Has anyone been game to use shampoo for facial acne?[/quote]
I have used it a few times.
It didn’t do anything bad.

I might grab a bottle just to see how this works.
Now does anyone have suggestions how to get rid of those mother fucking under-the-skin-cyst things that I keep getting on my armpits?
haha 
I think what you’re describing are sebaceous cysts. unfortunately they’ll keep coming back… just make sure to get as much puss out as possible, and disinfect, that could get rid of them.

But what if I don’t want to get rid of them? They are so much fun!
lmao…I’m so glad I’m eating cottage cheese and talking about fucking cysts, making me sick to my stomach.

Selenium also kills aliens.
Evolution ftw.
I used accutane and it went away for good never to come back. That was 2 or 3 years ago. Im still alive and my liver tested fine.

What was your dose protocol?

If it is a Cyst, doing what you just described will not get rid of it. The puss is encompassed by a sac, it is only when that sac is removed will that cyst not return.
I’m headed to CVS right now to pick some of this stuff up. I’ve had back acne problems since 8th grade and now many of them have turned to scars, has anyone had any success in treating acne scarring?
Update:
I had two more days left of PCT and ran out of this stuff. Thought it would be okay to stop using it. Within a day, I had pimples on my shoulder and one on my back.
I went to CVS yesterday, and today after the second treatment things are already looking much better again. I’m going to use it till I am done with this second bottle.
What kind of ‘acne’ do you get? Are you just getting superficial white heads? Clogged pores, black heads? Enflamed pores? Cystic acne?
Is your skin generally oily? Or typically on the drier side? Just being thorough lol

I get just regular white head pimples. I do have some light blackheads on my nose, but they don’t ever get infected. My pimples are red and inflamed, develop a white head, and then I pop them.
Before I started using and off-cycle, I get the occasional pimple on my face, and my back stays perfectly clear. They usually pop up on my face if I stay out too late on the weekend or go to bed without washing my face. Usually when it gets clear, I start getting lazy, and then I get pimples again.
My first cycle, my back looked like a war zone. Took about 2 months to clear up after PCT. My face was a little worse than normal, but manageable.
This cycle I used Nizoral throughout, and had less than 10 pimples on my back/shoulders the whole cycle, including PCT. My back looks as clear as is does off-cycle.
My skin is pretty oily, and I sweat a lot. I don’t ever have to use chap stick or lotion. I think I may have gotten lucky in the acne department.
Yeah I wouldn’t call what you have ‘acne’ lol.
Some people are getting cystic acne that can only be cleared up with combo topical/antibiotic treatment. Cystic acne sucks, believe me.

I guess not, I didn’t realize there was a difference, only levels of severity.

Yea I didn’t know much about it either. I’ve had clear skin my whole life until the end of ly last cycle. I spent quite a bit of time on acne.com or .org I dont remember. Pretty comprehensive information actually.
My Finace’ is an esthetician and has given me some great advice and products that help dramatically. I will have her post under my name later today and give her 2 cc’s on the issue. I know she says the product you are using will cause excessive drying and therefore is only a temporary fix. Stay Tuned…
bump, buying this dandruff stuff tomorrow.
I bought some of this a week ago, but this is what my bottle looks like.
“Nizoral 2% Dandruff Shampoo 120mL”
I don’t know, as far as I can tell it might be working a bit. Dries out my skin pretty damn good sometimes though. I guess I will see over the next few weeks how it does.
Does anyone have any hints or tips about getting rid of those damn red/purpleish blemishes left over after the zit is gone? Thats my main issue and would love to get rid of them.

Some people get rid of those colored scars with various iterations from the Vitamin A family, like RetinA or like-type products. Nothing seems to work universally for everyone. Accutane helps me without totally curing the problem. Some might debate this but for me and my skin complex/color sunlight/tanning helps too. Lighter skinned people might not see as much help from the sun/light
I will have to look into that. I guess I will have to find something thats oil free for that too, either wise I would likely be back to square one.
Someone just told me that you use Vitamin E, and that they have never heard of using Vitamin A. Has anyone tried either, and if so, what were your results?
