    Major Acne problem during cycle

    I'm currently on 600 mg Deca and 750 mg of Test Enth and 2.03 GH per week.
    About halfway through my cycle my back began to break out very bad. Can't even take my shirt off for fear I'll gross everyone out. I've never had the problem during previous cycles. Is there something I can do to help clear it up while on this cycle or must I wait until I am off this cycle for it to go away?

    Try using Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) - its just a B vitamin and available at any health food store, relatively cheap. Load that for a few days & see if it makes a difference. Also the usual - showers, use clean regular soap, hit the tannign booth, etc.

    go to your doctor and get a prescription..have him look at it and get some doxycycline, that clears it up...also use an antibacteria dish soap and scrub your back with it in the shower.

    Are you running anti-e's. Controlling estrogen will also help with acne. Also, you can try running 10g of b5. If that doesn't work go to the derm.

    What really worked GREAT for me was using nizoral 2-3 times a day as bodywash and taking 5g vitamin B5/ed. The B5 takes 3-4 weeks to saturate your system and really start to clear you up, but it does work and it seriously kicks ass.

    Also a strong bump on the anti-e suggestion, if you are not on them it is probably a lot of the problem.

    Not trying to step on toes but the tanning suggestion is very bad. It's a common misconception dating back years but there are few things that will make you break out more while on cycle then sitting in a tanning bed. We love having tans but I would avoid tanning beds like the plague if your acne is that bad.

    First off your taking 1350mg a week a lot of Androgens for the skin the handle.You can get a soap(Avenno) from shopper drug mart.Tanning with help keep the skin a bit,but you will have to lower the test a bit or Deca or both.B5 will do shit.
    I can't take test as it make my skin bad.Best of luck!

    Tren is the culprit... I never had acne before, and I ran 3 cycles of test with no probs.... Soon as I ran Tren at 125/ed, my back was a mine field. Not out of control for me, but about 20 of the lil b*stards throughout the whole cycle. 4 months later, they have all gone except one... and his time has come today... lol

    well before i ever used tren i used to get a little acne and couldnt stand it.. it was just from sust or test e, but i started taking pantothentic acid b5 a week beofre cycle and took 7g-10g daily and my cycle included tren.. didnt have any acne at all even through pct and everything.. i will never cycle again without it but im pretty sure it will take a few weeks to clear everything up.. it stops your oil glands from producing oil.. as far as the antibiotics they may be harsh on your liver to take while on cycle but use body wash and take b5 and i think you will be good

    Try using Nizoral shampoo. Wash the affected area with it and leave it on for 3-5mins. Then wash it off. Do this E3D as it can cause irritation.

    There is also Antibiotics, the Tetracycline familly. The work with some, not others and would be the preffered choice over Accutane whilst "on" as its so toxic.

    B5 is a pain to take from what i found, either nasty tasting drink mix or 200 pills 4 times per day. What brand did you use?

    I had the same thing happen to me. I think it was the damn deca . I have cycled alot of other compounds and the cycle with deca was the only one that broke me out.

    Nizoral works good and tanning without going to a derm
