Persistent back/shoulder acne post-cycle - MESO-Rx

JiHbE · #1 (**permalink**) 06-27-2005, 10:31 PM

I finished my 2nd Sust 250 cycle about 2 months ago and have persistent back/shoulder acne. I never had acne issues before the cycle but it won't seem to go away after this 2nd cycle of Sustanon. I had no problems with it on the firsy cycle. What should I do to get rid of it?

Accutane!! I haven't had acne since. Only take it if it's real bad. Try tazorac gel applied once everynight before bed. Also you can take antibiotics and tan to kill the bacteria. Accutane is the only one that worked for me unfortunatly. Accutane makes you feel like hell but gets rid of the acne after some time.

try these options first mix n match
B-5 10 grams ed
zinc
topical cream- a benzl based topical cream
acne fash wash- ProActiv or Oxy Benz wash
swim in ocean- as often as possible salt drys out pores
swim in pool- chlorine dries pores
shower 2-3 times a day- " "
tanning

if that does not work go to the dermatolist
get on an antibiotic
get a script topical cream-differin works wonders

second to last resort - bactrim
last resort -accutane*****i used it harsh stuff...would not do it again

B-5 at 1o gms ed? Sounds excessive to me. I do 5 gms ed until the outbreak is over, then drop to 2 gms ed for prevention.

Tanning helps cover up acne but doesn;t help get rid of it.

Do I get B-5 at any drug store OTC?

greyowl....all the dosing recommendations on b5 from the acne stores online along with with SUP1's line of acne blast prodcucts recommend usaully 10 to even 20 grams of b-5 for 1 week to 3 weeks....an then after 3 weeks lower the dose to a maitnence dose

i myself did not see any results from b-5 at doses between 1 gram -10 grams ed but not eveyone gets results from b5....

B-5 does work for me, but I do have to overdose on it to get it to work. Still rather do that than take accutane.

Also, don't forget to wash/bleach the sheets you sleep on, at least every 3rd day.
Dont keep wearing the same t-shirt and gym clothes you worked out in the day before.
Carry a towel with you when you go work out and lay it on the bench you are using, so many skin problems are picked up due to unsanitary gym equipment.

If all of the advice posted by everyone above doesn't help you...It may be terminal.

I've tried all the maintenance options mentioned by the others--B-5 supplementation, tanning 2x weekly, and liquid accutane. It was months after a test/tren cycle and I was still plagued by acne when I finally decided to go see a dermatologist. A combination of oral antibiotics (doxycycline) + topicals (benzaclin worked VERY well) got me to where I wanted, and I've remained clear even as my hormone levels are 'up' again. It is, ultimately, bacteria that cause the inflammation. Once they take hold, for many of us, it's not easy to shake them loose, so to speak. I'd spend the extra $ and visit a good doc. Had I known earlier, I would not have hesitated to save myself from worrying and wasting a lot of effort on ineffectual treatments.
