I've never had an acne problem in my life, I started doing Test-E and I am broke out constantly. If I shower 2 or 3x a day, use different kinds of acne pads, etc... It doesn't matter!
I'm 39yo, 6' tall, 210lbs. Can someone please help? Thanks
Acne is a hormonal issue and unfortunately there's not a hell of a lot you can do to get rid of it quickly. Benzyl peroxide with a good scrub brush usually helps. Some recommend Accutaine but it is highly toxic on your liver, if the Benzyl doesn't help then 20mg Accutaine daily definitely should but make sure to also take a good liver support supplement.
AG-Guys supply liquid a Accutaine that has some pretty bad sides for certain people, I've heard of faces peeling, serious lethargy and even insomnia. Try the Benzyl scrub first and if you need to use Accutaine because it doesn't help I'd be looking for pharmacy grade. In saying that I've also heard of people having no sides from AG but is it worth the risk? Only you can answer that I guess.
Accutane is a very strong drug and you need to weigh the sides vs. results
a lot of times you younger guys have acne problems cause your hormones are changing and steroids make the problem worse. you will grow out of it or atleast it will improve as you age. also try tanning/drying out the skin
Accutane works - there is absolutely no denying that. However, it is one of the worst compounds you can possibly take in terms of side effects.
I would recommend pursing other options first and only use accutane as a last resort.
Drying/tanning out the skin helps immensely.
Go to your doctor and ask him to prescribe you a topical acne cream. It'll work better then anything available over the counter and your insurance will cover it.
On top of that, make sure you are showering 3 times per day: upon waking, after workouts and before bed.
Baking soda is one of the best natural exfoliants you can use. Gently rub baking soda on your trouble areas when showering to remove layers of dead skin and help remove the acne.
Are you using an AI with your cycle? If you aren't, your problem is most likely estrogen related. You need to use an AI with your cycle to prevent testosterone from aromatizing into estrogen and keep estrogen in the low-normal range. Aromasin at 10mg EOD is a good dosage when on cycle. You can order aromasin from ag-guys.com.
Tanning and scrubbing is what works for me. I like to use an exfoliating soap on the bad areas. There is one that has crushed walnut shells in it and it works very well.
