I have my nolva and vitamin E for my pct but if i was to stop now how long would i run the pct cus i am not finishing my cycle. Also what affects would that one week have on my body, are my test levels reduced after one week? Becus if i am gonna have ne sides i will jus deal with the acne and finish the cycle.

Is this your 1st cycle? Maybe you should preserver a bit longer. Its said that usually the 1st week acne is worst on cycle. It may settle down, you could try using benzyl peroxide in the manner described here
http://www.acne.org/regimen.html
It did wonders for me.

If you are able to get a dermatologist to prescribe you some cortisone tablets that should clear you up very quickly, you cant stay on them long term though. Then you could take an antibiotic like Alprim (Trimethoprim) & by the time your off the cortisone the Alprim should be working and keep you clear.

In just 1 week at that dose your natural testosterone production will not have shut down you possibly could almost get away with no PCT in my opinion. See what other people think though.

Hope that helps, good luck.

Like I said before you will not really have any negative feed back loop issues so early on in your cycle, you should be fine. Though it will takes a few weeks to completely be rid of the excess testosterone your body will not be knocked around too much.

you should be good with no pct after only going for a week

Wow you have your acne prevention down to a "T"! I love you for posting that information, as I can use it as well.
I hate back'ne

No problem, I have been dealing with acne for around 7 years and through trial and error have it very under control now. People tell me I have great skin and would never guess how bad it used to be. Its even clear on cycle.

I find backne responds to the same sorts of treatment as face acne, but I usually see results quicker in the face. Likewise if somethings inflames my acne my face breaks out before my back. Its also much harder to reach if applying creams, even harder when you are a wide latt'ed bodybuilder.
(I realise latt'ed is not a word, it means having wide latts)

stoney_creek I forgot to mention have you tried using Nizoral (ketoconazole) shampoo where you are getting the acne? it is an anti androgen and as well as preventing hair loss its seems to help with face and body androgen related acne.

Just tough it out bro, Acne comes with the territory. Take Micks advice and go see a dermatologist. When I started my cycle a couple weeks ago I started to break out again. The only thing I did was go out in the sun and hit the hot tub. Chlorine kills Acne.

I was not specifically aware of clorines positives on acne, but salt water is said to help. Salts effectiveness in treating acne has been long documented, and interestingly salt (as sodium chloride) is composed of sodium and chloride, and chloride is a form of chlorine so I guess its not surprising that both could be effective at clearing up your skin.

The catch with tanning and acne is often although initially the uv light will dry up your skin improving acne, there is a rebound effect and you body produces even more sebum than before.
