Does the acne stop?

**Pac Man** · 09-14-2008, 04:53 PM

I've never had acne growing up, I would get a zit maybe once every few months, nothing big.
I'm on 100mg cyp every week and I'm getting acne on my face, arms and chest. Not a whole lot, maybe 6 total but I don't like em

Do they stop coming after a while or do they need to be treated with something like accutane?

depends man, get some over the counter stuff some cream and clean the area with rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball

I'll give that a shot. They're weird acne monsters not the kind that pop but the ones that just make a red welt and linger around, laughing and taunting you at every corner.

try a vitamin E supplement or by a deep pore exfoliator... that should take care of the lumps you are getting.

I hope it does. I was told to get a tan.

I have a couple of those bastards too. I think getting some sun and showering twice a day has helped.

Salicylic Acid 1% solution and vitamin B-5 (Pantothenic Acid), 10 grams per day (spread out). IMO I'd stay away from rubbing alcohol.

O man I did salicylic acid today, didn't even realize it. Just found a bottle in my wifes cupboard that said 'acne and backhead remover' I applied it to my nose and on some pimples, took it off and nothing so I applied it again and about 3 hrs later all the skin on my nose fell off! ROFL. My nose is all pinkish now, like a chemical peel. I was wondering why it was burning so much :X

Yikes, what's the percentage of salicylic acid in your wife's bottle? You can get salicylic acid in a body/face cleaner and use as instructed or how your skin can handle it. Try the B-5, that worked well for me.
