Jesus christ, are you serious?

Some of you lot have a lot worse acne than i ever thought.[/quote]

hahaha, my skin is actually very clear, just a few pimps on my back. You guys don’t get these though? I think it might be just from sweating and letting it incubate all day, who knows.

When you pop them though, damn it’s fucking awesome. Just feels like a lump under the skin, you can’t even see anything. Give that fucker a nice squeeze and Puss Armageddon is unleashed…

I hope you all enjoyed this description.

I get these also. Since I’ve been on anti biotics for the acne on my back they haven’t showed up. It’s probably not worth going on perscription meds just for the armpit cysts but the Minocycline has definitely been good for the cystic acne on my back.

Yah I only get them once or twice a month and they only stick around for 2-3 days before I can pop 'em, so it doesn’t bother me much. It really only hurts when I have to put deodorant on.

I haven’t heard of this before, I’ll give it a try.

I’ve found that oral Zinc supplements work well too. Zinc has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. And as a bonus (if you’re trying to bulk up) a side effect is that it increases your appetite. In fact, I have read that up to 100mg/day has been prescribed to treat anorexia. I found that 50mg/day was more acceptable - but it is important to take them on a full stomach or they make you a little nauseous. Not sure what the maximum daily recommended dose is but I’m sure you can look that up.

Panoxyl 10% was recommended by my dermatologist. Its the best acne body wash i have used. u can find it at your local drug store or walmart. I get mine at walmart, they use to sell it as a liquid now they have gone to a bar.

27

I have been using tretinoid cream throughout my adolescence and on to my twenties… from 14-26 I’d guess. I’ve been pretty religious in applying it. I think consistency is key is getting it benefits.

J-J: I’m pretty sure Accutane isn’t a chemotherapy drug rofl. Where did you get that idea?

Bill Roberts: Topical anti-acne preparations aren’t very effective because they don’t penetrate into the deep dermis very well, which is where the nasty pimples live (pimples with a yellow center are superficial, whereas the nasty red ones are deeper down). Hence a systemic medication is the only effective treatment

Personally, I rate accutane as the greatest drug ever invented - even better than steroids, which should say a lot. Anybody that has significant facial acne can attest to its social life-ruining effects, and hence the value of a universally effective treatment.

I just want to say thanks for another usefull thread.I have struggled with back shoulder acne since puberty I have never did a cycle yet and I’m worried about the acne going to pick up my first cycle this friday !!! I’m excited to say the least but I plan on trying two things in this thread. The only thing that used to help my acne was going out in the sun and getting burnt. Well know its october here in chicago so there is no more sunlol.

Read the acne websites. The sun is actually doing more damage than good. The sun temporarily clears up the spots but it once the sun damaged skin sheds, the damaged skin is exposed even more. Most people will have clear skin for a few days after getting a tan then as the tan fades the acne will come back worse.

But I do think there is a happy medium. I’m just saying this so it doesn’t sound like tanning is a long term fix.

Thanks, that makes sense. My thinking was probably limited by never having had anything but superficial acne.

Try dumping some sea salt in a hot bath…, When I was on vacation this summer the salt water cleared up my face/back acne in a few days.

I have tried ridiculously expensive creams and products but none of it worked.

As much as I also enjoyed popping those motherfucking pimples (man it feels good when they go “pop!”), this is one way to get staph.

You do not want to get staph. Ever. I got it once on my calf (not from popping a pimple, though). Motherfucking thing developed an inflamed ball in my left calf, the size of an apple, with a big, deep, gapping dark hole that used to be the white pimple head thingie.

After it got lanced and the shit squeezed out of it (no anesthesia as if just having that ball didn’t hurt enough), you could push a pen through the hole… and a whole bunch of motherfucking gauze that the doc deemed necessary to shove into the hole… motherfucker.

Then it was the bactrin to kill the fucking staph… which gave me a reaction that sent me to the emergency room with drool coming out of my mouth, feeling one eye rotating independently of the other, I shit you not. Got changed to clyndamicin to finally kill the staph off my system… alongside all my gut flora. Taking a shit was painful, like passing Freddy Kruger’s claws or the offspring of a porcupine and a pineaple. It took like four months for the freaking hole to finally close. Felt weak and shit for months thereafter.

It’s more than two years since then, and you can push the flesh down where the hole used to be in my calf. Damned creepy.

Don’t pop your cysts, pimples and whatnot. And if you really feel you have to, put some alcohol in the area, get a needle, soak it in alcohol and pierce the skin to get the white pasty shit out, then put more alcohol.

Staph is not just the stuff you get in wrestling. You get in the gym, and even construction workers are suffering from it. You can get it from rubbing an infected surface, or when staph (which naturally grows in your skin and inside your nostrils) end up seeping inside a popped pimple. Just don’t pop them, or at least not until you get home and have a bottle of alcohol near you.

It is a chemo drug, you dont even have to do any research, just google it. You can even go to wiki.

Or just

Isotretinoin (INN) (pronounced /Ë?aɪsoÊ?trɨË?tɪnɵÊ?ɨn/[1]) is a medication used for the treatment of moderate to severe acne. It was first developed to be used as a chemotherapy medication for the treatment of brain cancer, pancreatic cancer and more. It is still used in the treatment of these cancers to this day because of its ability to kill rapidly dividing cells. The effects of the medication are systemic and non-selective. In some cases, it is used to treat Harlequin type ichthyosis, a usually lethal skin deformation in which sufferers develop armor plated-like skin and usually die soon after birth. It is a retinoid, meaning it derives from vitamin A and is found in small quantities naturally in the body.
