Skin issues

[skinnyman]

This is a bit gross but just wanted to see if anyone else expereinced this.

Over the past several months I've been expereincing these pimple like bumps. Now they don't come to a "head" like a pimple does, but more so gets hard, red and sensitive. I've tried to sqeeze them and just a little clear fluid comes out. Over time, they get to a point where they break on their own, ooze and bleed quite a bit. Had one on the back of my kneck above my hairline that got pretty big and i lost my hair in that spot.

Got to the point where i had like 10 of them all over my head, kneck and face. Finally went to the Dermatologist a fews back and he said it was some kind of bacteria infection. He shot a few up with a steroid and they went away. Aslo gave me these pills to take for a three week period and they really upset my stomach, couldnt take dairy with them and had to take 2 times a day. They did clear up during that period however are coming back again.

I have had issues while on HRT as well as when cycling so i'm not sure if its the gear.

any idea?

Re: Skin issues

See if you can get prescribed accutane. It will clear it up and prevent it from coming back during future cycles

Re: Skin issues

Sounds like follicultis which is an infection in the hair follicles. Did he give you an antibiotic? It could also be a tyupe of candida fungal infection. Steroids actually promote the growth of candida. (I am not sure about AAS though). I wouldn't get the acutane. If you were my client (I am a 25 year cosmetologist), I would reccomend a good deep cleansing shampoo with tea tree oil and there are also good skin cleansers as well with that. You need a product for your skin that is anti-bacterial and there are many natural things you can put on as well. Steroid shots and antibiotics kill good bacteria so I would also say to eat foods with probiotics when taking that, or take a probiotic supp. You should getting the good probiotics all of the time truthfully. What are you currently using on you hair and skin?

One more thing, make sure you change your pillowcase n a daily basis.

Re: Skin issues

i experience this as well but its not on my head or face. this is the type of acne i get whenever i cycle, and it seems like when i pct and get off it just gets worse. however recently i have incorporated dosing b-5 between 6 - 10 grams a day and it has kept the big bubbles from popping up, theres still residual red skin markings though. just a thought.

Re: Skin issues

I bet it is hormone related. Some people are more prone then others. I like all the suggestion that baby gave you.

Keep using that but I would still recommend taking a probiotic

Re: Skin issues

I would try the body builder wash...until you get some ordered, go to Walgreens or CVS and ask the pharmacy for a body bar that helps with skin irritations, primarily used for MRSA patients. i can't think of the name of the bar but we had to use it after hubby came in contact and had MRSA.

Re: Skin issues

Hey Baby took your advise and looked into the products you mention as well as the link you provided. Couldnt beleive the rave reviews this stuff was getting in clearing up all kinds of issues, wrinkles, pores, etc. So i ordered me a Daily wash that includes Tea Tree oil, a Pre-Peel Salicylic Deep Gel Exfoliating Cleanser - Enhanced with Tea Tree Oil & Green Tea Extract to be used 2-3 times week and a Glycolic Acid Gel Peel - Enhanced with Retinol and Green Tea Extract. all got good reviews and i should receive in the next few days. i will keep you posted on results.

Thanks again
