    Acne with first test cycle?

    I had acne as a teenager and was prescribed accutane twice. Originally I had some on my face then on some cystic acne on my chest. Now at the age of 26 I rarely have but a few pimples. If I was to run my first cycle of Test, would I be highly likely to break out badly since I had it as a teen? Could I run accutane throughout cycle to prevent it? Would it prevent it? If I ran test prop since its a short ester, could I discontinue the cycle and run pct immediately if it got too bad?(Although I hear most breakouts flare during PCT? This correct?) Thanks for any advice.

    I suppose you are more genetically prone to Acne than most people. Just like male pattern baldness, some compounds will accelerate, or accentuate these problems. If I was you and ran a cycle, I wouldn't take any of the Accutane and run very few compounds. Perhaps a Test only cycle with Arimidex or the AI of your choice. Bath in Epsom salts 2-3 times a week to help your skin. Accutane might just cause more problems than not during a cycle.

    The cystic acne sounds bad.. Was reviewing a case of acne which got flared up insanely by AAS. Looked pretty bad! Remember you are dealing with supraphysiological doses. 3-4 TIMES the amounts you would produce naturally.. Just some words of caution.

    You can use Actutane on cycle.Many guys do beacuse they get Acne real bad.Sounds like its something you will have to test out for yourself.Have everything in hand before you start Bro.Good luck.

    I would try low dose cycle to see if how your body responds, but I think it's fair to say due to your history YES you will get some kind of acne. Unless your AI is spot on and your diet is super clean.
    From what I know(hear say) accutane and steroids can cause some serious physiological effects. I think I would rather deal with "some" acne instead of having depression mood swings and perhaps worse. For me AAS is about being your best mentally as well as physically(one in the same). Good luck

    Thanks for the responses guys...

    I was considering running the accutane just as a preventative measure and since its an injectible cycle I wouldn't see how that would affect anything(I never had any pysch issues on it before)

    Would the prop be my best bet? Since its a shorter ester?

    Isn't it true that normally the most sever flare ups occur during PCT?

    What if I was to run a short burst cycle, like the 30 day method? I hear the sides are less prominent this way

    damnit I wish I didnt have to worry about this! lol

    I know what it feels like to be acne prone but to tell you the truth when i was taking test my acne cleared up maybe because my body had more estrogen which helps with anti-inflamitory and boosts the immune system.

    Prop would be a good choice 8weeks. I f you had a reaction it would clear much faster than cyp or E.
