cycle acne question

Ok, here is the deal bros: I've done two cycles (newbie cycles) first one
250mg test enant. and 200mg deca a week for 8 weeks, hcg and clomid post.
2nd was 250 mg test enant and 100mg eq twice a week for 10 weeks, hcg and clomid post.
I am currently 6' @ 210# w/ 17% bf. Started at 170# and 12% bf. There are my stats, and am stocking up for my third cycle to start late March.
Been lifting since high school days off and on and consistent for the past two years.
Here is my question: what to do about the acne? It wasn't too bad in the past but it was there,mostly on back and shoulders none on the face..
Of course there are several options, ie. (not juicing, tanning, accutane,
astringents, washing w/ acne soaps twice a day, antibiotics.....etc....)

What will knock it out completely? I used w/ my past two cycles: washing w/ acne soaps twice a day and then got some 20mg ip accutane tabs. Only used one 20mg tab a day accutane, but still got the acne...was that enough, not enough ?
by the way been off cycle for two months and all acne / blemish have cleared up.
Any and all suggestions are welcome. what are your experiences ?

thanks in advance bros,

With acne bro it pretty much depends on your body. I for one am prone like shit to it. My back and shoulders break out bad and there is nothing I can do about it. Either I juice or I dont. I've tried a lot of shit but it just doesnt go away. And for you its going to be the same. You cant completely knock it out. Cause if there was a miracle drug to do that he or she :p would be one rich as person. Just take those that you listed and if they arent any good you can either quit or just live with it.
 
thanks patriot...that's what I was thinking, but just wanted some
feed back.
I'll deal w/ it, cause I'm not going to stop juicing.

Not to knock IP but I didn't get the results I wanted from them either. I've used name brand accutane and also another brand from a source on the board, used 20mg ed to eod and it kept the acne off. And believe me I'm very prone to breaking out on cycle. Before I used the accutane, I had to stop mid cycle because of it. Now it's no problem.
 
Skinoren by Schering, it contains Azelaic acid and benzoic acid. For me it's by far the best topical solution avaible. I use it twice a day with benzoyl peroxide 2.5% (mild).

Tips:
Take a shower as soon as your done working out and take 2 showers ed
wash or change your sheets on your bed twice a week (min) i do it eod
go with the name brand "Skinoren" for me it works the best

hope this helps

O, and it helps to have a girl around who will put it on your back ;)
 
Ah, good ole benzyl peroxide. I must have used boxes of that stuff. Works good for awhile, but once the onslaught starts it's all over. I also took 2-3 showers a day because of such oily skin, but eventually none of it worked for me.

I had a bad problem with acne also. i just went to the skin doctor and she prescribed me some Bactrim. it worked very well. you might want to see about going by the doctors office if you have insurance.
 
re

I went to the doc on my 2nd cycle and the first word out of her mouth
were..."your on steroids" of course I said no...next she says..."you just
came off steroids"...again I said no.
She prescribed some mild skin lotion for acne and did not work for sh*t.
Needless to say, that was a wasted trip to the doc.
I think I'll try the pharmaceutical accutane on my next cycle.

Oh one other thing... I've had limited success using Bactrim, but if you wanted to try it you could order some from medsmex.com. As long as your placing an order you could also get your Clomid and Nolvadex from there. I also just ordered a product called Isotrex. I have never used it before but am going to give it a try for acne. It contains a slight amount of isotretinoin which is what is in Accutane. You can buy Isotrex from medsmex as well.
 
Azelaic acid after the cycle is the best cream I have ever used, very good and doesnt really affect your skin's dryness etc

Some finesteride during the cycle limits post cycle acne too.
 
Did you try vitamin b-5 in high doses? There is a site that discuss using B-12, not sure if that would help as I've never tried it but a few bro's I know used it and it helped them out a lot!

For me I went to battle with acne, and i was loosing bad, I ended up making a trip to the doc and got some accutane, it is nasty on your body, dry lips, and dry cracked skin, but I won, and no more acne, any more..
Granted I get a zit here and there, but mostly from not using a skin wash.
 
good ole tetracycline works very well but i have read that it may inhibit protein synthesis and its tough on internal organs, with that said there have been many people who have been on the stuff for years with no ill effects
 
if you consult the PDR, normal protocol for taking care of acne can last from 12-20 wks. normal dosages range from .5-2mg/kg bdwt per day depending on how bad your acne is. i think you may benefit more from 40-60mg day (probably closer to 40 for you) for at least 12 weeks. this might be enough to dry up sebacious glands for good.
im currently using ip accu 40mg/d and started 3rd week on mon and im through the initial breakout and getting dryer as the days go on. im looking forward to not having a zit on my back again! if by week 6 or so 40mg's isnt getting the job done, i will go up to 60mg day
 
tetracycline will inhibit protein synthesis in bacteria(prokaryotes) not us (eukaryote)

accutane is a harsh drug, monthly blood check is needed since it can raise blood lipid concentration, your liver will be fucked, if you dont monitor carefully under a doc's supervision

ive done one accutane therapy, for 4 months? i think at 80mg a day, monthly blood test, it sucked, alot of sides but i was a new man after that....then i started cycling heavy again,,now im breaking out again, so i might need to do another therpay or get some tetracycline

right now im using Differin Gel. i like it.

only shitty thing about antibiotics for acne is that you need to take it on empty stomache,,,EMPTY stomache LOL, im never empty
