Does Acne usually come w/PCT

**2bshredded** · 09-13-2006, 02:50 PM

I've been off cycle for several weeks, my PCT was/is consisting of HCG 500ius ED/Nova 25mgED/ Exemestane 25mg ED

Did not experience "any" acne when I was on cycle....Test e. at 600mg/Eg. at 500mg a week, now my back looks like the fcking lunar landing.

Is this normal in PCT, or maybe was it the HCG...which I finished yesterday.

Anyone had similiar problems?

Alright, had me worried there for a bit

As Short said, hormone flucuation is mostly to blame here.

Has your diet changed since coming off?

Diet is basically the same. I have noticed that I'm having a surge in strength gain

sounds strange but I'm telling you I'm stronger now than ever...three weeks off juice....maybe this is normal.

Yeah your test levels are definately rebounding back. Just enjoy the ride while it lasts

Kale...Hey Bro your Avi just keeps getting better and better.

So, how can a guy figure this into his next cycle and try to stop it?

All you can do is scrub twice a day with an anti bacterial soap. I have an alchahol based antibiotic lotion I use as well, so I hit the little fvckers as soon as I see them

Looking forward in more ways than one to getting back after it!

I find anytime there is a fluctuation in hormones, acne comes to surface easier... such as, beginning or end of a cycle; or an otherwise change in dose patterns...

Warrior...I would have thought that as well but....my dosages throught out the cycle varied and in the beginning I had "no" acne problems at all...just in PCT

Did you take an AI or SERM during your cycle?

2BShredded,

Myself and several of my lifting buddies from the gym have had great success with Steel Curtain Acne Defense (the web address is in my profile) and avoiding certain foods. For those who think diet has nothing to do with acne are sadly mistaken. Personal experience and new scientific research (studies) prove otherwise.

There is a huge fluctuation in hormone activity during PCT... and its my assumption (much like what happens during puberty) that this is what causes skin breakouts of acne. People that get bad acne during a cycle with a reasonably level of blood levels will come from an increased affinity toward androgen receptor activity within the skin... so they get it regardless. Some people get bad acne only when starting and ending a cycle - while others get it beginning, middle and end due to AR sensitivity with in the epidermis...
