**dirtybeast** · 06-20-2006, 05:14 PM

HI guys, starting a ten week cycle of test enanthate and dbol tomorrow but im really concearned with the resulting acne i may get. i know that accutane is used to combat this but it sends me mad in the head, depression and shit and im not willing to risk my mental health! iv heard of this b5 vitiman panthanoic acid or somthing? would this help, along with tanning and proper cleansing. I mean how the hell do the pros skin look so good???!!!???

**gymrat12345** · 06-20-2006, 05:23 PM

i currently in my fourth wk. of a a similar cycle. I had to use accutane in high school cause my shit was off the hook, so i've always been worried about acne and aas.

All i can say so far is showering or washing face 2-3x daily helps keep skin dry for me. Sides aren't to bad, just a little more face acne than usuall. But shit i got more acne when i ran an m1t cycle, and m1t gave me back-acne...which i don';t have using aas!

well do u have problems with acne when ur not taking gear? Did u have problem with acne when u passed through puberty? If not then i wouldn't worry to much about it.

**dirtybeast** · 06-20-2006, 05:27 PM

yep had bad acne on chest and back through puberty its a bitch, the accutane cleared it rite up but then it came back! its not that bad now but i really dont want it to go crazy wen i take this cycle!!

**gymrat12345** · 06-20-2006, 05:30 PM

you'll be alright bro...just wash. chest and back is better than all over your face! shit you can at least hide that...

**dirtybeast** · 06-20-2006, 05:32 PM

true true!! lets do this shit!

**Moe-mentum** · 06-20-2006, 05:34 PM

Ya, I hear ya Dirty, not much into the acne seen if I can help it.
I am actually going to talk to my doctor tommorw to discuss the possibility of a low dose accutane regimine of possibly 2-2.5 mg every second day or even 1 mg every day.

I have been finding more and more research on low dose accutane treaments and the benefits of it.

I actually posted the link on another acne thread yesterday.
I would like to include a low dose accutane regimine into my PCT just for counter measures.

I'll see what he has to say tommorow.
He's a new doctor so I am going to have to read him and see if he is the kind of doc that would help me with PCT products as well.
I'm hoping we can be cool like that.

We'll see.

I go to my doc and get antibiotics, he gives me three refills so I have some for pct, when I get it real bad.

**Twisted_Steele** · 06-21-2006, 04:27 AM

Accutane is nothing more than a huge dose of Vitamen A. Just get you some Vitamen A, some B5, and some Proactive Solution(or the Walmart knockoff...it is good too) and a big ass long-handled Louffa to scrub the hell out of your back. Some toner or astringent is good to have if your skin gets overdried.

**Moe-mentum** · 06-21-2006, 04:30 AM

Thanks Steele but I ****ing hate topicals.....

Vitamin A and B5, now thats another story.

Gonna talk to my doc and see if he has anything worthy to say.

**nygsxr1000** · 06-21-2006, 06:22 AM

**fitguy** · 06-21-2006, 07:46 AM

**Testostack** · 06-21-2006, 08:03 AM

B5 works quite fine if you use like 5-10 g ED!!

**Ufa** · 06-21-2006, 08:13 AM

The SUN works for me.

**Testostack** · 06-21-2006, 09:35 AM

I have something similar to Dalacin. It is called Evoclin. It has the 1% Clindamycin Phosphate as the active ingredient. Shit is $98 for a small ass can that is 50 grams! It covers my back maybe 7-10 times... Anyway, how much is that stuff (isotrex and dalacin) and where do you order yours? Is it script only, cuz the stuff I have was prescribed to me by my derm..

**oswaldosalcedo** · 06-22-2006, 01:35 PM

long time ago i have used dalacin,but now i use accutane is great! it is much more practical and effective and about where can be bought isotrex and dalacin, i will send you a pm.

dish soap works well with the backne or chestne. Other than that become a tanner and go to either the tanning bed or out in the sun. In addition, get yourself into a pool quite often. the chlorine used in sanitizing the pool will dry the skin out quite easily which will also be a helpful factor in reducing or preventing acne from occuring. I wouldnt really be too worried in having to use accutane so i would try these techniques first. Another soap that works well is cetaphil, i used it while on and it also dried out the skin then rehydrated it. good luck

what is cetaphil also is there anything specific for face acne ?

Proactive is great for acne prevention while on AAS. As for the antibiotics, I'd definitely go to a dr as soon as washes quit doing the job. Trust me, you dont want acne-induced hyper pigmentation (aka dark blotches from acne). As far as antibiotic pills are concerned, ampicillin is great for long term and cephalex is great for minor break outs and works quickly. Good luck.

yeah i was curious how can i get rid of those acne induced hyperpigementation spots ?

**hardgainer1** · 06-23-2006, 09:11 AM

What dose of accutane do you use and where do you stick it in your cycle? Post pre or during

**jimboboway** · 06-27-2006, 03:55 PM

for dark spots left behind from pimples, the best home remedy is to squeeze some lemon juice about 10 drops from a lemon into a cup and them apply it to the spots and leave it on your face over nite. Do this for about a couple weeks and all the spots should be gone. Lemon contains a natural bleach that will lighten the marks. Trust me i've done it plenty of times works like a charm, may tingle abit but works awesome give it a shot.

Clearasil For acne

**Testostack** · 06-28-2006, 08:26 AM

thx Gsxxr

**BigNick005** · 06-28-2006, 09:05 AM

For me, my face always gets all greasy when I am using, so I just wash it with bar soap a couple times a day to keep it dried out. I also carry around some stridex pads to use right after I work out or when Ive been sweaty. Havent had a pimple since!
