in a wierd situation

aight, well i got a case of prety bad acne on my back and on my shoulders, it wasnt to bad when i was off the gear, but ive taken 400 mg's last week, and that waqs my first shot, and i can tell im bout to start breackin out worse, well the problem is, is that im going the beach in like 3-4 weeks, and i wanted to be acne free, but on this cycle, its gunna be close to impossible, and im really self consious on this acne crap, had for allonnng time,a nd i hate it, im on my like 2nd week of proactive, and take these pills, its helps a bit, but probably wont do any good if im startin up a test only cycle, what do you guys think i should do, should i quit the cycle and start up after get back? im only a week in, or would that just be a mistake, need sum help guys, thanks in advance..!

I would start 10 grams B-5 daily. I would use an acne treatment soap with salicylic acid in it and even pour some salicylic acid based astringent on the affected areas. I would also hit up the tanning bed to dry out the skin.

Then there are drugs.

what type of salicylic acid soap should i look for? not to educated on that to much, thanks though man, im going to get b-5 today, any other comments any1?

You can get these soaps in any drug store or wal-mart near the acne stuff. Benzoyl peroxide soap works also.

Tea tree oil soap w/salicylic acid. I have acne but its genetic. thats what i have to use

The tanning bed will help prevent the acne, but it also makes your skin nice and brown wich makes any old acne harder to see, so it can help at two levels. If you have acne now, you will probaly still have some signs of it three weeks, so I would suggest hitting the tanning beds. In three weeks, you could have some nice color.

i agree with all the stuff fonz said, and i would highly recommend you trying accutane. if your acne is cystic then your doc should have NO problem giving it to you. i had really bad acne on my back and forehead and i have none now, and i only used accutane for 6 months like 2 years ago. i would at least just talk to a dermatologist about it and see what he/she says.

preciate the info. i went to a dermatolist a few times before, dont recently, and they just end up given me some pills, they work ok, but i think i pretty much tried all of the other products, besides accutane, that might be my next option, how long did it take to notice a difference, and does it help u not breack out to this day? and one more thing, i here when u first start takin it, it makes u breack out worse for a few weeks, then it starts to get better? well thanks for the replies, and keep em coming if any1 else has any different ideas, thanks again for all of yalls help

Once you have been on accutane, most users typically do not ever break out again. Never really had a problem myself, but my sister used it--acne gone. Yes, most people experience a slight worsening of acne, but then it all goes away. Tetracycline works for some, but it makes you light-sensitive so you'll burn instead of tan--not good.
