bad acne

[pasha]

Im on my pct now.. but throughout my cycle i had bad acne.. and now that im on pct it seems worse.. i was on test prop, var.. and 12.5 aromasin everyday.. now just taking clomid and nova..what are your thoughts, was my aromasin bunk? can clomid or nolva cause acne? or maybe im just that sensitive..

[testoristo]

Prone to acne when natural?

[ksingh93]

its duet to high estrogen levels which cause oily skin use vitamin b5 for acne at dose of 5 mg to 10 mg untill ur acne is gone and then taper it down

[pasha]

no, not at all.. never had it..

[testoristo]

Refer to ksingh thread


Had an issue with it a few times, kept clearisil wipes with me, just to clean once a day, worked for me...

B5 also solid, whatever works best for you

[pasha]

cool thank you, skingh93.. so if my estrogen levels are high that means my aromasin was bunk right?

Aromasin may be bunk or under dosed, go to the pct section, I've read threads on it being the "under dosed" AI, as in people aren't taking enough to combat the aromatization & it having a half life of 7-8 hours needs to be taken twice daily for best results. And as far as your ancillaries go, don't buy them unless they're pharm grade or from our sponsor, you don't mess around with AI's & PCT medications.

[pasha]

no, everything was great besides the acne.

[pasha]

cool thank you guys, yea next time ill get my AI from the sponsor..

I do 12.5mg /12hours
But I'm not sure that'll keep your E in range, it's usually a good baseline to start with. Adjust as you feel necessary. Best of luck to you buddy!

Then it may be due to estrogen rebound

Pretty sure you can't rebound when using Aromasin as it's a (type2?) or suicide AI. Or atleast that's how my research has presented it too me. I've never felt any rebound on that as letro & Adex users describe

[ksingh93]

:/ everyone is diff i get rebound from aromasin and every a.i if i dnt taper it down nd i think he didnt tapered aromasin down

That's strange... Atleast you figured out a protocol to control it, I wouldn't rule out a rebound I suppose. I don't know colossal amounts about the chemical undergoings of AI's & SERMs.

I've always been told its the imbalance of hormones in your body that make acne react

I personally only get it in pct

Why 12.5mg? Studies show 25mg is effective. Less than that had little effect. If I can find the reference I'm thinking of I'll post it.

Is this in reference to what I said? I'd love to read it! My bloods said 12.5/2x/day has kept me within clinical range, although high, it was still considered "normal"

12.5mg twice per day is 25mg daily. I must have misread the 12.5 as daily.

Jimmyinkedup did some sort of write up on this subject here, too. Probably can be found in the ai/serm section.

[pasha]

cool thank you, i'm gonna do some research!

[brodango]

Just out of curiosity, how long was your cycle and what dosage of prop?
