I am also on week 5 of test e and my skin is also a little red. Almost looks like a mild sunburn. If I take my finger and push on my skin it will turn white for a few seconds like a sunburn. Don't know what is causing it.

Just asked my wife about the redness and she said that she noticed it too. Are you taking anything else? I take proviron and gh also, along with some prescibed stuff like prevacid and remeron. Got to be something in there we have in common besides the test I would think.

i myself am very sensitive to cold weather/wind. just a little bit leaves me with redness for 2 hours later until my body readjusts to the warmth of being inside again.

**eGGz** · 11-03-2005, 10:52 AM

I get redish when on cycle. I just figure its part of the game.

I have the same...pretty sure it's from high red blood cells. happens on most gear. correct me if I'm mistaking

**shortie** · 11-03-2005, 10:55 AM

Could be from erythroposis, but IMO test is not that strong at this and esp at those doses, prob increased body temp due to a higher androgen concentration in the body.

**justtrnd40** · 11-03-2005, 12:55 PM

If it has happend to others I am not going to sweat it. Hey, my ass isn't pure white.

**AG5678** · 11-03-2005, 04:17 PM

The reason your getting red is becuase steroids increase the production of red blood cells. (Nothing harmful to your body)

**wolar32** · 11-03-2005, 04:55 PM

There is a similar condition called Red Man's Syndrome. It could be secondary to polycythemia. You would present with any of the following symptoms: red, flushed skin, pruritis (itching, especially after bathing), dizziness, headcache,blood shot-eyes and blurred vision.

I have this condition and it is directly related to AAS use. I frequently have people asking me if I am sunburned. You can test for this by simply having your Dr. obtain blood and measure your hematocrit.

Is it permanent or does it subside when the cycle is over?

RBC count is nothing to fool around with. Think of it as your blood being like motor oil. Always get blood work done. High RBC can be a silent killer over a long period of time.

**BUYLONGTERM** · 11-03-2005, 05:48 PM

Btw, same thing happens to me while on test. When I go see my dr., he always like "stay out of the sun, it's bad for you", I tell him I haven't been in the sun!!!!

**wolar32** · 11-03-2005, 08:59 PM

It will subside once the androgens leave your system and rbc production is normal. It sounds like your case is mild compared to mine. I look like a tomato sometimes. I try and use the tanners to hide it a little.
