[DCB83]

Ive been off for about 4 months now and I'm still breaking out on my back big time. Big painful ones.Im going nuts. How do stop this from happening?
I tried palmolive, didn't work.

[Dukkit]

man, you dont just try accutane... it's a serious drug with list of side effects longer that a toilet paper! steroids are like a vitamin C when you compare it with this stuff... educate yourself before you commit accutane!

[millionairemurph]

accutane is no joke, google "accutane side effects". It prob best that you see a derm. Thats what im doing, im in the same boat as you. ive tried nizoral, dawn dish soap, proactive, isopropyl alcohol, every soap and acne med over the counter .

Welcome to the darkside.

[tommik]

selsun blue shampoo.. this stuff is really good for inflamed acne.

[JSola]

i had tried every otc there was, and i was taking perscription stuff like salycilc acid washes and benzoyl peroxide, and pills and on and on, the ONLY thing i got real results with was ACCUTANE, i had zero scary side effects, i only got a little dry in the sinuses.

Retin A is a good script to get. It is a topical ointment!

If you don't just try it then what do you do with it! i went to my docs after a cycle cause i had bad case of acne she said to try accutane wrote out a script & it cleared all of it!of course there's sides theres sides to every medicine.

I got the same problem. It seems to have gone away a little, but I am still getting new ones. It seemed like it got worse after I came off the test then it was while I was on. I'm just a coupe weeks past PCT, so it hasn't been a real long time yet. I wonder what causes it. I would think my hormones would be back to normal by now.

I plan on doing test again at some point, so if anyone has ideas on acne prevention, that would be good to hear too.

The severe side effects of Accutane seem to severely exaggerated. I know of five people that have used Accutane including myself and have only experienced mild side effects from it like very dry skin, very dry lips, and thats about it. Only about 90% of people that take it get the mild side effects from it and the other 10% get the more severe or rare side effects.

I agree...accutane is some hard stuff for your body to handle.

You are fortunate that's all you experienced. I must be in the 10% that get the severe screwed up side effects. My face dried out so much that it literally started cracking in places. My bottom lip cracked so severely that it actually scarred. I experienced night vision problems and could barely see to drive when oncoming traffic would point their headlights towards me. Also, that stuff screwed around with my head....serious depression while on it.

I'm kinda sketched out about accutane after reading about it.
My girlfriend gets a kick out of poppin them in the shower(weird),
doesn't that create scars?

I agree.... side effects are usually exaggerated. Besides, the people that get severe side effects are taking like 80mg/day, which is WAY too much. A little goes a long way.

Try a derm and have him prescribe you an antibiotic, thats the only thing that worked with me, in fact i stopped taking every supplement. I took the antibiotic for a month and it helped a little but then the follwing month i stopped all supplements and stopped antiobiotics and finally cleared. I tried everything dude, tanning nizoral palmolive, alcohol, time is the only thing that helped. And dude i am not prone to acne, never had it who knows, my blood work was all screwed up so perhaps that was a prime factor.
And this is in the middle of summer, sucked for me dude, i was in cancun and f$%^&n embarrased to take my shirt off cause of my backacne. I took it off one day and i overhear this girl tell her bf, see what steroids do, f that, sux. Keep your back clean and free of any oil. I should post pics..

not true, it's been proven that higher doses over shorter period of time result with better chances for permanent cure... i ran it at 2mg/kg then in the middle of my course switched back to 1,5mg/kg with no serious side effects. i still think it is a serious drug and shouldn't be run without doctors supervision.

but for the cycle purpose i would go only for the maintenance dose which is around 100mg/week

[JSola]

when i took accutane, i did half doses for double the amount of time and everything came out just fine

I would go to dermatologist and get some antibiotic's, its an infection problem from inside your body, topical's aren't the solution.

What dosage were you prescribed?

[plzr8]

a combo of a good topical and antibiotic will rid you of your problem....see a derm

[torontodude]

Same setup here. Also pro active has wipes, I suggest bringing those to the gym with you and use it right after.

[wingman2468]

none of the home remedies or over the counter stuff listed above worked for me. I tried them all. Accutane worked great.

[sphincter]

I get doxycycline from my Dr. we tried minocycline first but it wasn't working but the doxycycline seems to be helping pretty well.
