[QUOTE="Ragnar73, post: 195348, member: 41975"] Hello gents. I have annoying problems with acne on scalp and some on face too. Not horrible, but I keep getting it, for quite a while now and its really bumming me out at my age. [B]About me.[/B] 47 yo. 120kg. about 15% bf...I think? I use 250mg Test E every week (high level, I know). Work out 4 days a week. For 30+ years now. I was on Accutane and it helped, but some time after, the acne started coming back. There seems to be a relation to dairy products and maybe gluten? So I have cut both 95% out of my diet. I think it helped, but not enough. Here the gyms are closed, for months now (corona) and I train some at home in stead. In that time the acne problem picked up. I dont sweat like I usually do in the gym. Might be that? [B][/B] [I]I have tried ALL the usual solutions[/I] [LIST=1] [*]New pillowcase every nigh (use a tshirt over pillow). [*]Benzoyl Peroxide. [*]Tea Tree Oil. [*]Zinc soap. [*]Shower twice a day. [*]Antibiotics. [*]Topical cremes. [/LIST] etc. .....No permanent solution. I used to do a cycle of steroids every summer before I started TRT. Even efter 8 months off Testosterone after every summer, I still got the acne, so it might not be TRT related? I have 200, 20mg Accutane caps on hand right now and consider using 20mg EOD for the next year or so. Have any of you tried using Accutane like that? Do YOU have any advice that helped you? Thank you for reading this. [/QUOTE]
