on side note, since accutane is outta question, anyone else use anything besides benzoyl and the cyclines? i cant shake this acne that i have bad on my delts and sides of arms almost down to elbows. its really startin to gross out the chicks, yes yes i know acne is part of the game and i was prepared for it so i dont need to hear dumb remarks. lets keep this constructive

ive gone the route of showering 3 times a day, anti bacterial soap and lava bar, change sheets constantly, and tried the creams. my problem is i work construction so for 8 hrs a day i am dripping in sweat adn dirty as hell. this is part of the problem..... also i know the acne comes from hormonal inbalance but its lasted through my 5 month pct also.

any thoughts? im currently back on

It works, just dries your skin and lips out. If you want your acne gone start tomarrow.

accutane is prescription bro...u have to have a doc prescribe it to u.

ur insurence may cover it if u have a severe case of acne. (just tell yur doc it hurts real bad, and he will tell ur insurence to cover it.)

you can still get prescription without one lol , and no its not a horribly bad case, but it is very distracting VERY, i know the doc has to monitor blood levels etc etc but if insurnace doesent cover it it may b cheaper to go online route. this was just a question is all

try differin rx cream
ive tried it, problem is creams only attack the surface, the reason for acne is hormonal imbalances that create perfect inviorments in your skin and oils to let bacteria grow, and with the construction work that i do non stop sweating and dirt it just blows up, every day after work my arms look horrible......... luckly its only on my arms, only reason i asked about accutane is b/c it attacks the problem from the pores.

ive also heard the dmae cream atrophys pores so imma go that route first on my arms,

also anyone who used accutane have you been acne free? even with later cycles?
