acne question

mtb1683 · 08-19-2007, 11:54 AM

i finished a 14 week cycle of test(600) and deca(400) in may and a few weeks after my last shot i started to get some acne on my back and shoulders that i never had in my life. they aren't like white heads they just look like red lumps and if you squeeze them they hurt like hell and barely anything comes out of them. is this common and does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle it

Have your girl wash your back with rubbing alcohol using a cotten ball. That helps to dry your back out. Also look into vitamin B6 that helps dry you out as well

mtb1683 · 08-19-2007, 01:18 PM

thanks guys i have been using the rubbing alcohol but i will try the b6

get neutrogena body wash w 2% salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide washes help too, buy some Vitamin B5 - Pantothenic acid, drink alot of water and go tanning, your bacne will be put in check

that **** is bad man, u might be ****ed.

and leave it alone, do not squeeze... it is called cystic acne. it will leave ur back permanently scared, believe me, i was on accutane in highschool. i strongly suggest you go on accutane and tetracycline.

Glad this threads here.
My girl waxed by back.
Holy ****-now I have horrid acne...
Well...it wasn't bad after she did it-then we fcuked and she rubbed her hands all over my sweaty back e.t.c....not a good combination.
So now its all fcuked up badly.

I'll have to start tanning is the best solution for me I would guess...

horrible advice...tetracycline affects protein synthesis and all the protein u are taking in will not be building muscle...do some research on it...you will find a better explanation but i know that for a fact

accutane is very expensive and some insurances do not cover it and it is bad on the liver...so most dermatologists require u to have monthly blood work done when on it

it is not horrible advice you little dip****. maybe you dont understand, my back is permanently scared because of the **** that the OP is talking about. it is bad enough that i used to be uncomfortable to take my shirt off, it is bad enough that i had to take accutane, bad enough that i went the lazer clinic to get skin resurfacing. Mine was nothing steroid related, just highschool BS.

plus if this guy is trying to squeeze it, it is just going to spread it and make it worse. so you make the call *******, accutane and tetracycline or ugly permanently scared skin.

if some muscle is more important to you then that is your priority, but i would rather not be scared.

listen u should watch it with the language pal. im just giving him the facts. i cant imagine who has scars from acne on their back of all places. i had cystic acne too my friend on my face and i NEVER had to take accutane. Like i said most dermatologists will try other things before going to accutane. It is verryyyy expensive and requires blood work every month and there are manyyy side effects one of which is extremely chapped lips. Most will say oh chapped lips, ill just take a lip moisturizer but its more like applying a lip moisturizer twice every 15 minutes. I did the research.

there are many other things u can do before tetracycline and accutane bud. vitamin b5, benzoyl peroxide, sacalycic acid, everything!! millions of things...

And you do not get scars from acne. What you get them from is popping the cystic acne.

I am interested in seeing pics though of your embaressing acne that limits you from taking your shirt off tough guy.

aslan · 08-25-2007, 01:06 AM

whoa boys settle down

just go tanning and get in a lot of fish oil. i found b5 does jack **** for me, but tanning and some anti-inflamm always does the trick.

yes, but they are ineffective in curing cystic acne.

"According to dermatologists, cystic acne is the most serious form of acne and those who have it require an immediate treatment from medical experts."

not true, maybe you should do some research before you run your mouth.

"While all the causes of cystic acne are not fully understood, we do know that cystic acne cysts look like a closed sac and inside them is a tissue with a semisolid substance and fluid with a gaseous appearance. These cysts may appear on any part of the body and come in different sizes, normally they range up to about five millimeters.

These cysts can form a scar and may even develop into severe problems. They may also cause you some slight pain the moment they burst, which will then later result into deep scarring."

Good advice...rep'd! The tanning bed is one of the best things for it. Make sure you use lotion on it, dont be a cockgobbler and tan with no lotion! That is one of the major benefits to dry out acne. Go swimming! Chlorine will dry that acne right up!!!

coronis5 · 08-25-2007, 07:49 AM

Vitamin B5 and Tanning worked for my cystic acne. Also Try washing the infected area with the Original Classic Clean Head and shoulders. Dries out acne really good. It sounds stupid but it worked for me and a couple other people I know.

paul_wall · 08-27-2007, 12:39 PM

Id say try some OTC products for a while and see if there is any improvement. tanning is nice, but its more of a bandaid than anything. Ive been on accutane for 5 months a few years ago. Not good to take while training, not good to take while doing anything. It was horrible but gave good results.
