    Bad acne on shoulders, chest and uper back. Taking Antibiotics on cycle. Please help!

    Profile:
    6'0 tall, 200 pds., 14-16% Body fat.

    I ran a long first cycle this year (about 12 weeks) of test prop only. I was using about 750mg per week of the prop. I started growth half way through my cycle at 4iu per day. I ran the growth all the way through my PCT (Clomid, Noveldex). The last 3-4 weeks of my cycle I started to get small pimples on my upper back, shoulders and chest. Once I completed my PCT a few weeks later the small pimples had turned to cystic acne.
    I was already prone to acne before the cycle and I knew there would be a chance I might get it. The doc has prescribed me Prednisone 10 mg pills 7 day supply. And Doxycycline 100mg pills 14 day supply. The also gave me Clindamycin 1% topical.
    I have been using the Andropen for about a month now and I like the results. I do not want to stop and loose what I have worked hard to gain. I have been running 3/4cc every third day. I was running 1cc EOD when I jumped back on late October and I backed down to around 600mg per week from over 800mg.
    My questions are,
    1. Will I be ok taking all these AB's with the Andro?
    2. Will AB's even help to clear up acne while im on cycle?
    3. Will taking HCG break me out more or have any issues with the AB's? I want to start HCG during this cycle to help my HTPA.

    Any guidance you guys can give me is much appreciated. Thank you.

    So how long have you actually been on between the prop and the andropen . Are you a HRT or just setting yourself up to be one.
    You need to get finished with AAS and run PCT.
    Key to keeping gains is diet and exercise, if you feel your going to lose it all then then the feedback is your diet and exercise routine is lacking and you will.

    1 you will be ok with the AB's
    2 maybe but if you stay on will come back/ chicks love that cystic acne...
    3 hcg will not break you out and alone wont help your HPTA to recover

    Worst case when you see your doctor again ask him about Accutane, one of my mates had gotten serious acne on his back so he ordered some accutane off the net, was on 30mg/day after a month it was gone.

    My suggestion for your next cycle is to run accutane from your first pin till the end of your PCT 20mg/day, be careful of the sides though (they differ person to person).

    agreed ,,,,,accutane at 40mg a day cleared mine in about 2 months

    just be very diligent on researching accutane before using it. It may have some very serious side effects. I personally know a friend who had used it in his teens and is now bipolar, so i am to afraid to touch the stuff. I also had fairly bad acne. I use an AB, differin gel, and benzoyle peroxide and they work great.
