High RBC and red skin on cycle

[G-Force]

i been cycling a long time now - 4 years i think

in the last 6 months i have noticed my skin turning red

so bad that people have been pointing it out to me at the gym
it seems to be worse on my back

i thought perhaps this was due to a high RBC while being on so got my levels checked - however they were found to be in the normal range

i asked my doc and she said it was most probably the capillaries in my body expanding

she didnt seem to think anything could be done about this however???

i also seem to notice small blue/black 'blotches' around the top of my back and shoulders - almost like bruises?

anyone else experience this?

i would say its flushing, which is your capillaries expanding. just tan more. and if you have small black and blue blotches it could be bursted blood vessels. i get really red when i work out. but im mostly irish blooded so thats easy for me.

How is your BP?

my blood pressure is normal

the only thing that is suffering slightly at the moment is my liver

Yah I have a lot of Irish in me... but I don't look Irish at all... I get really red in the area that I am training that day i.e.- quads... I don't know if it's related to the fact I am 50 % Irish or not... regardless..

if all your bloodwork checks out man then I wouldnt be worried so much... tanning works... but like me I can't tan because I cherish my tattoos too much.. hahaha
