Oddly enough my acne usually clears up when I'm cycling. Best method I know of is from my ex who always had clear skin. Use a scrubbing stone and go to town when you're in the shower then regularly apply some alcohol to the bad areas. For me it tends to dry out the skin and prevent any new acne development. You could also start working on your tan early as I never have flare ups during the summer because the sun keeps my skin dry enough to stop it. You should also buy a acne removal tool its far less painful and easier on your skin and is meant to prevent scarring.

One piece of advice I would give is make sure your estrogen is controlled. Maybe your not taking enough of a AI. Other than that I know eating greasy foods and lots of sugar can cause acne as well. Gl bro I know it is a pain!
I get the nasty, painful "bacne" also. They're not "normal" zits, they're huge, swollen, red and angry looking and extremely painful. I have recently found that keeping estrogen in check via adex keeps the acne away, just as Defmetal said. Maybe try bumping it up a little bit and see what happens.
When I get this nast acne, no amount of topical treatment will take care of it, these things grow from deep below the surface. It's not oily skin causing them, that's for sure.

BigZ, you're who suggested this to me in the first place, and you were definitely 100% right.

Washing your face wirth gentle face wash(Not soap) at least a couple times a day, change your sheet often, never wear a shirt after you have sweat in it, over the counter acne creams will help!

I get acne during hormone fluctuations. At beginning of cycle, while upping dose, coming off or when estrogen is not stable but dht can cause acne too and upping ai isn't always the answer. Testosterone among other androgenic hormones cause more sebaceous gland activity. More oil from skin. Alot of acne is from pores getting clogged. Bacteria gets in clogged pores also more lives on oily skin. Popping can spread bacteria. But I have to bust these monster zits sometimes they pop for weeks but certain areas get more stopped up and more sebaceous active is involved in areas where there are more androgen receptors.
Go buy chlorohexidine anticepectic rinse at drug store I use this to kill bacteria. Apply benzoyl peroxide but only every other day. Do not use lotion in u use any lotion get one non oily and with vitamin b5.
Take b vitamins complex one with b5 in it plus go to vitamin shop and buy vitamin b5.
Take good balance of fatty acids.
B5 helps breakdown fatty acids that make it to skin surface that are not fully broken down and cause the deep acne that pops and pops and it u squeeze hard enough a little hard seed white thing comes out. Lol!
Those things work for me. I only up ai if holding water and libido going down. An ai is good but too much worse. Cholesterol levels get messed up. And acne can get worse along with libido and health. Acne can be related to estro but not always for sure

How much gear are u one? I sometimes get acne with not estro being the problem at all. Masteron a good example of this. Take shower twice a day definitely after workout. If u sweat in shirt remove it change it. The things I mentioned above work. But u gotta find what works best for u. Too dry skin from creams causes more oil to relieve dryness. Too much oil causes more acne. Find balance. U can always take a round of antibiotics a bunch work to kill it. Dox is just one that works best on skin and approved to stay on for a long time. Clyndamyin works u can also get a cream with it in it with benzoyl period. Or NuOx prescription cream I have some now works great.

Coenzyme A is what u lacking. Acne from anabolic steroids causes those fatty acids to not be broke down completely and make there way to skin. This is caused by testosterone being coverted to dht NOT ESTROGEN!!!
Dht affects pores and hair folicals. Estrogen and pregenolone makes skin healthy imbalance even in woman acne is caused by DHT NOT ESTROGEN

It is from oil for skin that is the cause. It is sebaceous gland activity that is a fact of anabolic androgenic steroids. They cause fatty acids to not get broke down and pore gets plugged deep in surface. It can cause a sebaceous cyst I had one under arms cut open mrsa got in it. Have huge one on back it was a pimple that wouldn't go away 7 years ago now it's a hard lump. Have to have it removed.
Your ai is just incidentally estro is not the cause of acne.
Acne can be a sign that estro or other hormones are unstable or out of ratio but dht is cause of anabolic steroids and acne not estro. Keep taking an ai for acne and u will kill libido and have ED

Lowering estrogen can make acne seem like it's getting better but studies have been done and it's only because estro contributions to inflammation in immune response has nothing to do with acne.

Wanted to BUMP this because I have seen over the last few years guys are trying to control acne with their AI.
Lowering estro will only make immune response to acne less. Guys are getting fooled because inflammation and swelling as am immune response geto less and they think it's the estro causing the acne. Estrogen can play a role but AI imo shouldn't be upped unless there is other symptoms like water and swelling. I control my estrogen really easy, u take a small maintenance dose that I have found works for different doses of gear and types of gear.
From there I don't adjust unless I get other symptoms like fluid water, ED less woods. I check for water around ankles, hands, and that area on lower back by love handle.
Staying on high end is better. Lowering estro too much causes more problems with ED and skin health. Best way to cure acne is kill bacteria, eat better diet and high in vitamin B5. Take b vitamins complex with folate acid. Vitamin C and watch fatty acids some make it worse and imbalance does too. Vitamin B5 supplements definitely work but dose is around 500 mg to 2000 mg per day split up. Time released vitamin B5 helps. Acne caused from anabolic steroids will always come from excess oil and affect hair follicles (dht) we have more of these dht receptors on back, shoulders, chest, tops of arms and face. Ance is a sign of hormone fluctuations and imbalance but doesn't mean it's cause estro is high possible but not necessary. It means dht is higher affecting oils and not getting them broke down. Pore stops up from deep within. Oily skin associated with estro causes surface acne not deep. A dermatologist took a look and said it's a side of steroids suck it up or eat better diet and she told me about the b5 and coenzyme a problem associated with bad Diet low b5 and steroids dht causing this. Reason sometime we have it others we don't is this balance

Ill say this...
I have dealt with the acne problem for years... It runs in my family as well, the big sore red knots. Nasty shit. I have tried EVERYTHING
Only thing that has worked for me was accutane in combo with antibiotics... In the process now. been on accutane for 3 months. It has got so much better. I cant believe I wasted so much time trying everything else.
Yes accutane sucks... My eyes and lips are SO dry is unreal. But not to have cystic acne is worth it.
