Acne

[gha11]

I broke out real bad on my back, face and arms. I went to the dermo and he gave me oral antibiotics and gel to put on it. Any suggestions in the future how to be proactive so I will not get breakouts on cycle and after?

Sometimes this is just one of them sides that is unavoidable.

Stick with what your dermo has prescribed you and if all options fail, a treatment of accutane may be in the works, but remember that this should only be a last resort. If you do run accutane, it is known to keep an individual clear for years after the treatment and sometimes indefinitely.

I ran a doctor prescribed accutane treatment several years ago and remained acne-free for several years after treatemnt. So yes, you could say that is a good thing. It's just that accutane should be a last option in fighting acne because it is very harsh and sides can get real nasty.

For the threadstarter, be cautious if you go the accutane route. There are many warnings issued on this drug and its use by women.

I had real bad breakouts on my shoulders and chest about 18 months ago, My derm suggested laser treatments because I was unwilling to go the accutan route. All in all it was 4 treatments, something about the oil gland being attracted to heat which shrinks the oil gland permenataly. Thus producing less oil and breakouts. hope that helps

If I run another cycle am I going to break out even more? I am really worried I will be fighting acne now for the rest of my life! I didn't even have one pimple before I ran my cycle so I am a little upset!

What did you run?

When your hormone system gets stabil breakeouts usally dimminish. In the mean time you could do tanning, it might not help, but it will mask the acne somewhat an make it less noticebal.

I find that GH clears my skin really well...

Antibiotics may get rid of some of your acne, but they'll be doing a lot of damage in your gut. I suggest not taking any antibiotics at all, unless you are going to die if you don't.
