Help....IS Acne A Sign Of Legit Gear

**galold** · 09-09-2006, 03:35 PM

I am doing my second cycle wich consist of test 500 and deca 300. I ended my first cycle about 5 months ago. On my first cycle I used a well known mexican test 400 and Fina. After about two and a half weeks into the cycle I felt amazing strength I knew and felt I was juiced.

My question is I have been using test 500 and deca 300 split in two weekly doses, I am going on five weeks and I dont have that irritable strong feeling like on my first cycle. Here is the other problem. Living in small town USA gear is not that easy to come by, so through a friend of a friend I was able to get my latest gear for the cycle I am doing now. I was told it was a home brew, but I didn't have a problem with that because the first cycle went great.The injections are very sore for a few days, but I dont mind as long as I am going to see results. IS there any way to tell If what I have is bunk? At what point will I know my gear is good or not? I am Starting to see allot of acne now in my fifth week, Is this any kind of sign that the gear is going to start working? Does the oil itself give you acne or is it from a change in hormones? Thanks for the help.

testosterone in any ester can cause acne especially around the back and face region, it is caused by the over-production of the sebacious gland that are producing the acne, a few ways to control it while doin aas is to make sure you dont wear the same clothes twice especially shirts, def be usin some sort of anti-acne scrub in the shower and to be drinkin a lot of water

definetly a huge sign especially in week five. That is when the testosterone should be really kicking in.

SO the oil itself will not cause acne? Its all change in hormones? Thanks

it all depends on how your body reacts to what it is you're taking bro.

There are four proximate causes of acne:

1.) blockage of the follicle opening (pore)
2.) overproduction of skin oils (sebum)
3.) inflammation and infection of the pimple
4.) bacterial colonization

We also know that excessive androgens in the bloodstream stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce too much oil. The primary reason why these glands produce too much oil is b/c they are being stimulated to do so by high levels of male hormones circulating in the bloodstream (mainly as a result of AAS). Between the foods you eat and the anabolics/androgens they both elevate the production of androgens as well as suppress the liver's production of SHBG (bascially sex hormones). These hormonal shifts will increase your blood levels of hormones, which in turn will stimulate the sebaceous gland to produce excessive oil.

So to answer your question, the AAS is responsible for the hormonal cascade while the hormonal imbalance is responsible for the excess oil which is responsible for the breakouts

One solution to this problem is accutane, which will consequently damage your health...or the another solution is to avoid the foods that cause this mess and use a special designed cream (refer to my profile) to protect your skin against this highly aggressive bacterium.
