How do I get rid of ACNE?

[arizona32]

I am currently on TRT for about 4 months now. Doc has me at 200 week which keeps me at 650 (guess I metabolize very fast, low SHBG). Estrogen is right in the middle of the range. Everything seems to be good at this dosage except acne on my arms, shoulders and back. The amount of acne has decreased as time goes on, but is still more than I would like to have (probably about 20-30 small, 10 large at any one time). Anyone else had this experience? Any luck getting rid of it? I've tried the 2 a day showers etc. Tanning isn't an option since skin cancer runs in the family. Thanks for any advice.

Have you tired dawn dish washing soap ? Us wrestlers use it to keep all the ring worm and staff infections off of us.

Has the same effect on the bacteria that causes acne.

I havnt tried the Dawn but sounds like a goer, I used a mild dose or Antibiotics and Rozex cream on a mild Acne and worked weel. I have Acne anhilator on hand for next time , apparently its the s h i t and if you are in the states its cheap.

I fought some moderate acne when my dosage was changed. Doc scripted some antibotics for a month. I want to say Doxyclene. Not only does it funciton as an antibotic but also has some effect on the free test levels.

I have also lately been trying injectable Bcomplex as it is also suppose to inhibit acne.

RIght now I have just a few spots here and there, but for me its not much more than I had before I started TRT. I've always fought with acne.

I have also been battling acne while on trt, it sucks because once the decision is made to have a better life with the trt, up pops, literally the acne. I started dawn dish soap two days ago and I also tan 2-3 days per week. My skin is clearer and man does it get dry after scrubbing with the dawn.

Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) between 5-10g's a day.

Salacylic acid shower wash......

benzoyl peroxide shower wash

benzoyl peroxide cream after shower/before bed/upon awakening

Thanks for the feedback. Heard from others the dawn dish soap works good. Does it dry out your skin? Do you use it as a body wash? How often?Use a scrubber/loufa?
Also heard good things about salycytic acid/ Neutrogena body wash
and
Nizoral-particularly if it is caused by DHT (which in my case may be, since I am very bald and have always had body acne, even before TRT)
Any comments on these???
