How long out of the water for RK?

Surfed as normal, wear a surfcap and it’s good to go.
Sun avoidance is the main thing. It hurts more iin the sun. Cover up with common sense.

Ps. You look like a character from The Walking Dead.

FR I use a combination of Efudix and Daivobet creams. You need a prescription for both. I do the process twice a year which is 4 days of applying both creams in the morning and again at night. Efudix goes on first and then the Daivobet. Usually clears up after about two weeks then straight back in the water. The combination of creams works much faster than just the Efudix by itself. It’s important to stay out of the midday sun during and after the treatment.

Yeah, I have the combination cream O2- got it made up at a compounding chemist.

It's efudix and daivobet mixed together.

I believe it (peptide) is with prescription. Pretty sure a banned substance for professional athletes. I want to get on top of a muscle tear injury and some other niggles before upcoming surftrip. Meant to accelerate healing recovery. joe Rogan was talking it up.

They're banned, as they should be.

Low-T Joe Rogan has been pumping himself full of testosterone for close to 20 years, and whether he's been taking straight HGH or just peptides (used to boost HGH), the side effects can be the same: Organ enlargement, screwed up hormone balance once you stop taking it, auto-immune reactions and increased risk of diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. (btw, his "bubble-gut" is a tell-tale sign of taking HGH).
So yeah, he's about the last guy I'd listen to when it comes to health advice. Or pretty much anything else for that matter.

Thanks for the feedback/ info Mick and Dash.
i ain't going to follow up with it. Injury is coming good- slowly but getting there.
cheers though

A mate's done a course of whatever that particular prescription peptide is twice. Had great recovery from footy, could bend down and pick up kids pain free a day later whereas normally couldn't for a week or two, however back to normal discomfort levels post treatments. Wouldn't do again. Possibly has it's place in targeted recovery from specific injuries, though not sure it's a great long term solution for anything.

*Edit. (He also got sick of booting up 2 or 3 times a day. It's a commitment. (Into stomach fat, not veins.))
