I have quite bad back acne and I'm just wondering the best ways to get rid of it.
Do stopping steroids all together, get rid of them without taking any extra things to get rid?
What are the best ways to get rid of them?
I have some pantothemic acid (vitamin b5) with a take 10g of them a day.. haven't really been doing much. Need help now, please.
i tried everything for on cycle acne, even 2 months out from pct there was no end in sight. the only thing that worked for me was low dose accutane. started at 10mg for 2 weeks, then to 20mg for 2 weeks, now im sitting on 30mg for the last 3 weeks and im acne free, gonna kick it back down to 10mg very soon and continue that till i finish pct of this cycle.
everyone is differnet, you may have luck with otc stuff, it is proberly a good idea to exaust all options first, as accutane carrys some nasty sides, but when used in low doses the chances are, all you will get is very dry lips. are you using an ai on cycle? keeping hormone levels stable and estrogen in check is important.
Shower as often as possible, i found benzo paroxide cream was good, i had a shower version but i used to leave it on all day, not reccomeneded as it can burn your skin, it was fine it kept the oil down a but helped the acne slightly but really wasnt making and good progress.
I never did try b5@ high dose but tryed pretty much everything else, weird thing is i never experienced any acne in my teens only on cycle.
good luck!
dude your profile says you are 18, get off the steroids, what are you running? if you think you are having issues now, you could be in for alot more problems than a bit of acne. there are some good threads here that explain the dangers of young people using steroids, i suggest you take a read and be smart and take the advice.
Go to the Spa section, I posted about PanOxyl!!
What has worked for me on every cycle, and I had one really bad break out that I was able to clear up in a few days was get the acne wash from CVS Pharmacy called Blade. Use it with every shower along with one of those rough scrub things and tan everyday. Did me wonders.
get you some acne annihilator by platinum labz. It will clear you up pronto and its cheap.
There is a guy at the gym, all he wears is tank tops, and he has terrible acne.......if you smacked him on the back your hand would get wet.....
Well your 18 first of all your test I's high naturally and u could **** up your endocrine system. Acne I's last of your worries. If you don't have natural foundation u won't maintain that gain u still got 5 yrs of good clean gaining ahead of u. Seems u took the lazy way
Well,I found soap can help!
I am sorry I missed this. Thank God I did not give cycle advice. Listen to everyone and get off this stuff before you ruin yourself.Quote:

I would advise accutane now but since you clearly can't run aas on your own intelligence then accutane is out of the question unless under supervision of a professional
You're like the Shakespeare of aas storiesQuote:

I was very reluctant to do accutane. It can cause chrohn's desease and irritable bowel desease. Since doing accutane I have suffered some side effects but I can't tell you they are due to accutane. I have no idea. I looked up the symptoms and any number of things could cause them from bad diet to cancer to anal fissures to taking a shit too hard. I had blood in my stool for almost a month and when I would fart they would be long and frequent like a 2-3 second long fart. I started adding fiber to my diet with a gummy vitamin and more vegetables. I immediately noticed an improvement. I have an unopened bottle of accutane sitting around and am planning to use it at a low dose until it is used up so my symptoms did not scare me away. My arms in particular can get very nasty because I pick at the acne. The acne isn't even that bad its really me picking at it makes it many times worse.
My experience was almost exactly like cherrydrpepper. Tried every topical treatment you can think of, nothing. Got accutane and no acne in 6 weeks.
the 10% panoxyl bar is a great product.. but it all depends on how your body reacts to it. accutane is a very powerful and dangerous choice, just google accutane and suicide.
double post
Oh please thats complete b.s. in fairness, dont add to the whole accutane is dangerous thing, its been used by hundreads of thousands if not more than that, of people and guess what? they aliveQuote:

i guess because i have seen it first hand, lost a friend. it doesnt happen to everyone, but it doesnt mean it cant happen.. i was more trying to point him in a more simplistic approach rather than suggest him get a strong prescription medication.
