    My first cycle of M-Drol, which I understand is different to what you're taking, gave me some acne. Not so much on the face, however, the back and shoulders proved to be an issue. I'd say just clean yourself everyday, take fish oils and check out Cycle Assist. Good diet is EXTREMELY important.

    EDIT: best of luck.

    Acne is largely dependent on individual sensitivity. A lot of guys won't have a problem with massive cycles, while some will break out with just a little testosterone . If you're already acne prone there's a good chance you may have an issue. Keeping your skin clean and dry at all times should help. Always shower after you sweat, if that's not possible at least change your shirt and shower when you can.

    As for something you can take, acne from testosterone is due to the hormone's reduction to DHT. A reductase inhibitor like Finasteride can help but I wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary.

    How was your pubescent acne? Usually that's what returns to haunt you. If you had back acne as a kid, you will likely have bad acne on cycle, depending on dose.
