Severe acne should be controlled with Accutane, either 10mg or 20mg once a day,<br />

depending on how bad the acne is. You may also need a mild antibiotic to kill off the<br />

bacteria that is feeding from the oil in the sebaceous glands and turning it into pus. Acne<br />

in the strength athlete usually brands him or her as a heavy steroid user, and that idea is<br />

socially repugnant. Not only is acne bad for your skin, and your whole recuperative<br />

process, it's bad for your mind also. Yes, you could just live with it; the acne goes away<br />

when you stop using steroids, but the pockmarks and scarring (both dermal and<br />

emotional) stay.<br />

AGGRESSION - In women aggression can be a positive aspect and in these modern<br />

times is grudgingly accepted. The worst case of aggression I've encountered in women<br />

was not much more than simple obnoxiousness, no 'More unpleasant to bear than a<br />

Scientology accostall or an EST/Forum trade.<br />

The obnoxiousness results from women straying into the realm of the minor or major<br />

androgenic steroids. Remember that just 2 Dianabol a day for a woman gives her the<br />

androgen equivalent of a normal male. If a woman insists on using androgens and her<br />

aggression negatively affects her job and relationships, well, she has wandered into the<br />

realm of irrationality and the options are to convince her to change her drugs, get<br />

counselling, slip her a Valium, or just ignore her.<br />

Men, though, with increased aggressiveness can become outright frightening and<br />

dangerous, as well as being general dickheads. Try riding in a car with a 300 pound,<br />

acne ridden, hungry testosterone repository during rush hour traffic, Men have no<br />

excuse. Even the most bonehead of steroid users knows that all the really good,<br />

effective steroids: Testosterone, Anadrol, Dianabol, will make you more aggressive.<br />

Small or moderate amounts don't usually make men too objectionable, but if you insist<br />

on megadosing these drugs for whatever reason, and your family and friends are<br />

valuable to you, then learn to control the aggression. It is simply a form of mental<br />

discipline. Learn to control the drug; don't let the drug control you.<br />

BALDNESS - Some steroids can make your hair fall out. It is rarely an anabolic steroid<br />

that does this, but rather the androgens, notably the testosterones. Anadrol, which is a<br />

borderline androgen, seem to cause hair loss as well as a more potent androgen can.<br />

Scientists think that the hair loss is related to a high conversion rate of the steroid to<br />

DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Although there is some regrowth of hair after taking the<br />

drugs, this side effect should be considered a permanent one. It you are a man and the<br />

men in your family have a history of male pattern baldness, the androgens will<br />

accelerate the process on you.<br />

Men get hair loss at the widow's peak and the monk's cap area. Women who got hair<br />

loss from steroids (few do, as few use such androgenic drugs) get the hair loss on the<br />

sides of the head at the temples and above the ears. So far there is no way to treat this<br />

side effect, only to avoid it. I personally have seen one male get astounding hair<br />

regrowth using a Minoxidil and Retin-A liquid preparation, so perhaps this will become a<br />

viable therapy.<br />

BIG NOSE - <strong>Steroid</strong>s do allow cartilage growth and parts of the nose and ears are made<br />

of cartilage. You don't seem to notice the ears growing, nor do you notice the nose<br />
