Question regarding gear use and acne

[meathead23]

Hi guys,

Need some help regarding my current cycle. Generally, I have pretty decent skin and have cycled in the past without breaking out too much. This time around, especially over the last few weeks, I have broken out in pimples however only on my back. Nothing on my chest, arms, face, etc. I'm really concerned about this as it hasn't been this bad before.

Does anyone know any good tablet form medication I can take to clear this situation up quick? Wanting to take something that'll clear it up in the quickest time possible, especially because in Australia, beach season is coming up pretty soon and want my skin to go back to being super clear. What have u guys used in the past to clear up back acne? Really needing some help with this situation.

For background, I use 3ml sus, 3ml mast, 3ml tren ace each week. My sus is labelled 250mg per ml, tren ace and mast both at 100mg per ml.

Thanks in advance.

Before I took Accutane, I showered twice a day when running tren. Change your sheets often and get a good soap.

[IroNat]

Its got nothing to do with all the drugs you are taking.

Congratulations, you are finally going through puberty.

Low dose accutane, 10mg or 20mg a day. Don't overdo it, it's powerful stuff. Either get the generic stuff from indian pharmacy, or I'm pretty sure your AAS supplier stocks some as well. You can also go to a dermo

good luck with the derm, they give blood test for AST LEVELs and wont give you accutane if you have elevated blood levels

also loose bodyfat, i mean it. i feel acne is correlated to bodyfat/higher estrogenic fat

I had blood tests when I was on it and had no body fat at all. I had bad sides because they dosed it higher when it first came out.

It's hormone (androgens) related but certainly not related to fat or estrogen.

yes it is on your jawline/upper back it is hormones

some say saw palmetto helps since it keeps DHT conversion at bay....  i take it 2x a day -

i feel when i am leaner, i have less hormone fluctuation.  get to a legit 10% or less and your skin is tighter and dryer.....

if i can give anyone tips on someone who has acne and wants to try to a different route than the other routes always mentioned

it is get your ass below 10% bf and stay there.
also use the sauna 5x a week and do it for 20-30 minutes daily

There's a forum for questions like this, unless you want advice from people who don't use steroids or the treatment they're suggesting for steroid-related acne. Then stick around and post here, I guess.

Go back to the main page and scroll down to Steroids & Hardcore. You're welcome.

acne is so hard to solve.

i have more folliculitis than acne (ingrown hairs that resemble zits)

if you have some big ones - big cysts go see your derm and ask him to do a kenalog injection. it a form of cortisone injected into the cyst..... flatten the zit right away

only go to a skilled derm who does kenalog injections -


good luck acne sucks.

where are you getting your acne?

I don't think you're replying to the right person. I'm not the OP. I haven't had acne since my late teens and it wasn't steroid-related.

>>> local GP !.

Did the guys during Arnold’s era develop the same acne problems guys are experiencing today? Maybe it’s too much test they are using?

[TheShape.]

Any day I’d sit in a sauna 5x a week and shower twice a day shoveling down yet another drug to combat the side effects of another. Clearly your body is rejecting the hormone use, lower the dose!

Also see what gives you acne. For me personally test gives acne but not tren. For some people it's opposite. Maybe test one compound at a time and see how it goes

[Powerlift66]

Im pretty sure its Trumps fault...

LAY OFF THE TESTOSTERONE

The same reason they all had full heads of hair: no testosterone use.

once test became the drug du jour circa the late 80s early 90s then you started seeing the now all too common phenomena of gym rats with baldy heads and acne all over their back and shoulders, not to mention the bloat monsters with chronically high blood pressure and red skin. Guys in arnolds era could get pretty bloofy but their skin color was always normal.

[Notomorrow]

Careful,  Accutane can really fuck with test, part of reason it works...Do a 3 month course and it permanently shrinks sebaceous glands...don't do as maintenance it can really fuck with bodybuilding.

Isotretinoin influences pituitary hormone levels in acne patients.


In this study, we investigated the effects of isotretinoin on the pituitary-adrenal axis, whose activity may be increased in acne. Various hormone systems were evaluated before and after 3 months of isotretinoin treatment in 47 acne patients. Free triiodothyronine (T3), thyroid-stimulating hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibody levels decreased significantly during isotretinoin treatment (p < 0.001, p < 0.02 and p < 0.02, respectively), as did those of luteinising hormone, prolactin and total testosterone (p < 0.005), as well as morning cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (p < 0.005 and p < 0.05, respectively). We conclude that isotretinoin causes mild suppression of pituitary hormone levels, which may be beneficial for tackling the pathogenesis of acne.

Guys were using test in the late 70s.

Powerlifters and footballers were. Bodybuilders didn't touch it, many considered it a "dirty drug"

Its hardly like I'm just pulling this out of my ass, this is a consistent theme when sources from that era are engaged on the topic. Nandrolone was the primary drug of choice. Testosterone was avoided.

Dr Robert Kerr's book "the practical use of anabolic steroids with athletes" gives further evidence to this notion. He primarily prescribed nandrolone, dianabol and anavar. He did not like to prescribe testosterone due to the side effects unless the patient was adamant about gaining scale weight as fast as possible, again, typically footballers, not bodybuilders.

If anyone refuses to believe this despite every bit of evidence to the contrary, just ask yourself why looking at gym rats from the era there is an absence of bloat, acne, gyno, high blood pressure (characterized by chronically red/purple skin tinges) and hair loss, and why that is all too common in today's gym rats? The only thing that has changed is the drugs of choice.

you look at any olympia from 1950-1980 and almost every competitor on stage will not only have hair, but a full head of it. Look at any olympia from the past 20 years and notice how the prevalence of baldness skyrockets. Its not because having a chrome dome suddenly became fashionable, thats for fucking sure.

Ric drasin , Andreas Cahling and many guys from that era said test was used all the time....doctors like the one's you mention were working with Olympic athletes in the 70's and the only real drug test for steroids was the Testosterone:Epitestosterone test...hence pure test would be avoided...dbol would be put of your system in days and nandrolone didn't have an effective test until the 90s....Olympic athletes avoided test in 70s because it was basically the only steroid tested for...

Bodybuilders used plenty of test....

[kreator]

How did they manage to get the pecker up and perform?

the doctor i mentioned was working with BODYBUILDERS primarily, including one A. Schwarzenegger   You can search his name on this very forum, he was a well known fixture of the scene. You are taking the word "Athletes" a bit too conventionally.

it is in fact, the very same "medical doctor" Ric Drasin talks about as being one of the two doctors practically EVERYONE in golds was seeing to get their shit.

funny you mention ric drasin, since in his very own video he details what was around but then goes into detail about what the top guys were using, and it was NOT TESTOSTERONE: pay close attention from 2:40 onwards - guys competing in the olymia, from gold's gym, were taking PRIMOBOLAN, WINSTROL AND DECA. Drasin for himself makes no specific mention of actually USING testosterone.

again, it was regarded as a dirty drug. Just because it was around (duh) doesnt mean it was popular.
