Acne breakouts

Hi All

I've been on TRT for 8 months now. For the last two months I've been having acne flare ups around my jawline, neck and upper chest. My TRT doc put me on clindamycin topical which helped as a spot treatment. This week I'll start taking doxycycline oral tabs.

Has anyone on here had they same problem and followed this regimen? How are your results?

Thanks,
Mike
 
Nizoral is expensive but in addition to helping with the acne and hairloss it is the only dandruff shampoo that has ever worked for me when I have a flare up. Good stuff
 
Nizoral shampoo hasn't helped much. My acne is BAD on my shoulders, upper back and chest the size of corn kernels. Painful. And I did not know Nizoral shampoo is good for hairloss!!! Not that I have a problem with hairloss, but I do want to keep what I have. Gonna talk to my doc about Acutane Rx!! I don't want to continue with acne issues in my mid 30s.
 
Yes Nizoral is only affective for the hairs, for the acne on the skin you need get some another treatment. Most probably I prefer for home remedies for the acne.
 
In my opinion, there is no better solution than using manuka honey in tandem with skin brightening products, to cure acne. Most of the times, a natural skin brightening products are sufficient to cure acne. Learn more about it here.
