Acne and second cycle

**Spartan ^** · 08-10-2009, 11:51 AM

Alright bros, Im about to start my next 14 week cycle of test cyp 600 and 12 weeeks of deca 400 with a kickstart of a-bomb 100mg ed for 4 weeks. My issue is that I developed acne pretty severly on my back AFTER my cycle last time and still am battling it. Should I wait and get it cleared up before getting back on? Also, I've tried washing with diswashing liquid in HOT showers and using benzol peroxide. I just got some B5 to try.

Advice?

I definitly would wait. Go to a doc and get clindamycn phosphate topical and minocycline oral anti-biotics. Thing is acne comes from hormonal inbalances so it seem to me your body hasnt quite leveled out yet. What was your pct and did you have any gyno symtoms because high estrogen usually is a cause of acne.

Had gyno symptoms early on in cycle, started adex and it stopped. I used the adex throughout the cycle. PCT was nolva 40/40/20/20 and clomid 100/50/50/50. Acne didnt develop until about a week into PCT and it was really bad almost overnight. It is alot better and it seems as though I have no new acne developing. My doc did perscribe doxycycline (antibiotic) for ten days and I finished it about a week ago. I thought about getting some accutane. Thanks for the advice.

I would give your body a little more time.

How much time between cycles did you take?

Try Clean and Clear man if that doesn't work then I don't know what else. You need someone to scrub your back though.

It could help level out your hormone levels. I just ran some also and it seemed to help. I was about 2 months out of a cycle. If the acne is bad like you say you should go get the meds I stated above also with some hydro cortisone valerate to get the inflammation down.

just an update fellas:
I got some acne annihilator from platinum labz. Ive been using it for a week and dammit boy!!!! Its working! In one day, i went to not a single whitehead. the bumps were still there but no heads and about two days later, I had no new blemishes. I still have the bumps but they are definatley getting better. They mostly arent raised and are just purpleish red spots now....

Also just fyi, i got my bloodwork done and all levels are back to normal. Still probably going to give it a couple more weeks before starting my cycle.

I was prescribed Accutane about 10 years ago and haven't had any issues with acne since. I'm going to be starting my first cycle in another week or so and was curious if I should be expecting the acne to come back? What are your experiences with this? It will be a Test E only cycle.

Should I be taking anything along with the Test? I won't consider doing Accutane again though cause that stuff was pretty hardcore...

if youre prone to acne, expect to have it again. Accutane should handle it. I havent personally taken accutane but am considering it for my next cycle. What do you mean "hardcore"? Any major drawbacks?

I took Accutane for 5 months and it was aweful. My lips and ears were so frigen dry that you could pull the skin off them. It was disgusting for sure. My nose was always dry and it made me really depressed. I would never want to do it again that's for sure.

^^ Ya you guys should research and really think about accutane its hardcore. Plus it shouldnt be taken while on cycle.

**Dancer** · 08-15-2009, 02:43 PM

I had it in my late teens...
I cleaned the diet and tanned... I also upped my AI adex back then to 1mg ed

If you know estrogen is contributing factor as some of you know on this thread, take aromison a suicide AI cant be beat for estrogen issues.

I fully agree bro,

the problem is the HDL and LDL issue.

**Tigershark** · 08-16-2009, 01:15 AM

Tanning will help as well.

When i use accutane i keep the dosage fairly low. If the acne is BAD i'll use 40mg's/day until it starts to subside..... then lower the dose as low as I can while still controlling the acne. Usually 10mg's/day..... lips don't dry out, no depression.....

I'm not saying to use it..... this has just been my experience.

I don't know whether high estrogen causes acne for everyone. i'm thinkin DHT is more the culprit. It thinkens sebaceous glands and hair follicles thus producing excessive oil on the skin. I only say this because i bought into the whole estrogen causing acne, when i started to get it mid cycle. but I was on a 0.5mg of adex a day most of cycle. my skin has noticably thickened up with more oil production as well as hair growth, so i think using a 5alpha-reductase inhibitor is the answer for some when it comes to preventing acne on cycle. Also after researching acne it seems that many articles mention DHT plays a big role in acne development.

Well, take it from someone who's had severe bacne for years. If the problem is from the inside, nothing you do on the outside will end it; it can only make it look better for a short while. Oral antibiotics can only go so far too.

I say go for Accutane. People exaggerate a lot when it comes to Accutane. I took a 9-month course and never had any sides besides dry lips (which can be controlled). The serious side effects are very rare. The whole depression thing is a joke. Most people I know are always 'depressed' and that has nothing to do with Accutane. I was taking 100 mg every day btw (started with 40mg). It's just a matter of building up tolerance.
