Acne problems & solutions

[Unique]

I’ve been getting a boat load of acne everywhere, my chest, back, shoulders, just started feeling some on my neck. Never happened while on trt, after a cycle it started showing up and back on trt It fully just took a load on me.

Literally acne under my chest hair and back and I’m fed up with it. I’ve tried washing my sheets daily, showering multiple times a day, using panoxyl right now it barely helps by drying my skin and calming down the itching.

My estrogen is kind of high but I’ve been controlling it by dosing my AI more often, taking vitamin A & E and still nothing. I don’t wanna end up using accutane but I have no clue what to do at this point, any recommendations guys?

I tried everything for years. Dawn dish soap helped but ultimately I went on accutane. No more acne

Dammit I’m trying to avoid that at all costs, any sides? Just scared of the sides. I don’t wanna tax my liver or mess with stuff down there.

This acne is literally too much for me. I’m constantly scratching my chest at work looking crazy, constantly painful burning itching. Can’t wear tank tops, have to watch out if I bang my back or shoulders on stuff.

How long did it take for the accutane to start working?

I wanna rip my skin off literally getting acne by my balls.

Witch hazel, noxzema . And my wife has some expensive face product I’ve been using with great success. So these are the things I use and it has worked well for the cystic acne on my face and chest. I’d definitely give it a shot. Here’s some pics of the product I’m using.

So I’m saying this stuff worked really well for me,the face product and witch hazel I use morning and night and the face wash when I bathe daily in the evening. It takes a couple weeks to work. Man I was desperate like you bro and I tried all kinds of shit without success. I would use extreme caution if using accutane.

I was pretty desperate to try the wife shit lol but the shit actually works in combination with the others.

Good luck!

If your on trt you may have to use accutane, you can’t just stop taking gear and let it clear up on its own bcz your doing trt. Also higher estrogen is supposed to reduce acne. Look it up. I’ve been running my estro on the higher side, I noticed I’d breakout more when I crash my estro to. Man it sounds miserable. Since I started tren I noticed a few more breakouts on chest and back but it’s mild.

I’ve been using witch hazel with decent results. It’s not perfect but it does minimize it.

I fortunately had zero sides

I’ve had bacne my whole adult life. Ive found that sunshine clears it up nicely. Don’t get burned but doing yard work without a shirt clears almost all of it up.

That’s just me.

Been using African Black Soap. Recommend by my coach. Use it twice a day and no issues so far. Got it on Amazon for about $3

What’s your protocol right now?

My wife got me a couple of products that helped a lot. One is a scrub and the other is a spray on acne thing that burns like all hell when it hits the sores but works great. Cleared my back up when my bad got outta control. I’ll take pics when I get home and throw them up.

@Poppy isnt the first guy I’ve heard offer that solution. I know a couple guys who use the tanning facilities at the gym and swear by it. I only avoid the tanning bed cause I’ve got a small fortune in ink on my skin I don’t want wrecked. If the gym has the facilities for it give it a shot, or yeah, mow the lawn without a shirt.

 

[Poppy]

Yeah my tatts are pretty fried.

Get out in the sun. The pool helped dry my bacne up. Try not to scratch the fuckers or you’ll start fucking your clothes up with blood spots. African Black soap helps a bunch as well.

Accutane is the best solution if nothing else works. I used to go to sauna and shower a couple times after each workout. Like a few minutes in sauna then rinse in shower and back an forth 2-3 times. Using clearisil wipes all the time to clean out and oils and dirt worked on face very well. Especially during summertime when hot. That always helped me.

I keep a pack of wipes in my gym bag, and use cetaphil soap in the shower. Change shirts after the gym shower as soon as possible.

I went to my dermatologist last cycle and got minocycline prescribed and a soap and it cleared me up in under 2 months. I’m currently on my second cycle 9 weeks in and my acne is starting to build up but I have a ton left that im starting when I start pct.
