Tanning helps acne?
Someone told me the other day that the best way to get rid of pimples was tanning, that it drys them out. Sounds crazy, is there any truth behind it?

It will help hide it bro. But to actually stop it from happening is too different things.

Could be a result of high estrogen too.

Acne is the worst as I finished up my cycle. (my first cycle) Sunday will be 14 days since my last pin so that I can start nolva + clomid. Sound like it could be estrogen related?
Btw I'm trying the B5+zinc+that p word but it hasn't really helped so far.

Use the stand up beds. Otherwise your just laying down in your own sweat.

I've used it many times with LOTS of success. Most was 40mg/day till acne visibly subsided. Then 20mg till it cleared..... Then 10mg for another couple weeks to make sure. Acne stayed cleared for a couple years till I cycled heavy again.
At 40mg/day my lips dried out BAD..... 20mg they will dry pretty bad and possibly crack.
Also..... DO NOT tan on accutane and DO NOT get anything waxed!

Since accutane does have sides..... I chose to take a lower dose to get rid of the acne and not have nasty sides.
To go above 40mgs I'd strongly suggest doctor supervision. I couldn't goto my doc and ask him to do bloodwork all the time for a treatment I prescribed myself.

The accutane sounds like it should probably be my next step, but shutting down your oil glands just doesnt sound like a healthy solution?
As far as the high Estrogen goes, I would assume that could be the cause, I noticed a little acne the last week or 2 of my cycle, but it became really bad once I went off cycle. Is there a better way to control the Estrogen spike to prevent the acne that way? Im threw 3 weeks of PCT (Nolva/Clomid) and im still seeing a good bit of acne. Im hoping once I start cycling again next week that it will go away, but im not sure?

Also..... Why even bother with pct if you planned on going right back on? Just seems like a big hormonal clusterfvck..... Not to mention not a bright idea

I'm not sure why I wouldn't do PCT? Pretty much everything I've read tells me that by running shorter cycles and PCT I lessen the side effects. I really don't want to force myself into TRT. Last cycle was 12 weeks of test E, used hcg and amirdex while I was on, waited 2 weeks after last pin then did 4 weeks of nolva/ CLOMID, then I'll be ready to start my next cycle, which I'm going to try Test P, NPP this time.

If I read that wrong then I apologize. If I didn't then you need to take another 12 weeks off AFTER your pct. time on + pct = time off. This is the safest method to implement other than to get blood work to confirm that you have recovered.

Frequent tanning and frequent showers does wonders.
