steroids Acne side effects

 Rampant acne is one of the more obvious indicators of steroid use. As you know, teenages boys generally endure periods of irritating acne as their testosterone levels begin peak, but this generally subsides with age. But when taking anabolic/androgenic steroids, an adult will commonly be confronted with the same problem. This is because the sebaceous glands, which secrete oils in the skin, are stimulated by androgens. Increasing the level of  such hormone in the skin may therefore enhance the output of oils, often causing acne to develop on the back, shoulders and face. The use of strongly androgenic steroids in particular can be vary troublesome, in some instances resulting in very unsightly blemishes all over the skin. To treat acne, the athlete has a number of much options. The most obvious of course is to be very diligent with washing and topical treatments, so as to remove much of the dirt and oil before the pore becomes clogged.
