THis might sound funnyy but all I have to do for acne is just go to the beach n swim in that saltwater for a while. You will see the difference almost immediately!

try 3 - 5 grams a day of Vitamin B5 Pantothenic acid. Works great for some people including myself. You can get it in GNC, the dose will most likely be 500 mg per cap. So I would start with about 6 a day broken up throughout the day and see what happens in a week or two. You need alot, but it can be very effective and is dirt cheap.

I've often heard that hot water is bad and you should use warm instead. Whether this make a whole shit load of difference I don't know.

One thing I did after my last cycle (which was my first, I found out what acne WAS!) was to go out and buy myself a back scrubby thing on a stick and a bar containing benzoyl peroxide. I scrub with regular soap first, then the benzoyl peroxide bar.

Another thing I've been doing is using Nizoral shampoo not only on my hair, but also on my back using the scrubby thing. For those of you who don't know, nizoral has some antiandrogenetic properties. In a couple studies I've come across, the reduction in sebum production is one criterion upon which nizorals antiadrogenetic strength was judged.

My next cycle starts in a couple weeks and I plan to mix up a mild bleach solution to spray on my back as well. I've also found a way to get ahold of some liquid retin-a.

Something I'd like to find, if anyone can help me out, is azelaic acid which halts DHT formation in the skin. So far the only product I've found with this is Xandrox, a mixture of minoxidil and azelaic acid. Somehow I just don't like the Idea of minoxidil on my back. I've already sprouted a few hairs there from my last cyce. =)

Hope any of this helps...
