Anyone with great cures for shoulder acne?

[toolman]

I ended a cycle of primo/var/test but am staying on low dose of test for hrt year round for the first time. I now have the worst shoulder/back acne I have ever had. I am aware of the ivory dish soap and accutane, etc. What else has anyone used successfully?

[Chookster]

try anti-bacterial dish soap like dawn...and a tanning bed.

I got bad back acne when my cycle ended and PCT started. I just bought some Nizoral shampoo and am using it like skin scrub. The ketoconazole is an anti-fungal agent, but also has some anti-androgen properties which should work at the skin follicle level without giivng you systemic absortion. Some people swear by it--that's why I'm trying it. Good luck.

Clinique Facial soap works well. They also make a anti-acne soap.

My wife uses Clinique facial soap I decided to use it when i saw it in the shower. With in a few days I say a big difference in my skin.

[Hackamaniac]

dawn soap will do wonders and nizoral shampoo is also good but a little more expensive

[gabriel595]

try isopropilic alcohol it will dry your skin but it works wonders, trust me.

Is that scrip or otc?

[BIGRTHABETTR]

I had to get some antibotics this time, nothing helped, sucs at 31 years old to have broken out shoulders.

That be Isopropyl alcohol in English. I've tried it and not sure yet of the results. How often did you apply. It does seem logical

im sure a dermatologist would recommend acne if your blood work checked out ok...cystic acne is WAYY different than regular acne...good luck getting any topical to cure cystic acne..try b5 @ 5-10 grams ed or accutane...i had cystic acne and the accutane cleared it right up..but im left with scars

[ShnouzedUp]

go tan bro.... it works, really.

[ToTheBuckeT21]

Okay i always say the same thing when one of these threads comes up... What i do is take a Tshirt spray the inside with antibac. lysol then put it on when i go to sleep.. and i'm completely clear in like 4 days.. I don't recomend this cause i don't know how lysol will be on ur skin, i just know it works for me... has anyone been daring/desperate enough to try this yet? or am i still the only one

[ToTheBuckeT21]

O yea and tanning... actually tanning probly works the best cause it totally covers up everything

I guess i shouldnt be 'scared' about going, but i know im going to have to tell him that i do steroids and i hate that confrontation that might occur...i do have insurance, so my girlfriends always telling me if i care about the acne i should just go, i just dont like to get into it w/ them ya know...and i guess i have to do research about it, but i dont know the affects of using accutane, and running cycles, but im sure there is info on this board... (sorry to hijack the thread) My face isnt bad, its really just my chest. I guess there is an embarrasment factor involved, but i guess there shouldnt be since they are proffesionals...::sigh::

but i guess it would make me more confident...I mean i know i have a 'good body'(not to sound gay), but i do hate taking my shirt off at times...sucks.

[universal-soldier]

nature's cure has a pill form that you chew and it is suppose to work for the whole body i just bought today so i will see how well it works it says it will clear any kind of acne you might have or your money back guarantee it only cost ten bucks

Spec-tro gel

HEY, my friend turned me on to this and it WORKS! Go to any healthfood store and buy Pantothenic Acid vitamins. I get the 500 mg per tab and will take about 10 per day for a few days and everything goes away! Then I usually just take a few until I end up quitting. Whenever they come back I take another 10 again for a few days. This really works! I had bad acne when I was younger and nothing worked. I even had a prescription for Retin-A, which sucked! Retin A decreases the cohisiveness of felicular epithilial cells with an increase turnover of micro-medo formations. Additionally tretinoin stimulates mitotic activity and causes extrusions in the comodones.

F*#K that! Just go get some Pantothenic acid and you will be surprised!

I use a 10" peroxide wash (oxy) and a 10% peroxide cream after I am finished washing.

[MeanMachine2000]

I've never tried it but I hear anti-persprint deoderant works well. Think about it, have you ever had a zit in your armpit

[gabriel595]

sorry for the bad english i live in south america maybe you can teach me some english and i'll teach you spanish...lol. i dont know why but it dries the skin and cleans it...maybe its a little harsh on the skin but it does work...at leaste for me.

NIZORAL BABBBBY!!!

Forget the acne soaps. Wash your back with Nizoral Shampoo (no, really). This is really weird, but that shampoo (the chemical in it is Ketoconazole) is a topical anti-androgen but it's effects are limited to the skin/scalp unless you take the pill form (or drink the shampoo). The results indicate that oral intake of itraconazole will result in therapeutic levels in the skin and these levels vary, depending on the region of skin tested. There are at least three routes of delivery of oral ketoconazole to the skin:

1. Passive uptake by keratinocytes in the basal layer

2. Excretion through the sweat glands

3. (The important one) A massive excretion through the sebaceous glands

Sebum levels compared with the plasma levels are very high, even with oral ingestion, which prompted researchers to simply create a shampoo from the base chemical, to prevent androgenic alopecia (balding). There is almost no effective plasma level to cause an anti-androgenic effect in your body when you topically apply it.

I figured out that it would prevent acne, when I had some acne on my forehead during my first cycle (8 years ago when I was 19y.o.). I had been using Nizoral to prevent hairloss...anyway, you always get some shampoo on the top of your forehead when you wash your hair, and I noticed only that area was free of acne...sooo... long story short, I started using it as a topical acne treatment and my steroid-induced acne cleared right up. I guess that was my first real theory having anything to do with anabolics or whatever. Then a few years ago, I actually looked for validation on my theory, and found it...this study examines the pill form, but the shampoo is the same active ingredient, and won't have a noticable systemic effect, but rather will have a localized one wherever you apply it (to your bacne in this case).

Int J Tissue React. 1988;10(2):111-3.

The effect of ketoconazole on sebum secretion in patients suffering from acne and seborrhoea.

De Pedrini P, Rapisarda R, Spano G.

Clinica Medica Generale e Terapia Medica Institute, La Sapienza, University of Rome, Italy.

Ketoconazole, an imidazolic antimycotic derivative, has proved to have an antiandrogenous effect, which may be observed to inhibit the adrenal and gonadal steroid synthesis. The authors wished to verify this effect of the drug in men and women suffering from acne and seborrhoea, conditions believed to indicate a heightened androgenous effect in the sebaceous gland. They aimed to do this by studying the cutaneous sebum, which is considered a reliable indirect indicator of androgenous activity. They found a statistically significant decrease in the rate of sebum production in all patients administered with a single daily oral dose of ketoconazole (200 mg). Moreover no untoward side-effects were reported. The anti-androgenous property of ketoconazole would therefore suggest that the drug could be proposed as a useful alternative in the treatment of acne and seborrhoea.

Yup, hooker recommended nizoral way back when and I've used it to fight acne ever since.

Electric sander....

[doittoit]

Electric sander, oh man, there are times when iv'e actually contemplated that lol....IMHO if it's real bad and cystic I would go straight to accutane, the other things these guys are recomending most likely will have little effect. I dicked around with stuff and it did nothing for me, I'm now starting accutane and keeping my fingers crossed.

[Grizzly420]

diottoit where did you get the accutane

[DIESELPWR]

its not hard to come by accutane but you cant take it while on cycle am i correct?
