Faye's Presription for Acne

[Faye]

Acne is a common side effect of Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) usage. I recently posted this for some men, but I thought I would share it with the ladies. I've fought acne all my life and this works wonders for me.

Faye's Prescription for Acne

B5 - At the beginning and end of every cycle to PREVENT acne, but can also be used to help with existing acne.
5 grams/day (yes, grams) of B5 for 1 week
2.5 grams/day of B5 for 1 week
1 gram/day of B5 for 1 week, then continue as needed

AM, Post-workout, and PM before bed.
1. Clean affected areas with mild cleaner, like Aveeno soap, or gel cleaner for combination skin, I use L'Oreal foaming gel cleanser for combination skin (it's green).
2. Take a cotton ball and soak with Isopropyl Alcohol and swap affected areas (kills bacteria).
3. Use generous amount of Tea Tree oil on affected areas. You can pic some up at your local health food store. It smells funny, but it promotes healing and kills bacteria
4. Neosporin Antibacterial Creme to help heal wounds faster and reduce scarring, esp if you've popped them (which, of course you shouldn't).
5. Use moisterizer as normal (to prevent drying from alcohol etc)

Be faithful to this regimine for at least two weeks. If you do not see an improvement in two weeks, make an appointment with a dermatologist.

I ran out and bought B5 the day you posted and I really think my skin is already looking better. I broke out on my back and shoulders post cycle and have been trying and trying to get it cleared up but I really think its looking much better. Thanks Faye, Chelsea

JUst thought I would share something I added to Fayes good advice. I had a terrible case of acne on my back and couldnt reach it to apply alcohol or anything. I found a product made by Clinique called "acne solutions body spray". In combination with the B5, I spray my back down with it twice a day and really think it is helping with those hard to reach areas. It has 2% salicylic acid in it and the second ingredient is alcohol so I thought it might cause overly dry skin but so far so good and my back is finally looking better. Cheslea

Hey Faye. Here's a question for you. Do you use B5 daily as part of your daily vitamin regimen or only when you are on or finishing a cycle?
