breaking out

**gotskei** · 11-13-2003, 07:25 PM

i am going on my 5th week of 500mg of test and 600mg of eq. I have just reciently started breaking out. I take two showers a day and constantly clean my self. Is there anything else I can do? I have a feeling it is the eq because i had a problem with it last year. If it gets worst im going to drop the test to 250mg and totally drop the eq for the last 2 weeks of my cycle and then come off totally.

Try tanning

Dont take ACCUTANE, damnit, that shit is hard on you. Obviously the increase in Testosterone is the cause and the heaters will go away when ur off, bare with it, get some good cleansers that the girls use wash with warm water first then the cleaner, change ur pillow case often, dont leave hair stuff in ur hair before bed, dont touch your face, etc.. Accutane is for serious/bad acne.

People have to stop poping pills for side effects of other drugs, you can't be taking juice and taking other shit to take care of the side effects of the first drug, etc.

I was on accutane in Jr high I think, and i swear it permently made my skin drier around my mouth and my lips get chaped sometimes now. Stay away from it if possible.

peace

I have to agree accutane is extreme. I have been breaking out like a bitch as well. I have started using safegaurd soap, it is antibacterial with not alot of oils and scents. After I towel off I just use otc oxy 10 and put it on like lotion, real thin layer all over my upper body. I do like 3 days on 1 day off so my skin won't fall off

I would not quit my cycle for it, this game requires sacrifices.SG1

I've seen lots of acne myself but its different from what I had as a kid... not as pussy, the zits are like much smaller and seem to pop on their own without my doing anything so I end up with like real small scabs all over my back, arms, neck, etc which are areas I never had acne problems with before, virtually nothing on my face. The anabolic acne seems to come and go. No zits last week, lots this week, seems to be going away again for next week... dont really find it being all that annoying or that much of a problem.

Don't take accutane unless you are being monitored by a doctor. It is serious stuff.

**gotskei** · 11-14-2003, 05:25 PM

ture thanks guys

**legend** · 11-14-2003, 09:15 PM

stay away from accutane. worse then the gear and the zits. definatly try tanning. thats what i do and it helps alot. also get an anti bacterial soap. was the areas with that. it also works. if you can get to a dermotologist, get an Rx for some benzaclin(spelling) it is a prescription cream for acne, and it works great and it will not fuck you up like accutane.

**gotskei** · 11-16-2003, 01:35 PM

thats funny you mentioned (benzalin) because i have some in my med cabinet

**UltimateFighter** · 11-16-2003, 03:38 PM

see I totally disagree. I was on accutane for 5 months while on an injectable cycle and had no probs. Blood test monthly. Accutane is a miracle drug imo

**2timer** · 11-16-2003, 04:48 PM

salic acid soap and benzoyl peroxide and you are fine. 5 bucks in the stores.

I did a very heavy cycle for 16 weeks this summer which included EQ.
I have a history of acne but I kept it under control this cycle with differen creme and tanning, salon and outdoors. My problem came postcycle.
I broke out bad on my back and chest and I/m 39. My hormones became way out of wack which has contributed to my problem. I have been on accutane
for 2weeks under a doctors care. I have used accutane 1 time, 2 years ago
and it was great. No sides at all other than dry lips. Anyway its winter time so don't worry, you have plenty of time before the shirt comes off for summer.
Good Luck
