Currently beginning another cycle of Test E @ 300mg pw.
Well I say start, I took a couple months away from the gym due to Covid restrictions and never came off, just lowered the dose but going back up now.
I’ve always had it with test, back acne, tried a lot of over the counter products but none work, how else do people get through this? It’s by no means the worst I’ve ever seen, but obviously you’d prefer to have it gone.

Use a body wash or face wash on your back and chest that contains salicylic acid ... try and shower after each gym session and whenever you get sweaty and probably change your sheets more frequently since you probably sweat while sleeping ... I would avoid taking accutane as it can mess with your hormones as well.

Bacne seems to really hit some guys hard - usually from higher doses or abrupt dose/compound changes
I seen some that are just horrific
Watch your doses & try your best to keep the skin clean - all you can do
Accutane is a possibility. I'd try to exhaust other options first, but it sounds like you have. I'd go talk to your GP about it.Quote:

You can get prescribed some antibiotics, I believe, but you can't run that forever, I would assume. I get back acne, but nothing terrible.
The things that work for me are eating a clean diet (as little refined sugar as possible), showering multiple times a day (especially right after sweating), wearing clean shirts during the day and while you're sleeping, and using one of those loofa back scrubs on a stick. Scrub your back first with the soap and let it sit on your back for a bit before you rinse it off. Salicylic acid body wash didn't do much for me.
I agree with Samson that most back acne flares up during the start or end of a cycle and after dosage changes. Frequent injections can help some.
