Acne

[homestead]

I have been using steroids for a year now and developed bad acne on shoulders and back, what can i do about this problem

[scotty51312]

how old are you?

Lots of people will tell you to start taking acutane at a low dose. I'd start with the topical route. salicylic acid washes work for a lot of people.

Cleocin is a prescription topical that works well if you want to see a doc.

Some people won't agree with this but some times just plain rubbing alcohol used once every day can help

Get your e2 in check. Get yourself some lequidex or letro depending on how bad it is. Also use some topical shit as well and you should be good to go.

Been using for about a year? I'm guessing someone is young and uninformed, did little to no research before starting besides bro info.

What are your stats?
Age:
Height:
Weight:
Body Fat:
Gym/Training experience:
Diet experience:
Cycle or Pro Hormone experience:
Goals?

I have had some bad acne from only HRT. I used 1.5ML every 2 weeks or 300MG. Now I just recently went to weekly doses of 1ML/200MG. Here is what I have found but I think we all have different things that work meaning you and I but clearly what works for me can work for others as well.

First off the more I shave the less I get. No idea why.

Second I tried everything like Proactive with so so results because it was best if I kept my face shaved often.

Third and the most recent is something I just happened to read and there were some positive and plenty people saying its bullshit. I can tell you whatever anyone may say and yes it may not help you is I take NOW Pantothenic Acid also known as Vitamin B5(B Complex Vitamin) I take one a day, not sure if taking 2 would be better or safe. I never checked.

So my friend just asked what I did because my face is so much more clear. Not perfect but dude it would sometimes get bad. I still get some but even before I went weekly it improved.

It is always at its best after I shave. Last week I was like wow no splotches.

Just have to say it again. It may not help everyone but it helped me. If it's a placebo effect lol I would say wow but it's not gonna erase it all but hey it's worth a shot. I still clean my face and all.

I also added another substance to my regimen that can cause acne and it hasn't added any. Just gotta take that pill every day for me.

Good luck!

Note: my e2 has always been in check but I know my pimples would always flare up 2-3 days prior to my next Test shot showing it's clearly hormones.

If you are taking this gear for a year non stop and dont know what is e2, you should be worried with a lot more than acne...

[lovbyts]

Wow, what a jumbled mess. Whoever told you to run things that way stay away from them. Read the sticky notes at the top like the 1st cycle planning. It will explain a lot.

Ok, so what is e2? And what else should I be worried about, I recently had blood work done and all came back normal except I was a little low on vitamin D

Thanks for the help

E2 is the main estrogen, also called estradiol.
What was your e2 value in the recently blood work?

[homestead]

In the standard blood work what was the cholesterol and hematocrit values?

Hematocrit 53.6
Cholesterol 122

Potential complications of polycythemia vera is increased levels of circulating red blood cells, which increases the thickness or viscosity of the blood. This can be associated with higher risk of thrombus or clot formation leading to strokes, heart attacks, pulmonary embolism, and possibly death.
Another complication of polycythemia vera is the potential transformation into a blood cancer (leukemia), excessive bleeding (hemorrhage), or clotting problems.

estrogen... and when you go for blood work you have to ask them to test for test levels and estrogen... then dont just test for everything when you go for general blood work....

I assume your not using an antiestrogen?

His hematocrit is at 53.6 and for him is normal ?!?!?! Why would he use antiestrogen?? lol

This is the kind of ppl that give steroids a bad name!

Sometimes I wonder if there is this many trolls out there or what

I was starting to get anxiety

Thanks for the relief

Your hormones are prob. so out of wack... If you haven't been taking an AI then your Estrogen levels are prob. all messed up possibly causing the severe acne issues you're having. Also, you need to donate blood ASAP as your Hematocrit levels are rather high. This can be a VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM so don't take this lightly. You NEED to get that number down. Do you feel sluggish and/or tired? Have trouble doing cardio etc? This "can be" signs of elevated numbers.

You should do a search for Power PCT and really give that a go and get off this cycle ASAP. You will most likely end up on TRT for the rest of you life with the damage you've done to your HPTA system. Hopefully, you won't have erectile issues but more than likely your Test levels will never rebound.

This is what I've been trying to tell you
High red cells count, called polycythemia, can be very serious. Tried to tell you that a few posts back, read the link.
Besides that theres an array of other complications you may suffer if you continue this nonsense.
Like I said before acne is the least of your problems.

I agree with this 1000%. Getting that cell count down needs to be your #1 priority. I would get to a bloodbank TODAY. The problem is most won't allow you to donate above a 50. If that's the case you will need to get a script from your Dr. for a Theraputic Plabotomy. Seriously, don't mess with this as we truly don't want to see anything serious happen to you. You then need to get off this cycle ASAP and get your body back to normal. A typical cycle is 12 weeks plus PCT and time off between cycles = time on plus PCT which is how long you need to wait between cycles. In your case you've been on for a year so I wouldn't go back on for a LONG time but would run bloodwork 6 weeks after PCT and then prob. 12 weeks post PCT as well. Chances are you will never recover from this terrible cycle.
