    Post-Cycle Acne

    Hey guys, wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I finished my second cycle about 4 months ago. Finished with HCG and Clomid post cycle. Since then I have a ridiculous amount of acne on my shoulders. The big painful kind. I have never had a problem with this before. Any ideas?

    Same happened to me but not that bad, I once read something about rebound, it said its was cause the body hormones was out of wack and thats why we gradaully decrease our pct drugs. Dont know how true it is maybe one of our other bros from this site can join in and tell us more about this. Did you gradually decrease your pct drugs.

    Yup most people get acne post-cycle. It's normal.

    No, I just stopped the post cycle when the meds were gone. I guess I was concerned because it didnt happen after the first cycle. Thanks guys. Hopefully it will end when I start up again in a month or so.

    The active ingredient is 2% salicylic acid
    you can get that same crap anywhere. I doubt that would solve your problems.

    try starting off with more showers and using a cleaning product that gets rid of oily skin..

    then move onto nizoral shampoo or cream.. most are 2% but hunt for the 5% ones if u can..

    occasional light sunbed sessions...

    if worst comes to the worst... accutane.

    Try tanning. UV rays kill bacteria.

    I had the same problem after my first cycle - bad, bad acne during pct - definitely estrogen rebound. Took adex during cycle followed by 30 days nolva.

    Next cycle ended with 30 days exemestane plus 50 nolva (overlapped). No issues that time.

    For The Win! Sorry I also am a car guy, and a couple of the car boards have been invaded by these ricer idiots who want to make their 4cyl turds fast. They use these little sayings, and I've picked them up. Stupid ricers. Domestic muscle FTW! LOL!
