    To all (b)(sh)acne suffers...

    SUFFERERS THAT IS...

    First I want to apologize for not empathizing, due largely to not realizing the POSSIBLE magnitude of your suffering. That said, a newbie recently joined my gym, probably to get away from his because of his condition which is horrific. Though his tank top reveals some of it during is continual (unpolished) posing between sets, for which he is often the object of ridicule, but yesterday I saw him in the locker room with no shirt on. What a site! It was as if every Harvester Ant in Gainesville decided to celebrate the Gators championship on his back. Though he doesn’t speak to anyone, which I admire as I’m standoffish myself (only way to get a good workout), I feel compelled as TEST fraternity member to offer him some assistance. I haven’t yet, but such a site certainly negates the, at present, marginal development this guy possesses.

    Again, I apologize. SOME GUYS SACRAFICE A GREAT DEAL!

    Acne is certainly a very big problem for some people. It is really hard for some people (especially teenagers) to be social or accept themselves or be happy because they have acne. I truly came to this realization when I read a newspaper artice when I was in highschool about another highschool area who hung himself in his basement (for his parents to later find him) because he was constantly teased/tortured because of his acne. I would say it is one of thee if not thee hardest parts of being a teenager because other people are so rude.

    When I cycled Test, D-bol, And Deca I got the worst cystic acne I have ever scene on my chest, shoulders, and back. It cleared up very fast after I got off cycle. Boy, that is some embarrasing sh-t. I might take accutane while on my next cycle. I love the gains gear and diet provide me. That is the one side effect that is the most troublesome.

    So, acne will occur regardless of age. It's got me wondering, when I was young and pumping iron less AS i would get acne, more so when i wasn't lifting. So now at 45 I haven't seen a frickin pimple in years, I'm ready to juice but want to be prepared for the dreaded acne.....can't handle that.

    Question is; does acne have any discrimination when it come to age?

    No, Test induced acne is not an ageist. That said, the mere fact that you had acne as a youth, or didn’t for that matter, in no way determines your propensity for Test inducted acne. Think of it like stock returns…past results though useful indicators, are no guarantee of future success. Different people get different side effects, and the truly fortunate ones, experience minor to none at all.

    I do not believe so. My theory is this; if you suffered from acne as a kid, I believe that you will probably be afflicted with it when you screw with your body's endocrine system. I am 29 yrs old. I have not had a pimple in over 11 yrs. But when I was a teenager I had to be put on accutane for cystic acne on my chest and back( thank god I never had it on my face). No pimples for over 11 yrs, do a cycle and bam, I break out like a schoolboy. In summary, I believe that if you had it as a kid you will most likely experience it again when you juice.

    I respectfully disagree, such a theory though quite rational, has not been borne out by the evidence. Conversely, my prior post is neither theoretical nor empirical, but factual. Though you produce the most natty Test of your life as a teen, this amount is both greatly superceded and synthetically provided by cycling. Your body has never experienced anything like this before, which is also why an all Test first cycle is so readily recommended.

    Hung himself over pimples, thats truely pathetic and weak minded at best if I've ever seen it.

    If your major problem is only acne your a lucky individual.

    Children can be so cruel, and so shortsighted. A couple years down the road, he would have been laughing about it with his hot coed, as a university freshman.

    Funny, but doubtful mask,

    If he was insecure about his acne, he’d likely not be secure enough in his masculinity to don a pink shirt. Such problems are often categorical.

    No, but my undergraduate studies were in Psy, and I especially enjoyed Motivation & Emotion and Personality Inventories.

    I am lucky enough never to have sufferd from acne, but many of the BB's i know have had some bad outbreaks, we have tried various things to help them but ive come to the conclusion that if your prone to it theres nothing you can do, various products do help the condition but ive never seen anything what has totaly stopped it, i would be intrested to hear of anyone what has totaly stopped the condition while on AAS?

    No age will keep you from getting acne. Teens tend to get it more but I think that is because of the hormonal imbalance same as use on cycle or PCT since out blood levels are FU'd

    anyway I am 38 and I was clear through my whole cycle pretty much a few popped up but went away in less than a few days.. I started PCT and about a week later BAM!! My back is covered.. I have been using B5 5gms ed, Nizoral shampoo 2 times per day. It worked great for a while but now I am almost 2 months past PCT and my back is worse than ever.

    What is bad is I was in the gym the other day and some dude same my tattoo where it comes across my neck and he wanted to see the whole thing.. I lifted my shirt not thinking about it so he could see it (the tattoo covers my back) and then it hit me gross!! I pulled my shirt down real quick..


    anyway kids and adults all suffer.. I wear long sleeve shirts to the gym now just to keep it covered. I have an appointment with my dermatologist in 2 weeks to get some relief.. I do not want accutane.. anyone else know what I should ask for?

    Thanks

    I've had shocking trouble with acne and it continues whether on cycle or not. Nothing gets rid of it and they can bleed through clothes too, mega embarasing. I work on the basis that being well built counteracts the appearance of acne.

    Better to be an acne covered hulk than a skinny freak with supersoft skin!

    Yea but you got to look deeper into his problem. Acne may have been the intial problem, but it also caused him to have low self-asteem, no friends, anti-social, no female interaction etc...
    Not saying that he had a reason to hang himself, but we should be more sensative to what he was going through.
    People have moments of weakness, his just happend to have no return....

    It seems like acne has been a hot topic here latley.....
    As you know by reading my post, i went through the same shit durring my last couple cycles. Now on Accutane and shit is getting better, but still very nervous about going back on cycle and everything coming back. It even hit my face up a little bit this last cycle, which is what finally drove me to the derm.

    Does anybody have any experience with post accutane treatment cycles?

    No they dont, and no its not. That is what the salesperson told you. They get 5% extra commision for selling any pink article of clothing to males. They make fun of you after you leave the store.
