked it a lot. If acne is a side effect associated with elevated/increased estrogen levels, which is common during PCT if no AI is run, why not run a low dose of Letro to reduce estrogen levels effectively, as Letro is very effetive at this action. The same could be said whilst "on". Run an AI and it may solve the problem?

Buy a showerbrush with a long handle and put showercreme on it and scrub away, I have very little pimples. It works very good and you scrub away that dead skin that clog the pores.
