The side effects of steroids have been known for years. One of the most common and popular steroids used over the past few decades is Dianabol (D-Bol), this is the brand name for the steroid compound Methandrostenolone.
Dianabol is a strong anabolic steroid with the typical androgenic qualities.
It is notorious throughout the bodybuilding community for the shear amount of mass it enables the user to gain in a short period of time.
A big part of this mass gained, however, is due to the water retention qualities of the anabolic steroid. The body holds on to a lot of water and causes bloating of the body, neck and face. These sort of weight gains are not muscular and so will shed instantly the moment the steroid cycle is over.
On top of the water retention, Dianabol stimulates the Sebaceous gland and can cause acne and oily skin as well as excess hair growth.
