Scared of whats gonna happen

I know this might sound stupid. But i just finished my cycle, and I had some good gains. I am now on clomid, but i keep hearing how bad people are break out. This is day 5 and im doing good. But im n college, and really dont want to break out. I have never had zits or pimple problems in my life.

Right now im taking 4 showers a day.

Does anyone have any suggestions of stuff i can buy, in case i start breaking out.

man that's the stupidest thing i have ever heard.... kiddding... take vitamin b-5, and wash with an antibacterial soap and only take 1 or 2 showers a day because your skin will dry out.. oh and tan some... all of those can help.

Like saint said bro, limit the number of showers you take per day to one or two. I went through a phase where I was breaking out a bit for some odd reason and I decided to take showers whenever I could--often 4-5 times a day. Little did I know that it was drying my skin and making the problem much worse. I personally don't know about the clomid relation but would be interested to hear if others had that problem. I'm going to be taking clomid myself...

I really don't think that the acne people experience is from the clomid. My guess is that it due to hormonal changes associated with coming off aas. With that said, I once had a horrible break out after a cycle of yellow tops. Back then I didn't use clomid so I know it was not the source of my problem. Since then I have used clomid 4-5 times and have never experienced any more breakouts. (knock on wood) I was also prescribed accutane for a while so that may have something to do with me not breaking out anymore. Who Knows? Anyway, come off the gear, take the clomid, and if you happen to see early signs of a breakout get to a Dermatologist ASAP.

Well ill cut my showers down to 2-3 a day.

I use that dial liquid anti-bacteria soap. Maybe i can stop by the doc and get a prescription just n case.

Go tan 3-4 times/week. Dont over do the showers.

i've got really dry skin naturally and can tell you it sucks... If you head to a dermatologist they can give you some great soap and lotion to use! over the counter hydrocort. will also help a bit if you want to try it.
