Scientific Rx: It sounds like you're a bodybuilder and that's great. And your acne can be managed scientifically. If topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you in two weeks (and it if's face-only, it probably will clear you), get with your personal physician for some prescription-strength rx you can take with it. Whey and creatine aren't the cause -- they're healthy for fitness guys like yourself.
