Acne

[daft1425]

Im on my 3rd week this mon of Test e at 500mg/wk
no gains yet, noticed sum strength gains but might be mental
and the thing thats really bother me is....ACNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i havent had acne since highschool! and evn then i had it like in GR 10
does that make me more prone to acne than ppl who didnt have acne growing up?

[farrebarre]

i dont think so, i never had acne and when on cycle i only got like 2-3 on my back. use accutane i hear its good

[daft1425]

ovc or prescription? cuz my doc prescribed sumthing forgot the name tho

[farrebarre]

no idea bro, my source sells all that shit. search for it on the forums u will find some good info on it.

Bro, I had some acne in high school but nothing like when I am on. Thank God I only get it on my chest and back and not on my face. I do get cystic acne on my chest and back though. It clears up when I go off with very little scaring. It is worth it to me though. This is not a scientific fact but I believ that if you had it as a kid you will most likely deal with it while on. I mean after all a steroid cycle is like putting yourself through another intense puberty. suggestions: wash with dish washing liquid. Take at least 2 showers a day/ due some tanning. If it becomes cystic like mine consider accutane. Good luck bro, I hope this helps

i dont think u should wash it with dish washing liquid, its not good for the skin. I just use soap and i have this glove thingy, its for washing ur face, its kinda rough so it gets all the dead skin off of ur face, ive done this for about 4-5 years and i never get any pimples

wat kind of soap? and glove thingy? where can i get that lol
sounds like an effective method

[farrebarre]

its no special soap, its not liquid soap just one of those dunno what its called but its a block of soap lol dunno if that makes sence, and the glove hm you could probably get it at bodyshop or something..

I beleive there is a corleation between acne durring puberty and acne during cycle

[daft1425]

bar soap lol
so go to a body shop and ask for a shower glove? i think i m gonna get laughed at

[farrebarre]

lol i dunno where to get the glove thingy, my sis got me one, but they should sell it somewhere that sell similiar stuff etc

[southpaw26]

Farre says dishwashing fluid is bad for your skin, so u shouldn't use it.. i have no idea.. but i would not be suprised at all if it really was pretty bad..

anyways...
the dishwashing fluid is apparently good cause it has DEGREASER in it.. like DAWN.. when u're on your skin becomes really oily... so the degreaser helps in breaking down the oils n washing them down the drain..

I am actually going to try using it.
i have not had any breakout this cycle.. but my skin is kinda ****ed up from previous cycles.. It might be cystic scarring i'm no expert.. if it is, prolly will not help much anyways.. but i'm gonna give it a shot over the week or two, see if there is some improvement.

before u use dishwashing fluid, try soap and something rough to rub ur face with, i used this method over the years, when on cycle 2-3 times a day (coz of really oily skin) and never had any pimples.. if it doesnt help then u could give the dishwasher a go

lol cute, as long as its rough enough to peel off that dead skin its good 2 go but wont they get soft when they get wet?

[daft1425]

nvr tried it
<--------i dont know either seemed relevant

[farrebarre]

well then, give it a go

[Pooks]

maybe get something on a stick like a brush.. i for one cant reach almost all of my back.

[elite2kr]

get a wire brush and scrub away

[tvd220]

i use a dish brush, but dont scrub too hard

[tvd220]

also, clean and clear oil blotting sheets work very well durring cycle, to keep those layers of oil on your face at bay. becasue its not good to wash your face too much

Don't mean to hijack, but does B5 really works for slight acne? i mean @ 5-10 g ED?
