[QUOTE="captain_j, post: 181925, member: 40998"] I actually am already seeing a dermatologist. They have me on Fabior foaming retinol cream once daily, and I'm about 32 days into a 60 day doxycycline regiment. The doxy doesn't seem to of had much of an effect on my body acne, but it did clear my face up really well (I only had very slight acne on my face, nothing to really worry about). I've decided against the finasteride for now, since I do agree with you and others that it would only complicate things now. I'm also cutting out whey protein to see if that gives an improvement. Is there evidence online that shows pomegranate juice and CDG will help body acne? If I'm trying to reduce insulin spikes (since others have suggested this could cause acne), then a sugary fruit juice may not be the best thing. I am currently considering lowering my daily dose from 20 mg down to 18 mg, and sticking there for about 2 weeks to let my body adjust. See how that goes, and if I need to, drop down to 16 mg for 2 weeks, reassess, etc. I've lowered my dose in the past, and I remember it kinda sucked for a while when my body was adjusting. I think I can handle reducing carbs by upping protein and fat, but not sure I'd go complete "low carb" right away. But I am definitely going to be cutting out most sugars, even fruits. I already don't eat a lot of sugar, but I'd like to reduce even further. I agree, I don't think I want to make drastic diet changes at the moment. I'd rather be able to stick to a regular, balanced diet, and change the protocol to reduce side effects. As I said above, I'm considering gradually dropping my daily test dose, and I've even considered dropping HCG temporarily. But I do notice greater sensitivity and orgasms when I'm running HCG, so it sucks to have to give that up. [/QUOTE]
