[Choppers]

Why suffer? Goto the Doc, be honest and ask him to prescribe something. I had mild/moderate all over my chest, back and shoulders and it cleared up once he prescribed me something.

Either that or get some Accutane off the net. Should be easy in the US.

thanks for the help guys but will it go down once im off the juice?

It will more than likely get worse. Mine did not start to get bad until half way through my PCT.

I went to doc and got on a scrip of Tetracycline. It REALLY helped for the acne to subdue....although i was left with some scaring on my back I have to deal with because i did not get on it soon enough. Now I'm going to do some skin resurfacing or micro derm abrasion/skin peel sessions. It was mostly on my back and delts...a little on my neck. None on my face.

I have NEVER had acne before.....EVER....so before I would try it .....it helped me. I also got some medical grade foaming washing I use with a scrub brush. And a skin toner.....It was a kit from a skin clinic. Not really cheap.
I still get the occasional larger zits on my back.

I am ready to get some accutane.

[junkiescumbag]

it might even get worse. i would get on accutane asap

I'd try a cycle of Amoxicillin.

Just wondering why would you say this? How would this help ...

x2.. I know it can be used to treat skin infections, but I thought it was not for acne issues with the skin.

Because acne is essentially a bacterial infection in the sweat glands. Mild broad-spectrum antibiotics like Amoxicillin and Tetracycline can help clean up cystic acne in a few weeks. However, I haven't had to use them yet and have just begun my own research, so I would advise that anyone do their homework before playing with antibiotics.

Well it's interesting idea i guess but im confused i thought amoxicillin bacterial .. amoxicillin is like penacillin right??? and that's for std's and im not sure but i would think because it's a pill it passes through the liver ??? liver strain plus test may be a bad idea how ever im not possitive so some one please chime in.

Bad, bad idea to self-medicate with antibiotics...for many reasons. There are many treatments that the OP can try, but Accutane gives the best results for treatment of severe acne. Yes he can easily get it online without a script, but I would see a doc before using it because for it to do its best work he'd have to be using it over at least several months (usually 6) and it brings its own bag of possible side effects. Another thing...Accutane is hepatoxic, and so is the gear that he's using. Not a good idea to start using one until he stops using the other.

For the last time, test and Deca are NOT hepatotoxic! Where are you guys getting this info from???

For the last time YES IT IS it is just considered low with test the toxcity would not be high with test unless your doing well over a thousand mg a week, but it is hepatoxic. No one is sayibg your values won't come to normal when your done (most do) but it is hepatoxic less so then some thing like dbol but still there and i would think some one with well over 1,700 post would know this.

[Bonaparte]

I'm talking about measurable and consequential toxicity (stuff that matters in real life). Not something that just contributes to normal AST and ALT values, just like food and exercise.
Sure, it is processed by the liver, but it isn't doing any measurable damage, since it isn't resisting hepatic breakdown like a 17aa compound will. Hence the reason we never factor non-17aa injectables into the equation when looking at possible liver strain (like with this accutane or antibiotic issue).

[Swifto]

I'm a firm believer in attacking acne from both sides (inside and skin).

Have you used an AI?

Have you controlled prolactin? Is it out of range?

Skin products are things like Acne Annihilator, benzyl peroxifed, Nizroal shampoo, Retin-A.

Products taken orally are things like Accutane (Isotretinoin), Vit B5, Ant-biotics (Tetracylin family).

[Peace Missile]

Accutane wiil sort it out for sure....

[boyka]

I got acne in mid PCT. I am almost finishing PCT and kinda reduced them with taking
Doxycycline (Tetra antibiotic) , and applying Alcohol-Acetone mix on the affected areas...

[Ashop]

Doesn't acne at least sometimes correlate with female hormones like estrogen?

Yes. Estrogen and androgens can both cause/aggravate acne.

[Br0dy69]

Accutane works like a charm. I recommend hopping on as soon as possible, in some cases it does come back but usually you're good to go You should defintley see a doctor though, and then you get get it legit with bloodwork done every month.

I just started having this problem over the past month. I have been using the acne Annihilator, dish soap (cuts grease and oil) and tanning. Those things seem to be helping a bit, especially tanning because it's burning them out and hides the bright redness of the pimples. I just did a google search and found a bunch of info on cystic acne and thyroid issues...
