Total myth. Eating ****ty and getting acne is somewhat false. There is no total conclusive scientific proof this causes it. It happens dawg you gotta suck it up and live with it. It usually disappears after a while.Some reason may include oily skin, genes, or poor hygiene( I hope not!!!) Go to the doctor if you really want to.

i dunno man its a pretty spot on myth with me.. either they just happen to come up when i eat junk food and its completly coincidence... or it actually does happen

i have to agree with irontooks diet doesnt effect acne. stress, hormone, oily or dirty skin, and just plain genetics affect it the most. My back breaks out from time to time when i take hormonal supplements. never juiced but prohormones have done this to me. If you go to acne.org they have some good products that REALLY work I use them. But if you are like me and you tend to breakout at places you cant reach i.e your back have your girlfriend or roommate or whoever apply the ointment to make sure they get all the problem areas. also IMMEDIATLEY after you eat your post workout meal SHOWER!!! dont sit around with dirty clothes on cause your poors are open because you have been working out. So you want to clean them before they fill with dirt and close. Also increase the frequency that you wash your pillow cases and sheets. Think about it your oily skin is touching them for about 8 hours a day. Then think how often you really wash them? even if you wash them once a week thats 56 hours you've been laying in your sheets before they get clean!! I'm sure you wouldnt wear the same t-shirt for 56 straight hours before washing it would you? Just some food for thought....

thx heaps cook, that was some great info

sweaty dirty locations, touching your skin too much, popping pimples etc all contribute as well..

by working out eating right etc, your hormone levels may increase right? if you eat ****ty food, drink alcohol etc your levels decrease .. Could this imbalance cause your skin to react ? .. something to think about

usually when i train hard i get pimples in that area

I recently went on a holiday and my acne totally cleared up .. got back (im still not working atm). started going to the gym and basically the next day I had nasty little pimples re appearing ..

just buy like a Benzol peroxide face wash and use it like 2 times a day . apply a peroxide cream to the affected areas also ..

give a try to b5 vitamin (panthotenic acid) at 5 - 6 grams a day (divided in two doses.

Worked well with me.

MAn accutane is the way to go if you have acne problems, everything else is ****, give it a try, it works.

its a 9 month cycle .it removes oil from your skin which inturn gets rid of pimples.
and you can't drink well you are on it so.... +1 for doing your body right

um...... yeah i would reccomend accutane first of all alot of doctors dont like to perscribe it because it is hard on your liver thats why you cant drink while you take it. second if you are bodybuilding and already taking PH's or juice the last thing you want is extra strain on your liver.

Yeah, i'm having acne problems as well, but, they call Accutane something different now. I forget what they called it. But, it works super good. My dermatologist didn't give it to me till like after a year of giving me other crap. It'll just dry you up like crazy. And yeah, like cook said, they don't like giving it out. I was on it for 6 months but it came back =/

dude man accutane is the way to GO it seriously changed my life, NOTHING else worked, thiss ****tt make everything go away

jfresh · 06-08-2007, 04:01 AM

I agree and am proof that the B5 pantothenic acid works......although the studies I've read and the success I've had with the product requires about 10g's a day. Either way it works and you should see results within a few days.

Best advice yet. Genetics is a big thing. prpbably the main thing how old are you? just keep your body clean daily and dont over wash it.
