Juice and Acne... - MESO-Rx

My buddy got some really back acne on his second cycle. I am doing the exact same cycle as him and I got none at all. I am guessing this is due to different body compisitions and hormone levels etc.... everyone reacts differnetly. We are both making great gaines but my buddy is freaking out. He has an appointment coming up next week to see a dermitologist to see if they can help with the acne. I told him he should just complete his cycle and wait till his PCT is finished and then see how bad it is but he is freaking out since he is going south in 3 months and is insisting on see the doctor...

He has a couple of questions, and since I have no experience in this field I figured I would post here to see what you guys think...

First off do you think a dermitologist will recognize the fact that his acne is a result of the juice?
Do you think he should be up front and tell the dermitologist that he is doing juice?
Is there really anything they can do short of prescribing accutane to help with his acne?

My guess is the second the dermitologist realizes that the ance is from steriods they will tell him, to stop taking the juice and the ance will eventually leave, and they may not be willing to prescribe anything....

He is doing all the proper skin care - washing with acne soaps, tanning to help reduce the appearence etc.... He tried vitiman B5 with little to no effect. He was also thinking of taking vitiamin A to see if that helps...

If he stops his cycle now it still wont stop the acne. I had acne REALLY bad my first cycle and saw a doc about it and was brutally honest with him. I got the speech, trust me. But, I was put on antibiotic lotions, minocycline, and rentin-a. Nothing worked. Well, actually the rentin-a worked a little bit. I found the only thing to work for me was accutane. Thats not a very liver-friendly drug though, so I'd make that my last resort.

Thats a sure way for me to know my gear is legit. Without the acne, then I would think something was wrong.

Going to see the doc will not hurt..do not admit to using gear though.Vitamin a and low dose acutane clears me up just fine.

when you say a low does -- are you talk like 10mgs a day or somthing like that Dennis? And what dosages of vitiman A?

do you think it is safe to take the accutane and vitiman A while on cycle. Sust only cycle btw

Buy the capsulized vitamin a..take 2x the recomended dosage daily.The acutane you will have to experiment with though.I tried 10 mgs ed and that was way much for me..dried my lips out really bad..went to eod and that was still too much..my sweet spot was like every 3rd day 10 mgs.HDH on the other hand i think used like 50 mgs per day of acutane..is it safe??? ..well , high doses of vitamin a can be bad but I do not consider 2x the normal dose a high dose.The acutane at 10 mgs per day should not be enough to hurt the liver..the acutane worked within like 10 days for me too..for others it takes longer.

I second this info. My sweet spot for accutane was 20mgs. Everyone is different. After I started it, my acne improved fairly quick as well.

Actually, a doctor will prescribe 100mg per day for a 220lb person. More than that for severe cases. They will also keep an eye on the old liver too. I have gone up to 75mg per day and it will take a couple of months to start taking effect for me. Of course people react differently. I never really suffered bad sides from it. My lips chapped slightly.

For anyone considering using this product, make sure that you check into it thoroughly as the sides are to great for some.
