American man in pain and regret for using muscle-building stimulants

Although his muscles grew faster, James soon regretted it. The muscle stimulant caused severe acne and extreme pain, and he could not even sit.

Johnathon James lives in Texas (USA). Like many other young people, he regularly goes to the gym to work out. He works out 6 times a week, each session lasting at least 2 hours. Because he wanted his muscles to grow big and fast, he used steroids, according to the Daily Mail (UK).

Because using steroid muscle stimulants can cause many harmful effects to the body such as acne, hair loss, increased risk of heart disease and many other health problems.

Steroids come in two forms: oral and injectable. Although this muscle-building drug helps muscles grow quickly, it can cause many harmful health effects such as hair loss, cyst formation, acne and many other health problems. In severe cases, steroid abusers can experience heart problems and death.

In James' case, when he first started using steroids, his muscles grew faster than expected. However, the drug also left serious damage to his skin.

At first, James had some acne on his skin. He wanted to continue to build muscle, so he took steroids. Then the acne broke out and spread all over his body. His skin was covered with pimples, red spots and scars.

This condition causes the young man a lot of pain. In particular, his back is always sore, and his butt cannot sit because of the acne. When there is physical impact touching the acne, the pain only lasts for a few seconds and then gradually disappears. However, the pain is very intense.

"If I lie in the wrong position, put my back on the chair the wrong way, or if I'm in the shower and water splashes on my back, I get severe pain. The pain is so bad that it makes my eyes blurry and my ears ring," James shared.

James went to see a dermatologist for treatment. To warn people about the dangers of steroids, James shared his story in a TikTok video that has attracted 14.8 million views.

Studies show that steroid abuse can cause acne breakouts. Because when using steroids, this muscle-building drug will cause the body to produce more TLR2 immune receptors. High levels of TLR2 receptors will cause an inflammatory reaction on the skin. This inflammatory reaction combined with the overgrowth of acne-causing bacteria Propionibacterium acnes lurking under the skin will cause acne. Not only that, steroids also cause hormonal imbalance, stimulating the skin to secrete oil. This condition also leads to acne, according to Daily Mail.
