Rash

[StedEd]

I Started my fist cycle 5 weeks ago. Taking 500mgs of Test E per week. With this i am taking 1mg of finasteride and .25 of liquididex EOD. I have been fine till about 3 days ago when i started to get red dots on my chest. They have then worked there way down to my stomach and are now begining to appear on my back. I have read that i should take benadryl but 50mg every 4 hours, the only 1's i could see in the chemist were i think 10mg tabs, would this be no good?

The bigger red mark i got about 1 1/2 weeks ago and didnt think too much about it, now im a little worried.

Any advice on what i should do will be much appreciated

[CHAP]

If this happened to me I would take the benadryl and go to the dr Tell him what I was doing and see what he says. Thats just me though.

[StedEd]

well thats what is going through my head at the mo. Just thought i wouls ask here first. I know the doc will say just come off the test and tbh i dont want to uless i have to because now is when the gains should rocket.

[CHAP]

I was just giving my opinion . You do you . I just never had that problem before . Sure it's not acne?

[CHAP]

The pics are outta focuse bro!

[StedEd]

I know best i can get at the mo. Im almost 100% its not acne. There are no heads on them and i tried squeezing them. They are like red splotches. I have done a few searchs and found other people that seem have the same problem but they mention that its itchy where mine isnt.

Is your gear home mad eor a ugl?

[CHUCKYthentic]

do you shave your stomach and back? honestly...

they kinda look like razor bumps ut the pics are so fuzzy hard to tell

[lord henry]

only thing i can think off is if your gear is made with eo oil ,i had the same but mine came 3-4 hours after 1st shot ,gear was made with 80% eo oil and 20% gso.

[StedEd]

The gear is Cidoteston from egypt. No i dont shave my stomach or back. My friend used the same gear with no problems If i am having an allergic reaction to the oil will my body get used to it or will it keep getin worse? I am ment to do another shot tomoro night but dont know what to do.

Thanks for the replies

[lord henry]

5 weeks in and it only just happened ,hmmm i doubt it is the gear ,cido,s are not made with eo (i dont think so anyway) could be non steroid related .

[StedEd]

sorry i said 5 but its 4 1/2 an this started after about 4 weeks with the bigger red mark coming a week before that about week 3. Nothing else that i can think of has changed other than i started takin test and the finasteride. Just gutted that it looks like i will have to come off just when the gains were coming.

are they hives or shingles? possibly acne?

[StedEd]

i really dont think its acne. If it were hives or shingles would it no be itchy and would i not have any other sides. If i couldnt see these i wouldnt know they were there.

[lord henry]

go the docs if your that worried mate,i wouldent stop my cycle untill i knew it was gear related ..i doubt it is.

try getting a wash...lol

[StedEd]

lol i do wash every so often. Just wanted find out what it was without going to the docs tbh. Would you just be honest with the doc an tell him what im taking?

Few better pics

[lord henry]

[lord henry]

Just got back from the Docs, I got something called Pityriasis Rosea

Most people don't feel unwell. A mild headache or tiredness may be all that occurs.

The rash usually starts with a 'herald patch'. This is usually an oval shaped red patch about 2-5 cms in diameter. Common sites for this are the chest, abdomen, neck, back, thigh or upper arms. However, it is common not to have (or not to notice) a herald patch.

Following the herald patch, usually 5-15 days later, a more widespread rash gradually appears over about 10 days. This rash can spread over most of the body. It usually consists of oval shaped spots 1-3 cm in diameter which are pinky in colour. Often the spots seem to form lines in parallel with the skin creases.

Although the rash may seem alarming, you are not unwell with the rash. At worst, the rash might be slightly itchy. The rash fades in time but this may take several weeks. It leaves no marks and there is no damage done. Second attacks are very rare, but have been reported.

This description is the typical case which most people seem to have. Occasionally, the rash may just affect the arms and legs. Rarely, it can cause scaling or flaking of the skin which can be troublesome.

There no cure for it so just have wait for it to go, Shouldnt be any longer than 6 weeks but thats 6 weeks too long. Atleast its not the gear

Thanks for your input fellas.
