I don't take steroids. I don't eat seed oils or refined sugar. I've tried all common medications and lifestyle changes. Nothing works. what should I do?

Semen
He's not kidding, that's an old natural remedy that works wonders if you've got the stomach for it (just do it in your room by yourself before you go to bed). Just get the coom in your hand, then apply to back and rub it in, gently. You can put a rag on a stick for this if you're by yourself. Do it for a week and I promise all of that back crap will be gone
Homosexual nonsense, surely.
Its a classic troll
Anon, it can't be your semen. You need to retain your own.
1) stop shooting yourself in the back with an airsoft shotgun
2) go see a dermatologist
get some vitamin A in your diet
I've tried 100,000 iu every day for months at a time. It helps but I still get some really deep cysts on it.
All of that, yes.
You have a genetic problem, i think zits are just a consequence of a much deeper problem.
You should stop focusing on how to get rid of smoke when there is a forest fire
Have you tried zinc/Omega-3/wearing only cotton tops/change shirt everyday/change bed sheets once every few weeks etc?
Trying limiting milk intake or switch to low fat milk.
Or cut dairy products in general
iodine caused acne maybe ?
This has to be an alergic reaction to something, anon...
If it's as bad as picrel I'd bite the bullet and take accurate
gluten,grains . dairy, sugar,
dont touch them
If you have insurance, schedule an appointment with a dermatologist. If not, buy isotretinoin off the internet. You’re welcome.
>isotretinoin
Pretty much this. All of these homosexuals larping about changing your diet don't know shit. Accutane essentially changes the cellular structure of your skin so that your pores are smaller and produce less oil. If you are afraid of the sides, you can do a low dose of like 5mg for a year.
you need to cut out parts of your diet one by one to see what might affect this
start fasting, 36 hours or more if you can, just to clear it up.
Make sure you're eating cleanly, no processed foods and high quality meat if beef source has to be grass fed, be very careful with chicken, very often unclean.
Good luck
>hygiene (I saw you’re already doing that)
>drink 2-3l of water/day (not sweetened, no extra vitamins/minerals, just water)
>eat clean: nothing fried, limit fats to a minimum possible
After a couple of weeks, go on a 3 day fast while only drinking water with some sat (look up on the internet how to do this)
Also
>do cardio regulary
>lift weights regularly
Chances are the problem you have is horomonal
carnivore diet with berries, sweet potato, and sourkrout
All these diet homosexuals are moronic, some of us just have to take accutane.
i think it's this. i have horrendous dandruff and i tried a million different natural remedies and none of them did shit. eventually have up and just use head and shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo before bed every day and i'm coping just fine.
Isotretinoin.
>Had acne like this
>Took absorica (isotretinoin) 10 years ago
>Cleared up 90%
>About 75-80% effective today, some bad ones occasionally
>In my 30s now
I consider myself lucky and didn't get any side effects except really weak and easily scarring skin for the 6 month cycle I was on it. Just be prepared for side effects, it's not like aspirin or something. You have to avoid the sun while you're on it.
Stop fricking around with IST broscience bullshit, go to a dermatologist and get prescribed accutane.
Accutane
What kind of soap do you wash with? If you're using strong soap consider switching it for something milder and fragrance free.
You might be getting acne because you're drying your skin out.
Also try benzoyl peroxide wash if you haven't, not the gel variant. Apply it in the shower every day and let it sit on your skin for about 2-3 minutes then rinse off with water.
Try to quit eating dairy and gluten for a period and see if it changes anything. Intolerance to dairy or gluten can cause inflammation.
If nothing works then get an appointment with a dermatologist.
Also consider 16:8 intermediate fasting. This can sometimes help with skin.
When you guys schedule to see a dermatologist is it normal to have to wait literally five entire months to get an appointment
I called to ask for an appointment in October and they said their first availability was in fricking February of 2024
I’m in California btw, is that normal for everywhere in America or just this shit hole
Normal
My wait is usually about 5 days to a week.
t. Ausc**t
those are hives anon. or at least that's what they look like to me.
Sauna.
/acne/ general?
Please help me how can I stop obsessively picking at my face
I have mild acne but always make my own breakouts 10x worse because I can’t stop picking at every zit obsessively
I’ll be sitting at my desk at work and suddenly I’ll just start mindlessly digging at every little zit I can possibly find
Even when I recognize I need to stop I keep doing it compulsively
Been doing this since I was in middle school, somehow I don’t have almost any scarring though
You have to squeeze the bacteria out so they don't colonize more skin. They will multiply and spread through your bloodstream and even go into your brain.
acutane, your shit is worse than normal
Cut out bread, then all grains/seeds, if those don't work cut out dairy. You should also stop jerking off and watching porn.
I'm going to fap to the picture you posted.
He's so sexy
try only fish and remove coffee & sugar for a few weeks, if that doesn't work try something else. that's what I did just potatoes/fruit/fish and everything cleared up alot but i was still breaking out here and there, finally removed coffee and that was the nail in the coffin for me. but just go to a dermatologist.
>diet imbeciles immediately enter to talk about grains and dairy
Stop. Just... stop. Stop forever.
See a dermatologist and ask about isotretinoin. Some people just have fricked skin and the only solution is the drug.
t. former cystic acne sufferer
I've had bacne for years into my 20s, did everything people recommend: clean shirt everyday, new shirt for each gym session, clean sheets every week tried various shower schedules and frequencies and especially cutting sugar and to a lesser extent cutting out carbs. While it did help slow down the development of spots, it didn't really lessen what was there.
OP, you sound like me and you need to make a skin care routine for your back. If you already have a routine for your fa e that works, it will likely help your back too. If not/it doesn't work, I would definitely try CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser. I bathe twice a week, but every day I rinse my back with water, rub in the cleanser, rinse it off with water, and then apply a moisturiser. It's very similar to dealing with acne on your face. I have been doing this for over a month and my back is noticeably better after years of little success.
Track your foods and systematically cut out things to see if it has a reaction. This is how I discovered I have a dairy allergy. It gives a painful, itchy rash on my neck and jaw. Ihad gone to a doctor about the rash already and it was absolutely no help, wanted to just give me a diuretic to see if it would help acne. So I took it into my own hands. I have had perfect skin ever since.
Also.... Tanning. Go lay outside in the sun or even in a tanning bed. Not to excess but maybe once a week or so.
People massively overestimate diet's influence on skin. In the vast majority of people if your diet is shit your skin is only going to be slightly worse than if your diet was literally perfect. Hardly noticeable. I guess it's because people want to convince themselves that their looks are totally within their power and improvement through easy choices like diet will fix everything, but skin is largely genetic. OP needs accutane if his back is anything like his image. No fricking diet is fixing that shit; it's an unfortunate genetic problem that needs hardcore medical treatment to deal with. Any dermatologist worth their salt would suggest accutane for this, especially after trying other things. Have a good diet for your general health's sake, but it's not going to make you significantly more attractive than if you just ate shit. Literal snake oil nonsense.
Food won't affect skin too much if anon has no sensitivities or allergies, but it's worth exploring that possibility bc that will definitely lead to breakouts, rashes, etc.
Anon needs to get to the bottom of what is causing this first and then go from there, whether it's Accutane or avoiding certain foods or detergents or whatever. There's not one answer for everyone
It is. But the relationship is more of food connected with microbiome, both with immune system and all three with skin. Tge issue is that people still focus on macros and have a fricked up idea of a gealthy food. If it doesn't contain fermented food on a daily based, it isn't healthy. If it includes any chemical that didn't exist a century ago, it isn't healthy.
This being said, even diet gays underestimate the importance of food for the skin.
get vitamin b5 from bulk supplements and take 5000mg 3 times per day with 25mg of zinc, it closes the pores in your skin like accutane does without side effects, wear a t shirt to bed and wash with african black soap. this is what worked for me.
Appreciate it all fellas, will filter the untried methods out (besides semen) and try them.
cut out dairy, have a fresh bedsheet and t-shirt on everyday, if these don't work take accutane. just make sure you don't touch acne prone skin with anything dirty, for example if you touch your face in anyway, wash your hands and dry with paper towel, not a 1 week old dirty towel.
>fresh bed sheet everyday
Do you perhaps work for a bed sheet company?
i work for a washing machine and laundry detergent company
Do you receive a share of the profits? Or are you hourly?
get your bloods done, check your DHT, and if it's high try fin prescription, I know it's mostly used for hair loss but high DHT = sebum = back/shoulder/chest acne, fixing the hormone excess can fix your shit
Stop drinking milk
Drink more water
Bruh he's not gonna water his way out of this. The dairy = acne shit is a meme as well. This is genetic. It's about the way his skin produces oils. He needs the goddamned accutane and needs it yesterday, quit with these meme recommendations it's cruel to him.
Before risking organ damage with Accutane I would suggest following a proper regimen with proper products, no substitutions and no mistakes.
You need to start the day with a hot steamy shower and sit in the steam for at least 30 minutes to an hour. Then take your Cerave Salycilic Acid cleanser and scrub it into your face and under your jaw line and up to yourself ears and hairline, with very firm-pressed circular motions for 30 seconds on each area of your face. You may experience dryness that will impede any scrubbing, just add some of the hot water on your fingers to lubricate and continue scrubbing as needed. Now you need to use cold water to wash away every area you scrubbed. Make no mistakes here, you must not leave product on your face, you must thoroughly wash it all away such that your skin doesn't 'skip' underneath your fingertips. Now apply Cerave retinol serum lightly and evenly on ALL of the same area of your face, do not make a thick layer. Now apply Cerave AM facial moisturizer lightly and evenly on ALL of the same area you have just added serum to. You are now done with your face for today until the evening in which you will apply the Cerave PM facial moisturizer to maintain the same area. This is your daily routine, make no mistakes, skip NO days, do not miss any steps. All must be completed as described every single time.
I got organ damage with accutane btw
It ruined my life tbhne dattebayo
>hot water
>salycilic acid cleanser
Both are a meme and will make acne worse. You're causing dryness which promotes overproduction of oils and clogged pores.
which doesn't happen when you do the retinoland moisturizing step, you're not leaving it dry for more than a matter of seconds.
Wash with a non-soap cleanser and gentle loofah, moisturize afterwards with a non-comedogenic lotion.
>I do
No you don't.
dermatologist
you're american and dont believe in health insurances?
dermatologist
you have some bacteria growing on your back and your skin can't handle it
Looks like a non-acne skin infection.
Also consider electrolysis.
use less detergent and run an extra rinse cycle doing your laundry, lingering detergents will frick up your skin oils
Accutane, which is essentially a ton of Vitamin A.
Imagine taking a paste scalp to your back. Imagine all the puss
Lay off the dairy chud and maybe work on your hygiene
Switch to all Cerave products. You are excessively irritating your skin with harsh soaps that likely contain sulphates and scent. You the cerave bar soap, apply a lactic acid based defoliant (like Prolactin) or a salicyclic acid lotion.
Or Cetaphil?
If you have recurring cysts that won't go away you likely need to start using hibiclens or some other chlorhexidine soap and make sure you exfoliate and moisturize as well.
carnivore diet
Doxycycline and low dose Accutane (Isotretinoin), Dutasteride if its hormonal.
Carnivore specifically with emphasis on real vitamin A (retinol from animal foods like eggs, liver, fish etc). I pretty much guarantee that fixes it, it reversed severe acne and eczema for a friend of mine.
It is both of these two, ignore all other posters.
Your immune system is busted and only meat & sun will fix that, and thus the skin will follow.
Btw it's not trivial to make these changes and I doubt any of you will be able to change without being convinced, so do your own research.
Getting a tan makes my backne go away every summer. I get you may not want to go outside shirtless like that, maybe try a tanning booth. Cheap first option.
