shots and acne

I've started to notice that the day after my shots I get a HORRIBLE case of acne on my back and upper chest... and by the day before my shot it has cleared up.. should I reduce my shot (200mg/wk) or is there anything else i could do to help reduce the acne?

get some acutane.. it dries out your skin but it is relatively cheap.. you might need a prescription.. not sure.. but acne is a classic side effect of Test.. its like you are going through puberty all over again

When was the last time you had blood work done? How long have you been on TRT. When i first started TRT i got acne but it went away after a couple months when i leveled out.

I've been on it for about 9 months now.. but the acne started popping up in the past 3 months.. i think it has to do with the fact that i've added arimidex making my estrogen drop and getting more test.. i'm going to have my doc check my levels again

You're also taking a fair amount of HCG, correct?
