    Test, Deca, and ACNE

    Hey all, been a little while sense the last time I posted. Good to be back.
    Anyhow, on week 8 of my test and deca cycle. Everything is going extremly well. Gains are great and strength is god like. However, two weeks ago acne has taken over shoulders, back, and part of my arms, even on my hips and ass. I never have had pimples and more seriosuly, I have never had acne. So, does anyone have any advice how to eleviate some of this?

    I shower twice a day. Use a soap with salacylic acid in it, but nothing is working. Do I just put up with it until my cycle is over? Ughhh. It's annoying and I don't want to wear a tank top. It's pretty obvious to people who pay attention to what is going on... Grrrrr...

    Hey guys,I'm on week 4 of test/deca
    This week has been a week I have felt change no question!
    I have never had a acne problem,But I can tell you my skin is now oily on week4. I shower in hot hot hot water 3 times a day ,first thing in the morn, then after my workout and then right before bed! Hot water is the key it drys your skin nicely and safely.This week I started using a tanning bed 2 times a week as well and my skin is awesome and free of any acne.
    By the way my training and pumps are insane!

    I had unbelievably bad acne from the same gear.Sore, painful acne.This is what you should try:

    1. shower using Dawn dish soap, and a face cloth.

    2. sunlight, or sun-bed.

    3. if all else fails, accutane, 10mgs X 2day.

    Thanks for the responses. I do appreciate it. Dawn dish soap? REally? How well does that work? Have you tried it? I wear a light cotton t shirt at the gym. Can I get accutane from my doctor???
