    Are you running an AI? I definitely suffer from this if I don't.

    i suffer with acne on my back when not on a cycle i got so antibiotics from my doc called erythromycin 500mg X2 aday they seem to help but take awhile to get into your system

    are you on a A.I i found that when i was on a cycle ans used adex {for gyno} but it seemed to help with the acne just had oily skin
    do a search for ESTROGEN-RELATED ACNE

    i used the adex to lower estrogen for gyno and found it reduced my acne

    All else fails. Accutane.

    Your in a bb show? Or just going to one and don't know what ai is? Either way I find doing more injections really lessens the load on your body by having no up and downs in test it's not necessary but for myself it definitely keeps sides to a minimum or none at all. Even long esters I will split into two shots per week

    I was fortunate enough to see one of the top dermatologist on the east coast years ago. He said that accutane is simply modified and concentrated vitamin A. It's not "harsh" on the system as some would have you believe. It also gets a bad rap for depression and mood issues... go figure people who have severe acne experience depression!

    Accutane is recommended for chronic acne. It can stop acne permanently. I ran a 4 month protocol to deal with acne that was unresponsive to any rx topical or antibiotics. After the treatment I only got 4-5 pimples a year.

    it dosnt, i have been on accutane last few months and this is at least my 4th or 5th running it, 10-20mg ed on cycle is all you need for acne prevention, but this dosnt replace the need for an a.i as this my also be the problem

    for me an a.i. makes no difference, im just prone to acne,

    and guess what? i ran it, still running it and im still alive, dont believe the b.s., be sensible with it and its fine

    people abuse their bodys with copious amounts of recs and rx drugs for 20+ years and live, now i dont understand why some say accutane is so dangerous when you take this into account

    Have you considered running a cycle of accutane? Rather than 10-20mg through out your cycle, you would run 40-80 mgs ED for 3 months and then never again. This protocol typically results in permanent reduction in the size of oil glands .

    yes i have ran it at 60mg and was clear until next cycle, exogenous testosterone seems to stimulate my sebaceous gland, a derma hasnt confiirmed this as I havnt seen one in a few years but it makes sense to me since exogenous testosterone directly stimulates your subaceous gland

    I had pretty bad acne problems through every cycle until I started using a dry sauna after every workout. Incorporated some otc acne lotion, and it cleared me up about 90%.
