    Unhappy post cycle acne

    I recently finished an 8 week cycle of winny 50mg/ml and prop 100mg/ml EOD in early January and by the middle of Feb. I started to breakout a lot on my face in certain areas and my back and a little on the chest and it seem to be getting worse. I never had acne this bad before. Is it because of the test, and now my hormones are all out of wack? How along until it’s over, usually? Is there anything that may help? Has any one else experienced this? This is really getting to me. Thanks guys in advance for any comments or advice.

    I would lean towards Dawn because what is going to get rid of the acne is what cuts oil down. When you are on steroids or on PCT, your skin is hyper oily, getting rid of the oil is going to keep the pores open and clear. Dawn is best, Joy is second but not as good as dawn, everything else is not necessarily going to do what you want it do when fighting acne.

    Yeah it is at its worst at the end of a cycle the test levels plummit and your body starts doing some funky stuff. Make sure to go tanning as this will help to dry out the skin. This is a side most of us have to deal with.

    accutane is a pretty serious drug so do not go for it unless all else fails.

    It is completely normal to get acne at the end of a cycle. I get it big time during Ptc. It is one of the costs of using test for me. That is why I am going to try a non test cycle next as it is hard for a 40 year old guy to explain the zits of a 17 yr old.

    Like the guys said above, dawn dish soap and time. Once your hormonse balance out again, you will be OK. It take a month or so. If you find after a few months, no change, then go the Accutane route, but you should be OK long before then.

    What fixed it for me was using one of those natural sponges every day to ensure the oil buildup never stayed in my pores, and I tanned 3 or 4 times a week to dry out my skin (I actually try to do that all the time). everyone reacts differently but the advice above will get you on track, but all I need now is that sponge in the shower to exfoliate my skin and keep it open.

    dab a warm cloth on your face 2 times a day that helps.
