Well I didnt have any acne when I was on cycle... when I did my PCT I exploded with acne, I believe my testosterone is back to normal as my PCT was 6 weeks ago but the dog gone acne is worst then ever and get this, I never had much acne as a teenager. I never had much acne at all until now... now I have at least 35 scabs on my arms, back and shoulders and the pimples get so much puss, they pop on their own, no need to help them out. I have even done the tan salon thing, it hasnt helped.

Let me tell you, have you ever seen pictures of someone with small pox? Or do you remember having chicken pox? This is my back, you'd almost think I had chicken pox, I mean there are like 10 pimples per square inch and its not even funny and I smell like a drunk because I am splashing whole bottles of rubbing alcohol on my back trying to get some relief from the acne.

Basically if you are on roids now... well you've earned your due when you go into PCT. My PCT acne is so bad its worth not doing a cycle again to avoid it.

Well my PCT is different too I must say. I went on a newly available herbal when I went into PCT called Tongkat Ali and I believe this stuff is as potent as HCG when it comes to boosting your natural testosterone levels . I am riding some good high testosterone simptoms off this tongkat and the way I understand constantly changing testosterone levels causes the acne so I think at some point I plunged to near zero and then back on the upward build with testosterone and havent stabilized. But one thing is for sure, the acne all started the first moment my test levels dropped as a result of transitioning into PCT.

The other thing is, I had to take Nolva tonight, my nipples are getting noticably pointy, itchy and irritated just like when I needed start anti-e's when on steroid cycle. Its very clear to me that Tongkat can elevate your testosterone into levels that can cause estrogen conversion and gyno.

So you didn't use clomid bro?Just the herbal therapy.

actually PCT is one of the most common causes of acne- because serms are employed.

not to mention the shift in T/E ratio (serms are still E)

I did clomid 2 weeks after last injection and did that for 3 weeks. I quit the clomid 3 weeks ago but since its liquid clomid and I have liquid nolva, I have plenty of left over stock on hand. My nutz grew back so quickly and the sex drive came back with such force I sort of lost interest in the clomid so on the 3rd week I think I forgot to take it every other day and then just didnt worry about it. Sex drive has continued to be incredibly strong and I am in the 6th week of Tongkat ali. In fact I like the tongkat so much I just ordered in a 7 month supply!!

some of my buddies can take tren and test e and have no problems with acne, and then explode during and after their clomid

Well i'd reccomend getting on some doxycycline now before you hit up PCT and it shouldn't be too bad. If you can't get this from your source, try going to the dermatalogist and see if you can't get him to write you a script for it. Its a very common medicine for acne so it shouldn't be to hard to get.

I would avoid taking accutane unless you end up with full blown acne and i mean on face and all over your back. The sides just aren't worth it unless you absolutely need it. Good luck.

I had little or no acne during cycle but during PCT it was a different story. Your hormones are re-adjusting.

**Billmister** · 02-17-2004, 08:38 AM

this only happend to me once when i used sus... I got somewhat pretty big.. end of my cycle after the pct... so much acne, i was embarest to show off.
