Default Acne?

I wanted to start another topic about acne. I have been on 200mg Test. Cyp for about 5 weeks, last week I started getting huge amounts of acne on my chest area, and a small amount on my face. Is there anyway to help prevent this from happening? I know it comes with the territory of steroids but has anyone found a good way to prevent this? I have scubbed and scrubbed 2-3 times a day, used acne medicines, and it has started to go down, but I do not wish for this to happen a lot. I am just starting to get a great looking body to show off, i don't want to have to hide it because of acne. Thanks for any help.

Thanks

Im by far no expert but I think I read somewhere that the acne is sign of aromatizing? thus an inhibitor should be used such as Arimidex? correct me if im wrong.

Acne can be from the extra estrogen as Old Fart stated. However, I no longer get acne unless I go off my HRT for a month or so. I use to get it when on but it seems to have gone away over time. Maybe it takes a little while for your body to adapt to the increased Test from your HRT. I do believe that the extra estrogen can make things much worse. JMO

Thats exactly, It is cyst like acne, it doesn'y really have a head on it, some do get a small head but for the most part, red and swollen, but you can never push anything out, just looks worse. It is looking better but I have been tearing it up with acne meds, but it is still there. i will try some of these suggestions. I had read about this but it didn't happen to me untill now. Thanks billions guys!!!!!

accutane, it is fantastic for cystic acne, I am speaking from experience.

however it has heaps of other side effects, you need to know what they are before you take it.

Well guys,
I have used some over the counter acne scub, and prescription stuff my son hs, and I have gotten rid of the chest acne. I still have an oily face so I better not let my guard down and keep it clean or I will end up getting face acne too I believe. I do believe as long as I keep scrubing, I think I can keep this nasty looking crap away.
One thing else, I couldn't get any response on the Steroid section so I will post hear, you all are nicer!!!!! The doc added me on HCG, and Winstrol. The winny is so I can get the water weight down a bit, I gained 40lbs, but I look GOOD!!!!! , but I mentioned wanting to look more ripped and loose some of the water. Anyway, The HCG, I am suppose to shot eod 1ml, I read on the net that 1 e5d would be ok. Anyone experienced with this, and what does it do for me? I know it is suppose to keep my little Buddys between my legs working, and that was what the doc said. I wanted an anti estrigen but he gave me HCG, which I do need as I found out, but I only have 10 ml and I shot it eod so 20 days supply, is that OK to run this every so often to keep everything in check? Thanks everyone on this forum!!!!!

Are the side effects worth it to you? One of my girlfriends hated having to take the monthly pregnancy tests plus the skin peeling. She constantly had to keep chapstick on her lips and was always rubbing lotion on. Then she had to use major lube when she had sex since she was extremely dry. It was too much to deal with for her.

you gotta kill the oil glands if you want them to stop causing acne, so those are the side effects you WANT to have... dandruff, dry lips, cracked hurting lips can be taken care of with hourly chapstick, dry skin, etc... a bloody nose can happen... and depression... well think about it if you got acne you arent going to be happy to begin with... so... do it right and you only got to do it once... and if your super acne prone during cycles, stock up on low dose accutane... 10 mgs 3 x a week will take care of most anything if youve been on accutane before... start it about 2 weeks before cycle and finish after 4 weeks past pct..

as for women they make you jump through hoops for it bc some stupid chicks get preg when they shouldnt... a few ruin it for everyone else.... and dont mention the derms need to make money...so you got to go in every month get lab done and etc.................... its about money..plan and simple...

Yes. When I was 15 and face covered in cystic acne, it was worth it.

Acne Annihilator
I ordered some of this and have been using it for about a week now. I like it so far. I still have a few little bumps here and there, but they seem to either come to a head really quick or go away without getting that painful under the skin throbbing....

DIET IS THE KEY , KNOCK OUT ALL SIMPLE SUGARS . add hemp oil ,flax seedoil to your diet , maybe switch to eq .. the stronger the steroid the better chances of side affects , also lower the dose but at 250 a week thats low enough ..maybe run eq everyother week ..
the oils help keep the acne down , actually keeps your pores from getting clogged........look it up !!

Also i heard mixing it with bicarb soda cos bicarb soda soaks up oil and mosture.

But talcum powder has worked wonders for me.

Thanks for all the replys, I had it totally under control just by using acne cleansers from the store daily but I have again broke out in the fac a little and on my neck in the back area. This stuff is bad when it breaks out, It really never gets a head on it, so of course I start trying to pop it and it just makes it worse. What do you do when there is no head? I know this is a gross topic but damn, it is gross to see on myself at 39 years old when I have never had an acne problem. I do think though water was a key, I haven't been drinkingthe water I was, so I will go back to tons of water and I am also following the recomendations of many of you. The talcum powder thing, I use baby powder to shave with, you guys have to try that, put some baby powder on your face and use you electric razor (Only rotary electric), it shave so smooth, I might market this stuff as a male electric shaving powder!!!!
