crystal - acne ???

[tractorboy]

...been using tina for 'bout a year......(on the weekends only)
a few months ago I started breaking out on my back, some nasty acne....could this be from tina ?????
The first time I had acne was from steroids, that went away, then this came on.This is not good.

[Ximot]

perfectly possible.

acne is your body's way of detoxing and of saying "i am not too well." where you get it depends on the body you have... back, face, bum... everyone is different. your liver is taxed and your system is tired.

give it a rest, have plenty of sleep, and good nutrition along with a good diet, and it will most likely clear over time.

[WhiteRyan]

Yup yup, you got it right DING DING DING...But on a serious note excessive masterbation causes bad facial acne. Not joking, my doctor told me to not play with myself as much one time

[discobloodbath]

your doctor is an idiot for saying that

[Curtains]

haha thats the funniest thing i heard all day

[tractorboy]

thanx for the responses.
I have been to determologist and got some antibiotics and body wash.
Luckily it is only on my back for some reason. Will try to lighten my use, and hopefully it will reside.

[WhiteRyan]

Really Excessive masterbation causes some weird facial acne, and sex actually gives your face a glow. Something to do with hormone release. And personally thats the only time I get acne. And stopping makes it clear up.

[joevette]

Most of the time acne is caused by hormonal imbalances. So when you use steroids and your hormones are all out of whack acne can appear. Or if you jack it too much that causes hormone fluctuations.

[Antidote]

I've heard acne from crystal called "speed bumps"> Kind of an odd term!

[jduba]

SPEED BUMPS=BITCH They are the devil im convinced! Now trying to quit and the biggest downside is I have acne for he first time in my life

[Triple7]

I met a nurse, and she told me I better fuck her if I want to reduce
acne... now, where is there such a nurse to tell me such thing???



Pherhaps you should start drinking more water to clean your body. I've
also heard that it has to do with the liver when one gets zits from
something else than hormones.



Tetracycline may help you. There are different tetracyclines, ask your
doctor about the correct one. If you live in Sweden, try to get some
Stioxyl and Skinoren, these are creams that contain Benzoylperoxide and
1,7-hepanedicarboxylic acid.



Pop your zits, I think it is good... using a sharp needle is even better.</span></font> Skinoren is very good if you pop your zits, it will heal your skin without leaving scars.

[tractorboy]

All my zits were on my back and they are clearing up a lot. I have the big ones popped then by the next day they are gone. Tanning helps a lot, and the body wash works good.

I have been doing light lines on the weekend, still get a great high, and no new zits have been appearing. So that is a good thing.
Drinking loads of water I believe has helped as well.

thanx all for answeing me.

<DIV>Ya i've heard that doing stimulants can definitely cause acne, which is really shitty. It seems like anytime your body is under too much stress acne is going to show up unless you are just one of the lucky ones. Alcohol definitely can cause it also, the combo of being dehydrated, liver stressed out, and just being flat out drunk is not good.</DIV>

[P!MPJU!C3]

Acne sucks, It use to be a big problem 4 me. Im really fit now do to eating less and working out excessively. Now i dont have any problem with acne anymore. Working out with kreatine is cool. Its not really a steroid being that itll keep u healthy. Steroids are no good in the long run.

[tweakerfrommars]

I didn't start developing acne from tweak until I was doing it everyday, which wouldclear up if I laid off for a few days. At one point I did develop these weird sores on the back of my neck (which is what I personally referred to as speedbumps) which would constantly sting and itch. After I quit, the stinging and itching subsided but the sores left permanent scars, now looking like small moles or something.

[Gas Da ShizzO]

When I get tweaked out I would go to town on my face and bruise the shit out of it from popin my zits to hard,pinching the skin trying to pop pimples..day after i look like a tweaker for sure...I try to hide it mostly...

[ChemLab]

heh Yeh I had that problem when i first started Injection Meth, I would be doing it everyday so me and my girlfriend would just sit around the house and not leave, coming down i would find myself infront of the mirror sqeezing zits and zoning out and be their for like 2 hours scaring my face, luckily ive managed to cut down meth to recreationally these days and I enjoy it alot more but for me it was like some sort of drug psychosis where i thought their was shit under my skin when their wasnt.

[brandonBOYDrox]

i am opposite...my face seems to get more acne when i lay off the meth.
but it does look a lot more unhealthy when i do it a lot... like dried
out and peeling. im sure it only gets worse when i don't do it just
because i will sleep a lot and get lazy about washing my face.

[tractorboy]

Well after a night of meth SWIM will take a hot shower and drink lotsa water. My back is like 89% clear, just a few bumps here and there, nothing to terrible.

using those stridex pads really helped alot , they are cheap and easy to use.

[Nadia Snow]

the drugs are seeping out of your pores


they taught me that in rehab


thats what happens when you're ingesting a drug thats made with starter fluid, acetone, red phosphorus,... esp. in excessive amounts


it may also be a reaction from the mysterious ingredients used to cut the powdered form of meth


make sure you take care of your teeth!

[asystole]

I am far too skeptical I think, haha. I can't get any sort of worthwhile lesson out of any of these articles... ^


Working where I do, I have access to the meth training video put out by the RCMP "K" Div, Drug Task Force. This video is shown to drug councillors, ect. and since there is such an important name attached to it, it is taken as gospel. I was able to watch it, and it is purely bullshit. Instead of the RCMP lying or speaking in generalities, their new tactic is to show interviews with addicts. We all know tweakers tend to talk out their ass once in a while, but this is rediculous.


As I watched addicts with names such as "Shakes" and "Stoned" tell their stories in front of a graffiti covered wall, I picked up on a lot of things I *thought* were not right, but then the main interviewee is shown, and he's totally flailing. Turns out I went to school with this guy and hung out with his friends... and since I know the stupid soap opera his life is, I know WITHOUT DOUBT that he was telling flat out lies. Some of them aren't even physiologically possible. You can almost SEE his brain flailing a story together as he is telling it. Nobody contests what he says, and it is assumed to be true since it is an RCMP video!


ANYWAYS sorry that link reminded me and I had to rant. I can try scam the video again and rip it if anyone wants it...


ABOUT THE ACNE


SWIM noticed bumps too, however they are not acne. They are a lot deeper and don't seem to be purulent. Since SWIM has 2% xylocaine w/o epi, anda sterile minor surgery tray (tray being the actual tray AND tools too ) the bump was excised and sutured by himself, and there was no discernable meth-containing cyst or anything...


I was thinking though, meth is definately an irritant to soft tissue... and you can do a hair strand drug test for meth. Perhaps it is folliculitis? If trace amphetamines were in the new hair,maybe the follicle would become irritated andswollen.Due to swelling thefolliclecloses around the hair more and the hair becomes ingrown. Then, the amphetamineAND hair are sitting under the skin and become infected.


Maybe it makes sense, I'llthink about it again after I sleep for 36 hours or so

I have been researching SWIM's skin problems on the internet and what you are saying is exactly the answer that I came up with, but I've never had another phetti user agree. SWIM is wondering if laser hair removal on her face would improve acne? Any theories or advice on this? All comments (except "stop using") welcomed and appreciated.

[antigenesis]

Try drinking an assload of cranberry juice to help clear up that
acne. Asystole, that theory about the trace residue in the hair
makes a whole lot of sense, spread that around and see what people
think.
