acne sufferers and tren

**guns626** · 05-04-2006, 10:29 AM

Alright bro, those of you who have run multiple cycles and get acne(namely bacne and chest acne), did you notice it being worse when running tren ? I have ran 3 cycles. The one I broke out one the worst was a d-bol, test and deca cycle. I got horrible cystic bacne and chest acne. I was wondering if it was the nor-19. Therefore I want to know what you guys have experienced with the use of tren. Did you notice and increase with acne when using this compound or was it about the same as with other compounds?

everyone reacts different on those...i dont get acne from tren , but i do get it from anavar (which should be mild)..just give it a try..

my story:

did short cycles with prop and tren and a little bit of tbol on last cycle. (2 weekers)

Prop alone went well. More greasy skin, but was ok.

Tren first cycle, mild acne. Second cycle some nasty shite. Third cycle, absolutely shambles. Nodules deeeep in my back and arms, and chest as well, face was mostly ok.

4th cycle, while on accutane (had just started so it wasnt doin much). I injected prop, seemed ok. THen I injected tren 3 times...(some leftover I had)...acne went berserk after 4 days. Stopped tren, 4 days later started going away. Rest of cycle was ok.

I got really bad red welts with tren.

For me...it's a nono...I really loved it, best aas I ever tried (I only ran it at 50mg eod for 2.5 weeks lol, ad it was amazing).

Take from that what you will...but if u do tren (in your current state) have accutane ready imo.

did the accutane keep the rest of your cycle acne in check? what were your doses?

I get bad acne from tren ..... ran it twice and both times I got it. I will never run it again. No other compound I have ran has ever done what tren did. Takes months to clear up.

Tren seems to be the androgen people report severe acne with. Really puts me off using it.

Get some extra tanning in. Shower lots.

It's not going to cut it.........

**oswaldosalcedo** · 05-05-2006, 07:41 PM

accutane or isotrex.

too early for me to say...I'm only 6 days into my cycle...no acne or oily skin to speak of. noticed a little shorter fuse mentally but that's it. sleep is okay. I shower 2xday and definitely use a back scrubber for shoulders and back (that's where I got it during my first cycle pct)

Yeah, tren doesn't flare acne up for me until PCT time and then bam it's one day I'm clear and then next tons of acne.......... This time I was lucky I didn't run as high of a dosage so the acne didn't last as long and I cleared up a lot sooner then the first time. But still mentally it hurts you.

Evidence for decreased androgen 5 alpha-reduction in skin and liver of men with severe acne after 13-cis-retinoic acid treatment.

Boudou P, Chivot M, Vexiau P, Soliman H, Villette JM, Julien R, Belanger A, Fiet J.

Department of Hormonal Biology, Saint-Louis University Hospital, Paris, France.

To investigate the effect of 13-cis-retinoic acid (13-cis-RA) treatment on androgen metabolism in men with severe nodulocystic acne, eight men with severe acne received an oral daily dose of 0.7 mg/kg 13-cis-RA over 3 months. Exploration of androgen metabolism in serum samples, 24-h urine collections, and skin biopsies obtained before and at the end of the treatment revealed no significant alterations in serum levels of either adrenal or gonadal androgens. However, the treatment did induce significant decreases in serum levels of the 5 alpha-reduced androgens: 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (P < 0.02), androsterone glucosiduronate (P < 0.04), and 5 alpha-androstan-3 alpha, 17 beta-diol glucosiduronate (P < 0.004). Unlike serum, the urinary 5 alpha-reduced metabolites 5 alpha-androstan-3 alpha, 17 beta-diol and androsterone did not vary significantly despite a decrease in the excretion of the latter. Moreover, a marginally significant increase in urinary excretion of etiocholanolone, very similar to the decrease in androsterone excretion, was observed. The ratio of androsterone to etiocholanolone decreased significantly (P < 0.004) after 13-cis-RA therapy and suggested a metabolic deviation from the androgen 5 alpha- to 5 beta-reduction pathway in the liver. The most pronounced effect was observed in skin biopsies, which lost 80% of their ability to form 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (P < 0.001). It is concluded that 13-cis-RA therapy in men with severe nodulocystic acne did not alter gonadal or adrenal functions, but it did induce 1) a highly significant decrease in 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone formation by skin biopsies; 2) significant decreases in serum 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone, androsterone glucosiduronate, and 5 alpha-androstan-3 alpha, 17 beta-diol glucosiduronate; and, finally, 3) deviation of the liver androgen 5 alpha- to 5 beta-reduction pathway. The effect of 13-cis-RA treatment on severe acne is consistent with the dramatic decrease in androgen 5 alpha-reduction observed mainly in the skin.
