Suggest Me Treatment For Acne On Arms And Shoulders As Lidoderm Patches Nor B Complex Worked?
Yes. My wife has been giving me testosteron, Bcomplex and B3 injections in the quad muscles. It went fine for almost 3 months. The 2nd to the last shot cause debilitating soreness, to the point I had great difficulty walking. There was minor flushing of the skin in the area, but it didn t travel like an injection. It happened again this week. Also, I m breaking out in acne all over my arms, neck and shoulders. I wrapped the thigh, and put novocaine patches on. I don t knoww id they helped. Correction; they were Lidoderm patches Should I try the shoulders or buttocks?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of acne on arms and shoulders which occurs when sebum get accumulated along with dead skin and bacteria in clogged pore of sebaceous gland. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to use of topical antibacterial clindamycin gel as a spot treatment for acne during day time and at night you may use a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel. Exfoliate your skin one a week to remove the dead skin from your face. If condition doesn't start getting better in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may prescribe oral antibiotic course clindamycin or isotretinoin.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
