Q: About five weeks ago, I finished a 12-week cycle of Sustenon (500ew). The final 7 weeks I ran EQ (600ew), along with some Anavar tabs the last 5 weeks. I also took Nolvadex throughout until about 2 weeks after the last inject. About 2 weeks after that last inject, I had a massive outbreak of crater-like acne. It’s awful and I won’t even take my shirt off. He said I looked like a steroid user. (Busted!) He gave me benzoil peroxide of 6% I think, and then a ‘scrip of Doxycycline. It’s gotten better, but it’s still there. Help! I feel like this is social suicide.
A: Acne is a big risk and no one really knows what will happen when they take certain drugs, or combination of drugs. Some tolerate androgens very well (EQ) and some do not. You didn’t say how old you are, but in many cases it’s either young, young men who experience this, or men who have taken up bodybuilding in their 40s. I’d be curious to know which you are, because I’m sure you’re one or the other. Lay off the cycles for a while – you don’t want to exacerbate the situation. Try Accutane. It’s the most effective and it doesn’t sound like you’re getting what you need. Also, definitely shower more than once a day while you treat it. Powder your back before training and then shower really well and apply topical products. Accutane is the most beneficial to major acne like you describe. Take pantothenic acid during the last two weeks of your cycle and the first two weeks you’re off, and practice good hygiene. Try other drug combinations too. These may not be fore you. Wear cotton when you train, use antibacterial soap, and scrub with salicylic acid. Diet can also be a culprit; so don’t eat like crap on your cycles. Other than that, join the club!
I was injecting 4ml of yellow top deca durobolin and 2ml of yellow sustonon per week and was looking good no acne or nothing then i took the worse advice ever and up’d the dose to 8ml of the deca and 4 ml of the sustonon and within 3 weeks my back was in ruins and my forehead broke out i was f**k’in devostated it wasnt as harsh as that pic but still wouldnt take my top off im a 28 yo male started steroids when i was 23 then stopped and got back into it jan 08 and stopped because of the acne so i lost my size and shape and got leaporisy for my troubles, ive just started a new course today ive reverted back to 4ml deca 2ml sustonon but ive been taking 3, 200mg pantothenic acid daily after food and using freederm exfoiliating face and bodywash and its cleared my face and back up i got the b5 pantothenic acid from holland and barrets 180 tabs for 5 pound and the freederm facewash from any chemist for 9 pound and its worked, drink water about 4-5 pints i never used the freederm more then 2ce a day and its worked im just left with scars now not to heavy but still there any ideas how to get rid?
