: : : : : : hey guys-- : : : : my friend wants to know if he can go to the tanning booth to get rid of the : : : : acne caused by test propionate? will it have any adverse side effects? thanks for the : : : : info!carpei diem to all!lateron-- : : : : phoneman : : : Bar none, the best treatment for acne is isotretinoin--ie Accutane. Most doctors these : : : days will prescribe it even for mild cases of acne. I know many people who have used it : : : and they don't hardly even have to wash their face or hair because they hardly produce : : : any oil. Believe me, this is silver bullet drug--it will even take years off of your skin! : : : Keep up the fight : : : Unique : : Are you guys stupid or something?! : : Do you need a goddamn drug to cure everything? Accutane is for severe cystic acne that has been developing for years. It's a powerful drug that works very well, but it also makes your acne a hell of a lot worse in the early phases. : : Acne caused by anabolic steroids is almost always a temporary problem. Give it a little time, and it should fade on its own. If it doesn't, then "your friend" probably had a preexisting acne problem to begin with. : Believe me, isotretinoin is not terrible advice. I could care less what a "drug" is indicated for. The real question is what is the pharmacology behind the drug. In the case : of isotretinoin is works very much like very high doses of Vitamin A. The difference is that Vitamin A is stored in the body and becomes toxic over time. Researchers developed several synthetic retinoids which : did the same thing but were not toxic. I have seen nothing but positive results from isotretinoin--and no the acne DOES NOT GET MUCH WORSE IN THE BEGINNING OF TREATMENT! As far as the : tanning, you might see a slight improvement as UV rays tend to dry the skin. I would rather use the aforementioned product though or a simple benzoyl peroxide lotion or try ketoconazole (which I have no : experience with but hear that it works), or finasteride (proscar). Finasteride will help but let me warn you that you must have good vasularity to use this drug. Androgens promote vascular health (why women : have 4 times the incidence of varicose veins) and Proscar significantly reduces the amount of androgens in the systme : Keep up the fight : Unique
