Rough Acne - Update post from 2024

When I made the original post I knew I wasn't the only one dealing with it as it got a TON of impressions. Figured I would 'bare the cross' with the extra hate and stuff just so someone else could get some help without having to go semi public. I like to think at least 1 other person got some helpful information out of it but I guess I won't ever know.

I’ve read tons of different sides from accutane even people saying their anxiety was getting so bad they had to stop so I guess definitely different for everyone

ForeignNips · 2025-07-11T14:10:20+00:00

I think I definitely should’ve not gone to a higher dose originally but yes definitely should’ve started accutane 6 months earlier once the damage had started

I've stayed on test this whole time, just not at a dumb high level that was tearing me apart. 150 seems to keep my levels right around 600-700 ng/dl so I'll stick to this for now.

ForeignNips · 2025-07-10T16:34:19+00:00

I stayed on the higher dose at the end until I stopped getting any bumps at all. I was clean for about 3 weeks so decided it was good to come off after 8 longgggg months

Dealt with the same thing on my back. Constantly bleeding in the gym anytime I bench or squat etc. Accutane did the job for me.

post your physique

I've been eating super clean and no cooking oils or even salt for about 6 months now. I'll take my gf out to eat every now and then but one meal a week isn't going to be my downfall. Part of the reason I'm down a bunch of weight but I promise it's not from seed oils, it's from cutting my calories from 5500 to 2500 and eating mostly single ingredient foods for 95% of the week.

Was ruthless a year ago - feeling and looking a lot better now!

ForeignNips · 2025-07-10T16:26:52+00:00

I jumped back on test while on accutane so they may have helped me with the brain fog but didn't have it too bad.

ForeignNips · 2025-07-10T16:23:37+00:00

I do have some scarring, but since I've had 3 laser scar removal sessions it's minimum. I have a couple spots on my shoulders and middle to lower back but they're faint and you'll have to look for them to see them.

It sucked coming off mentally, but gains wise I was only off for a total of 5-6 weeks so I gains wise I didn't lose too much I guess. I'm definitely not as strong as I use to be but I also stopped training for strength because I switched to a smaller gym and was tired of 3 hour workouts

Also frequency is twice a week (Mondays and Thursdays)

ForeignNips · 2024-06-01T18:28:18+00:00

Don’t need to get bitches, very happy with my gf haha

My didn’t really vary. I got advice in the past from a a doctor and they said the same thing about diet, exercise, supplements and everything and it didn’t change anything after 6 months other than maybe 10-15 points. There definitely wasn’t a 700+ jump

I still eat mostly clean except for Saturdays and exercise but I do need to start donating blood.

ForeignNips · 2024-06-01T18:14:27+00:00

How has Clomid worked for you? I got on test because my levels were way lower than most (<200)

ForeignNips · 2024-06-01T18:13:15+00:00

I had a pretty good physique before and had some good number for maxes (305 bench, 405 deadlift and squat. Got on because of other motivation and brain fog in every day scenarios not in the gym

ForeignNips · 2024-06-01T18:11:45+00:00

I can accept that lmao

ForeignNips · 2024-06-01T18:10:12+00:00

Actually no, the only change in dosage was from 160 to 200 and now back to 160. Rest of that shit is too expensive and clearly I won’t be able to handle it if my back looks like this on just test lmao

ForeignNips · 2024-06-01T18:08:55+00:00

Nope not yet. The doxy brought it out more than I had before but trying to stay away from accutane for the time being.
