please help a brother

[tarzannigga]

alright brothers. i have some pretty bad news. the acne ive been getting from AAS just has become intolerable. seen a derm not too long ago and we're both pretty sure im still getting it because of the AAS (im on 125mg test and 250eq for a cruise) ive been using antibiotics and they havent helped. got some topical retinoids now and my last pin was last tuesday. unfortunately im thinking of taking a break from gear for at least 3-6 months to see where it gets me. accutane may be a future option but it isnt rn unforunately. so my question is. is there any compound or even sarm i can use that may not cause me to break out as much? ive tried controlling estrogen but nothing has helped so far. shower 3 times a day and everything im positive its the AAS because i didnt even really break out much as a teen. will only eq make me still break out? what about primo or sarms? please give me some insight i really love gear and training, its pretty much saved my life

Anything that messes with your hormones could cause acne. I get it worse with some over others but yea it's part of it

I wish I could help..I've been fortunate in my life to rarely get a pimple..I don't know if this will work for you..but till this day not as often as when I was young...I washed my face with close up tooth paste after I shaved...burned but it was smooth and clean afterwards...I chalked it up to abrasives in the toothpaste keeping me acne free...that's all I know about acne....hope it works out..my buddy got ate up with the acne a while back....it fucked him up...nothing helped....he stopped and eventually it cleared up...maybe younger guys may be more prone to it...I really don't know....lay off for a while see what happens....good luck...might be the compounds you're running...

I'll say sometimes it's pinning frequency if you are pinning just test e once a week that won't keep your hormones as stable as once every 4 days or twice a week. With the EQ just once a week should be ok

It may be the brand of gear you're using. For example if a lab uses EO that will tend to give you very oily skin and can cause more acne. Have you tried washing with dandruff shampoo on the affected area? That's been known to help a lot of people.

Friend of mine was in your situation...pretty much cystic acne. He ran accutane (not sure of all details, but....) cleared him up not only for that run, but (even after dropping the accutane for that cycle) he was able to run cycles afterwards too and seemed it never flared up again. I understand its harsh tho and would have to monitor ??.... (cant remember details, definitely something to monitor though)

I can relate here.....
Unfortunately struggled all my life with acne... tried everything.. you name it... Obviously aas dont help but i also have low test.... so i need to aas for that and put up with the acne.
I did see a dermo and got sick of listening to her shit telling me to stop aas... she obviously didnt know what low t levels feels like.
So i found a source for accutane and now take 40mg a day for a week then 20mg ed while on cycle... only thing that helps.. i know its harsh stuff and it drys your lips out alot but its a small price to pay ... the shit does work...

As stupid as this is gonna sound bro, I tried everything, my whole fucking back shoulders and side of my arms just got it real bad a couple weeks ago, I tried fucking everything, what I found worked in three fucking days was Walgreens brand body face and back wash, and then strides pads after the shower, and after that, cvs vanishing cream, 2-3 days about 1000 pimples went away, and this wasn't your typical acne bro, these mother fuckers hurt!! Hope that helps, oh and b4 u use the back face and chest wash, use Walgreens acne body wash for ur reg shower!! 3 days tops u will c the difference!!

I got so sick of my acne but I'm really trying to hold off on accutane. Scrolling through social media one of my friends is always doing those "get rich from home" schemes that stay at home moms seem to love, but she was posting some pretty awesome before and after pictures. Said fuck it, I'll try it. The stuff is called "unblemish" from Rodan and Fields. And it has helped. Fkn expensive though, one kit is $160. It's supposed to be for two months but since I'm putting it on my arms, back, and face the kit only lasts a few weeks. Once the acne cleared up a bit I usually only use it EOD and it seems to be a good balance between outbreaks and cost.

Good luck bro.

Did u try doxycycline antibiotic I'm on the and it's helping. That and benzoyl peroxide. How was that dienolone?

Vitamin B5 at 10 grams a day does it for me. I've tried a lot of stuff but this seems to make the best impact. I get nasty painful acne too. I start to see results in about 3to4 days. Might want to check it out. I buy bulk powder to keep the cost down.
