I've been on enan/dbol/primo and I take B-5 powder. It seems to work well for me, but it all depends on the person. | ||

I have the same problem. Here is what you do - got to the health food store and buy some pantothenic acid (vitamin b-5) in the biggest dosage tabs you can find. Take 10 grams of this every day, thats's alot of pills, I have the 500mg ones so I take 20 per day. Go to the pharmacy and ask for a body wash called SalAc, use this in the shower twice a day. I usually have my wife scrub my back with it right after a workout as well. Do this and your acne will clear up faster than you will beleive. ------------------ | ||

I get it bad too. Unfortunately it usually gets worse when you stop the test the hormonal change is what does it. Make sure to get some clomid to try and keep this to a minimum, but it won't be perfect trust me. I am using now and seem to be alright, but I have gotten Accutane in case I ever get it bad again. I know it sucks man good luck. I also hear the RetinA cream works well. You can get these the same way you got your gear or a doc will prescribe. Good luck | ||

Well the best known non-perscription acne cure is : Pantothenic Acid or Vitamin B5 Take 10-15 grms a day for 2-3 weeks Then use a maintenance dose of 5 grms a day on Also you can use antibacterial soap, rub benzoyl peroxide cream on your back twice a day, and also goto the tanning bed.These are all great to stop acne. If you want to go the perscription route: Accutane - Dyanacin OR Diferin gel Goodluck bro! ------------------ | ||

Antibacterial soap and clearasil helped for me. I have never take Accutane but researched it. I decided not to try it due to the side effects. it is a very powerful drug so check it out thoroughly if you are considering it. A buddy in high school took it and it did help his acne, but it dried out his skin and lips beyond belief. Also, when you start it, it brings all the acne to the surface of your skin, so the acne actually gets worse before it gets better. | ||

I tried everything! You wanna solve it, get accutane. For months i've been using creams, washes etc, little improvement. Only 6 days on Accutane and I'm almost clear. I say one more week will do it! Its amazing. | ||

LOL - man, .,......... some of you guys need to do research. First off, Accutane is NOT like "do it while you break out" drug. Uou take accutane for months. MONTHS. Its a major deal - I did a long write up weeks ago about it. Look for my handle and the word accutane in a search. You take it for months for a "life-long) cure. In reality, it works for several years thouugh. Its not a "take it for a few weeks" thing. And I would NOT do it while on gear - just my advice. It places its own stresses on your system. Besides that: Vitamin B-5 or Pantothenic Acid - 10G (thats right Grams, you CAN get 1G pills) per day for maybe 1-2 weeks, dropping to 5 grams for maintenance. Zinc - helps also. Anti-Bacterial Soap - everywhere you break out. Washing - this is imprtant - dont scrub-scrub-scrub like a madman. That will make it WORSE. Scrub to clean off the skin well. If you srub TOO much (especially on more senaitve skin like your face) you will create a WORSE condition, becuase your body will attempt to "fix" the damage (from ripping layers of skin off) by making MORE oil. GET A BACK BRUSH - Go buy one of those brushes that allow you to be able to scrub your own back. Soap it up and scrub away. Salicylic Acid Creams/Gels/etc - Murad sells these. They work quite well. Benz. Peroxide Creams - Frankly I would not get 10% (its overkill and make it worse when applied everywhere). I thin its best to scrub in the morning, and maybe apply some of the salycilic (sp?) acid gel or cream on your face for the day., Then wash again (wash, dont scrub the living hell out, you SCRUBBED in the AM, now just WASH)) again in the early evening (all infected areas) with the anti-bact soap, and use the Benz Peroxide stuff for the evening. Drink lots of water. So, B-5, zinc, scrub in the morn with anti-bac soap, applu salicylic acid stuff. wash (lighter) in early evening with the anti-bac soap, and use benz perox stuff. Thats should all do wonders. The reason I stress to not over-scrub is that, as guys, we tend to have a ?more is better" attutude. In this case - its not. Scrub TOO hard - and you make it worse. | ||

I GET ACNE BAD ON MY CHEST AND BACK. TRY TAKING SOME PANTHOENIC ACID(B-5), WASH WITH ANTI-BACTERIAL SOAP 2-3 TIMES A DAY, TRY THE TANNING BED 3-4 TIMES A WEEK AND TRY TO GET IN THE STEAM ROOM 1-2 TIMES A DAY, ALSO TAKING 50-100MG/ED OF ZINC HELPS AS WELL. HOPE THIS HELPS, GOOD LUCK ON GETING RID OF THAT ACNE M18 ------------------ | ||

About a year and a half ago I got really bad acne all over while using d-bol. I got some Tetracycline (antibiotic) which didn't really help. I then bought a roll on liquid called Dalicen-T, I think you might need a prescription for it in the states, but that shit did the trick. I still have scars though, don't let it get that bad. You can also see a dermatologist and if its really bad they'll give you Acutane. | ||

Something that can help along with all of the above mentioned is RA Lotion. You can get it via the pharmacist, with no prescription. It was introduced to me in high school by a dermotologist. Its very cheap and will dry out your skin (also skin colored to help cover). Give it a shot along with the other suggestions. You can get a whopper bottle for about 10 bucks. | ||

accutane is the way to go-unfortuneatley it does cause a flare-up of the acne but this lasts for only a short while and then the results are amazing. ------------------ | ||

had same problem, this is a good solution. Nuetrogena body wash--scrub back and shoulders with sponge. Get nuetrogena cleansing pads and wipe you shoulders and back if you have someone to do it. And next get Differin gel (from doctor) and rub on acne areas before you go to bed |
