Nolva,clomid or adex won't help. Accutane will but be aware this is a strong drug with sides, only use for severe acne.
Dick not working!!!!!!!!!! why, have you got a loss of libido or ED.
If it's libido try 75-100mg proviron daily.

[spencer c]

ok, and its not real severe libido loss, in fact alot of the time im getting horny like an animal, just two instances i lost my wood before i could lay it... and anything other than accutane?

[british bulldog 1]

this is pretty normal

[Shurik]

I broke out bad on my 1st cycle but on the second one I started using cetaphil soap and it works like magic for me.

The reason you are having more acne is because of Increased Oil Production due to the adrogenic effects of the aas, bacteria feasts on this oil, therefore infecting your skin pours.

To decrease the acne you can dry up the oil by keeping pours opena, or kill the bacteria b.

a. Orally- accutane is the best drug to do this, (and in my opinion and many others the best drug to stop acne)
a. Topically- Benzoyl peroxide works as a peeling agent, increasing skin turnover and clearing pores, thus reducing the bacterial count there as well as directly as an antibacterial, and Salicylic acid stops pours from clogging by shedding skin

b. Orally- natural antibiotics such as B-5 is by far the best bang for your buck however it will only work for a few weeks, but buy bulk powder and take 2-3 grams a day 1g in the morning 2g before bed. Cleared me up amazingly

Or antibiotic drugs made for acne, which you ll will have to do some of your own research on those, they work well from personal experience

b. Topically- noxema with triclosan works well killing bacteria

or head and shoulders, which kills yeast, some ppls acne is cause by yeast

Finally up your water intake. It will reduce your toxin levels, which in many helps.

different things work for different ppl

good luck

Accutane while on AAS is going to really put a drain on your liver.

Before taking an oral supplement I would try topical products, something with salysilic acid.

Don't over wash your skin either. As far as tanning, it is good to tan, the vitamin D helps with acne; however, you do not want to use "tanning lotion" as they tend to really clog up your pores.


If you have a vitamin shop near by, go pick up some Silver Hydrosol (Colloidal Silver), Make sure it is at least 5,000 ppm... Dab it on the breakout areas.



How Silver Works:

Silver inhibits the growth of bacteria by deactivating the bacteria’s oxygen metabolism enzymes. In turn, this destroys the bacteria’s cell membranes, stopping the replication of the bacteria’s DNA. Source- Acupoll Precision Research, April 2003 Beiersdorf, Inc.


Science of Colloidal Silver

Colloidal silver is metallic silver particles suspended in a base of some other material. The base can consist of water alone or another liquid. It can have a stabilizer or surfactant in it. If the silver is in solution, i.e. ionic and it contains no silver particles, it is not a colloid. Most colloidal silver products contain a substantial amount of ionic silver, however, so we will be referring to colloidal silver to include the ionic content though recognizing the incorrectness of the reference.

Mild silver protein is not colloidal silver and will not be analyzed here except to observe that compounding silver with a protein is not necessary to derive efficacy. We will not address other silver compounds either, as they are an entirely different subject with very different properties, effects and uses. For purposes of this treatise, we will be considering colloidal silver products containing particles and ions in a base of distilled or de-ionized water. This includes the majority of the colloidal silver products commercially available today.

Basically, there are two silver components in colloidal silver products which give them their properties, silver particles and silver ions. Silver ions are silver atoms which have an electron missing in the outer shell. They are the smallest possible form of silver, about .28 nanometers. Silver particles are metallic silver consisting of clusters of silver atoms. They can range in size from less than a nanometer up to 1000 nanometers (1 micron).

Silver ions will combine with chloride ions readily where they are present. The human stomach contains a strong solution of hydrochloric acid. Silver chloride forms immediately in the stomach when silver ions enter it. Though silver chloride is harmless and in fact not even soluble in the body, it also has very little value. The same thing happens to silver ions in the bloodstream by virtue of the high chloride content due to the presence of sodium and potassium chloride. Silver ions, therefore are of little value inside the body as they are quickly combined with the available chloride ions to form silver chloride. One researcher, a Dr. Meade, has estimated the half-life of a silver ion inside the human body as 7.8 seconds. The only component of colloidal silver products which survives to work inside the body, therefore, is silver particles. This discovery is what has compelled us to strive for the greatest quantity of particulate silver possible in our product. We do not underestimate the efficacy of silver ions in a non-chloride environment, however.

Although ions are of an exact and uniform size, particle sizes vary greatly. The pursuit of small particles is at the forefront of research efforts. The reason that small particles are so desirable is that the smaller the particles, the greater the total surface area presented to the solution by a given amount of silver. The differences are significant. In a 1 PPM colloid of particles at 100 nm (nanometers) in diameter, the total surface area of silver in a cubic centimeter of solution is .042 square centimeters. With 10 nm diameter particles, the total surface area is .42 square centimeters or 10 times as much. We can say, therefore, that available silver is 10 times greater between the two. Proportionately, then, a colloid with 1 nm particles is 100 times as effective as a colloid with 100 nm particles.

i have an issue with this, i work in the medical field.. it's common knowledge that when you take antibiotics your body becomes more tolerant to them, making them less useful when you have to fight an infection.. i, personaly, would omit this
Or antibiotic drugs made for acne, which you ll will have to do some of your own research on those, they work well from personal experience

Also, antibiotics destroy both the bad and GOOD things in your body.

In turn, you should take a ProBiotic when taking antibiotics.

[anadavid]

i use Accutane and its help...

now when i use hgh...i have nice skin like baby..hghrule

[Karo]

I've found that a week of Amoxacillin @ 1000mgs/day will clear up a bad breakout pretty well. During the first 3 weeks of my current cycle I had some pretty bad acne. I started taking 300mgs of b6/day and using acne annihilator face wash every day. The combination of the two have kept it under control since then. Another thing that makes me break out is dairy products. If I drink milk or eat a good bowl of ice cream (never do) I can count on getting breaking out with acne on my face within 2 days.
Good luck! I know how much it sucks to be covered in it!

[mr.scientist]

they recommend you cycle the b-5, I do agree you assess the risks, all though my dermo but me on antibiotics for a length of time,

"Silver" looks interesting,

As far as accutane goes, the dermo put me on high doesage for months, I dont think she knew what she was doing really, now my face flushes badly, so I think you should start out with low EoD dosages, and stay at that level for a while, it will be much better on your liver,

grab you a couple bottle of acne annihilator at platinumlabz.com
the stuff works wonder for acne. my whole camp use it on a regular basis.
cheap and effective.

[personaltrainermark]

I broke out bad on my 1st cycle but on the second one I started using cetaphil soap and it works like magic for me.

I also use cetaphil, I used the liquid face wash on my back, chest and face from the beggining of the cycle through the PCT. I never had a problem with acne.

Also just stating the obvious here but, shower directly after a workout. If you work outside and are sweating alot take a extra shirt or two and change shirts every few hours that way the sweat and oil isn't sitting there on your skin. Hope this helps ya.

[honda450]

I am about 3 weeks (Test-E, Dbol) in and I'm using Neutrogena Acne Wash with 2% Salycic Acid and it's working good so far. I've always got zits on my back no matter what but I haven't really had a big breakout or any big juicers come up on my face. I'm hoping it stays this way but I don't even think the Test has really kicked in yet because my libido isn't up yet and I know the strength is coming from the Dbol.

buy Nizoral. this is a shapmoo that runs about 15 bucks. was your acne spots with it, this should help man... u can get it at rite aid

[stangmatt06]

The active ingredient is 2% salicylic acid for your acne annihilator...
You are overpaying for a product with a 2% salicylic acid active ingredient. ...

Honda's post above shows a similar product with the same active ingredient that can be bought at a local store for probably 5-10 bucks. You can even find some soaps that contain salicylic acid for a few bucks


PS: Avoid heavy lotions or creams on your skin (face, back, chest, arms, etc...). Cetaphil is always recommended when you visit a dermatologist. However, the cetaphil face lotion is very oily, I now use the neutragena face lotion and haven't had any problems with it clogging my skin or making it oily.

I did a regimen of accutane 5 years ago and it bascially "cured me" of acne, havent had a real breakout since. I highly recoomend but only with under doctor supervision.

[Tigershark]

Tanning has helped me a lot with not getting acne. A little bit on my back and that is about it.

[Barium]

I got one of those scrub brushes on a stick and use it with body wash and its helped a lot with the body acne especially on the back. If i didn't have this thing i would never be able to wash my back. Its even harder on cycle.

I have one of these for my back too haha. It works amazingly

This will work, I guarantee.... I get the worst acne ever and right now i dont have one pimple.

I wash face and chest with neutrogena acne scrub, then panoxyl soap, then nizoral 2%. This will work....and it's cheap

This will dry out a lot of people skin. Yes it will help the acne but it will also cause your skin to start flaking if you are somewhat prone to dry skin already. I personally can't use any acne wash on my face because it causes my entire face to peel off.

I use colloidal silver and a tanning salon haha

[Hazard]

I would like to remind anyone using accutane NOT to go tanning!

Using over the counter acne products and tanning should be helpfull in getting rid of the acne..... if it's not tho..... and you opt for accutane..... i recommend doing 20mg's/ed for a week or 2 (keep an eye on your skin..... your lips in particular) and then drop it down to 10mg's ed. I would also use lotion while on accutane...... regardless of how bad you get acne - if you take accutane..... it's going to disappear and lotion should definately be used to save your skin. MOST DEFINATELY stop tanning when using accutane..... as you can burn easier while taking it..... you'll annhilate your skin..... not good.

[FirstTimeRage]

Hey brother, i had the same problem ,acne started popping up on my chest/shoulders/upper back/lower back.

it started out as a small problem, progressivley got worse, post cycle i started getting HUGE CYSTS that left what i thought would be PERMA SCARS.

at first i thought melanotan 2 would help cover them up with a tan till they went away, but this just made the scars turn dark brown and red, making them more obvious.

IN THE END the only thing that has worked for me was this bar of soap called PanOxyl, its active ingredient is benzoyl peroxide 10%

then there is the wipe on stuff you need to get pescribed to you by a doc. CLINDA 2% H2049% ISOP49%

shower twice a day with the bar of soap and apply the wipe to yourself twice a day.

ANTIBIOTICS in pill form did NOTHING for me.

i find that applying antibiotics directly to your skin is what will help. good luck, mine has mostly cleared up and the scars are gone as well.

Not true, thats a random statement, B-5 had my skin clear for the whole 2 years I was on it. + It helps anytime I take it now but just needs about 3 days to start working again at around 6-8gms a day I did.
