Anybody experienced that ?
Hi,
I have a very specific question about creatine. Seven years ago, when i was training hard I started taking creatine and I noticed that I got some large pimples appearing on my back and on top of the shoulders. With the timing and the very few other supplements i was taking (whey and glutamine), it seemed to be related to the creatine. My back skin was not perfect in the first place as I already got pimples from time to time but the skin condition became a lot worse than before after taking creatine. Now Im getting back in shape and I am a bit afraid to start taking creatine because of that... Did anybody else experienced the same thing with creatine ? Thanks!

Re: Anybody experienced that ?
no, and the creatine would not have anything to do with the pimpled, since creatine has no effects on testosterone.

I never said it was steroid, never even tought of that... It's just that I experienced that, and wanted to know if anyone else got this...maybe it wasn't related to creatine and I wish so, but at the time it seemed to be related.

it's funny how America has this perception that creatine is a steroid [/ QUOTE ] It has a pretty bad press in the UK too. Even amongst the medical profession. My Doctor " I would advise against anyone taking any course of creatine above and beyond that produced naturally by your body."

Re: Anybody experienced that ?
The creatine would not have directly caused your pimples. How old were you when this happened? A teen I'm guessing? The pimples were probably just due to normal teenage hormonal issues.

Re: Anybody experienced that ?
At the time I was like 19 or 20 years old.
From what I understand, when you take creatine you should drink more water... and what I think might have happened is that I wasn't drinking enough water while taking creatine. I always noticed that if I get dehydrated (even these days) it has a bad effect on my skin. Thanks guys for sharing your infos [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I'll give creatine another try soon !
