2 questions on B5 for Acne

The acne is getting out of control. It has to go away. No use getting built and not being able to go without a shirt or even a tanktop. So, will the B5 help while "on"? And does the acne get worse when the B5 is first started?

I've been taking 20 500mg. caps for 4 days and the acne has gotten waaay worse. I now have zits on my face.

I take 3 showers a day. I use alcohol to wipe after every shower. But the zits keep coming.

Yes I'm prone too. I've had at least one or two zits all the time since my teen years but now I have more acne than when I was 17. I'm 33 now.

What else can be done to get rid of them while "on"? Tanning? I'm already tan.
 
bro I am also prone to acne, had to go on accutane a few years back to clear it up. I have been using topical azelaic acid on my face to control breakouts and so far so good.

it inhibits the dht in the skin and will basically prevent acne
 
I've had to take 40 500mg pills of b5 to get the acne to start clearing up, after a week of 20g a day it starts to clear up then I go down to 5g a day maintance till end of pct.
 
Shit 40 pills? That would a bottle every 4 days.

Did it get worse when the B5 was first started?

I guess I'm gonna hafta find a dermatoligist that my insurance will cover. Should I be totally honest with them? I don't feel like hearing "Want to get rid of the acne? Quit Juicing you fool!". :(

Bro of course not you gotta lie. If you want to avoid a doc you can use tertracycline..it works really well and it is READILY available online for cheap. You can use sup1's search emgine to find a pharm or use medsmex.com
 
hey bro, what are you on and how many mg per week. Do not tell the Doc
you are on....that will come back to haunt you (insurance wise, they may
drop you)

fu** the b5, get to the dermy.
 
Quit the B-5 crap and get Bactrim or Dicloxacillin. Been on Bactrim for almost 3 years now and it still works 2nd only to Accutane.

It did get worse for two or three days. Don't metion juice to your doc, you could try an antibiotic.

Bactrim DS (double-strength) 1 pill 2x a day

or

Dicloxacillin 500mg 2x per day

Both work great. And Bactrim is very cheap. alinshop.org has it at a very low price.
 
**UPDATE**

Well today after 4 days of taking the B5 my skin has a definate dried feeling. I usually wake up greasy as a pig. But this morning I felt completely un greasy and the acne seems to look smaller, less noticable, and a lil flakey maybe.

I'm still gonna look into the other options but I can now feel something positive against the acne at least. :)

b-5 is working for me
i take 4/500mg 4 times a day (8grams) everyday
i think sunshine helps too. no shirt ever when outside. even walking to the car if im in a tee.
plus if your near the ocean, saltwater works wonders in my case. good luck

Just a question bro, do you know what the USRDA of B-5 is? 5 to 10mg/day for males. You are taking what 800x that much! I'm surprised you haven't mentioned getting the runs at that dose. High doses can cause diarrhea in many people.

Look man you use B5 like this for acne:

8g-10g ED until clear then 2g ed as maint. dose.

10g ED for 1 1/2 months didn't do anything but give me the runs.
 
lol I injest sooooo much protein I shit boulders. I could stand to soften it up anyway. lololol It'd save me alot of time and pain.
