another back acne thread, please be nice, i beg of you (pics)

[druken bastard]

ok lets get the obvious out of the way, yes i know its disgusting, and yes i know any girl i meet will find it disgusting, my self esteem is down to almost zero. im strongly considering giving up bodybuilding. before you say take accutane, you should know that my liver is not very stable. but i've done everything in my power to fix it, i cut out whey protein, milk, fat. i cut my protein intake drink tons of water. im really out of options, now that i look at these pictures, im starting to regret my bodybuilding lifestyle, and if i had my time back i would not have done it. is there any advice you can give to this tortured soul?

[DaTruth1]

shower?

[druken bastard]

i do it everyday sometimes twice

[DaTruth1]

J/k, i was jus bustin your balls in that last post. Have you tried applying a topical cream like 5-10% Benzamycin? It is a chemical that acts upon the acne cells itself, not skin tissue in general. I found that it worked for acne on liek neck, legs, or wherever.

get some vitamin b5 bro, its not bad at all.. ive had way worse backne then that in the past, get some vitamin b5 -- wash it regularly, get your girl to put somesort of antiseptic cream over it(some just use soap, dishwashing liquid) I use detoll.. just drys them out, its not bad.. I wouldnt worry too much despite the **** you'll probly get on here, its curable. Vitamin b5 is cheap on bb.com, made by NOW i think.. like $10 for 250 caps, start with around 3g a day(6 caps) .. see how that goes, I noticed results quick. within a weak they driedout

[Murraaaaay]

Omega 3,6,9 oils every day. 8 ounces of water at least.

Good advice, also try washing it with some peroxide.

Edit: And Apple cider vinger will do wonders.

It actually does! I've been drinking it and applying it to my face and my acne is finally cured. No placebo either, I completely doubted its effectiveness.

[Usaywhat]

hey i got sumtin that rlly helps, one swim ina pool w/ the chlorine, dries up skin and helps emove, also heres a product called Dermalogica, get the bar of soap one for yer back then get axe bodywash snake peel helps remove dead skin to avoid them backne

[Pliffy]

Damn man, even though i dont have a problem with acne i definately feel your pain. Its almost out of your hands it seems like when you have it though. Have you seen a dermatologist or anything? Maybe your allergic to something you come into contact daily or the dishwasher soap you wash your shirts and stuff with. My friend had it real bad, maybe a little worse than you and he had a hell of a time keepin it under control too.

Your freakin swole though lol; at least you can say that much. i wish i were swole...

[tech99]

[kvkx111]

Both

[weakguy]

nice V

[newz-]

you need alot of B5, thats why it did nothing.. it works on everyone, just some at higher dosages. get the 500mg caps, start at 3g. Some in the steroid forum use 6g a day, it does work.

[user654415165]

They can do site injections of antibiotics if you go to a dermatologist. Though if it was self induced with gear I have no idea how those things will mix together.

never touched a steroid in my life, i don't even touch supplements now

[teenage_guru]

man... you are huge, probably have test through the roof (the sheer size of your back, and the fact its pretty hairy) Dont worry about it. A girl aint gonna give a ****, how many times does she look at your naked back anyway??

Your huge mate... its comes with the territory.

[JasonWojo]

1. Change your bedding very frequently. At least every few days. Alternatively you can sleep in a clean T shirt every day. You can change your pillowcase every day if you have to.

2. Shower 2x a day

3. Use some acne bodywash (CVS has a cheap imitation brand) on a back scrubber in the shower.

4. Try something like Proactiv

Hope this helps!

[SkinnyIrish]

doxycycline. it's a perscription. it targets the bacteria that causes backne

[user654415165]

Well then like I said talk to a dermatologist. If you are a good candidate there are lots of different treatment options(I tried them all when I was younger until I got to accutane).

[kranked]

Cut the drama and go see a facking dermatologist, skin conditions are ALWAYS treatable.

[1quick1]

Yea man don't quite bodybuilding. That will just make your self esteem worse.

Tanning helps me big time for bacne. I also have one of those shower brushes for my back and it helps.

Wash your sheets and comforter at least once a week. It sucks washing that **** but it helps.

Some of yours look cistic so I would talk to your doc about getting an anti biotic if possible.

Also like someone mentioned get one of those benzoyl peroxide bars of soap and use it on your back and use benzoyl peroxide cream on your back.

Remember the acne you're seeing now started building up a long time ago so it takes a while to consistently clear up.

[PumpingSteel]

look into vitamin b5
and drink apple cider vinegar 3 times a day
ORGANIC, UNFILLTERED.

My redness are GONE. not completely, they come back when i touch my face, but when i leave it alone redness are gone.

huge back btw

Always treatable in the sense the doctor can figure out the proper treatment?



Alot of the times the dermatologists cant figure out severe cases and they even go through a process of trial and error; which is what he is doing for himself right now.


No sense in being an ass;

****...

[athrun340]

A dermatologist is a doctor that specializes in the epidermis (skin).

[exothermic]

first off i will tell you this now its not a matter of how much you shower, i suffer from acne just like you my whole life... so i know what im talking about

amm first off how old are you?... cause if your still a teenager most likely when you get older you will grow out of it, if you love bodybuilding dont give it up for acne, accutane is actually the best thing for your type of acne since you probably have it around your body, see if you can get laser treatment for your back and wherever else you have acne, they have anti-biotics, they have alot of stuff for acne not just accutane altho accutane is the best, go to the dermatologist and you will get results once you find the right product to use taking much advice from people on a forum about what to use exactly can do more harm than good
