Estrogen Related Cystic Acne

Is there a connection between cystic acne and too much estrogen? For example if you are on a 750mg per week test and dont use an anti E till week 8, will you see acne you wouldnt see if you started the antie E early?

acne totally depends on the person taking it...i would say if you are prone to acne, you would start seeing it (or more of it) way before wk 8..and taking an anti-e or not taking one doesnt make a difference

I heard acne is related to estrogen and fluctuating hormones and that a good estrogen blocker (ldex for example) can hold acne sides at bay as well as correct injections times of the particular esters of AAS.

what about nolva?

actually, estrogen can sometimes be the reason that acne gets better in some girls..this is why some docs recommend birth control pills to girls for the treatment of acne because the pills have the estrogen in them

ever noticed how a girls acne gets better/worse as she goes through her monthly meunstral cycle? this is due to the fluctuating estreogen hormones in her body

i think this relates to the levels of androgens in the body being more stable because you're injecting at the "correct times" (ie test c every 3.5 days)..because fluctuating androgens are a culprit of acne formation
