Hey all,
I have had some body acne most of my adult life. Its managable most of the time.
At the moment I'm having an out break that obviously related to to much androgens in my system. I can tell its different than the normal cause its almost like a rash of little pimples that affect my arms and along the side of my chest and back.
This is a major problem because my arms are scard from the last time this occured.
To give a brief history, my first cycle 2 years ago, 250 mg sust for 12 weeks, plus 4 weeks 25mg D-Bol and 2 weeks of winny tabs at 50mg a day for the last two weeks before PCT of clomid
I experienced no un normal acne at all
Second cycle one year ago, d-bol 30mg per day 4 weeks, 700mg of test E
.5mg of arimidex a day. was doing fine till around week ten, acne on arms and sides appeared, got so bad over the period of a month i had to stop the cycle things went back to normal after a few months.
During that time, I read every post on acne on here, I have tried B5, apple cleansing diets, dawn dish soap, exfolating every day, hot/cold showers, even anti biotics, pretty much everything accept accutane (which I wont take) Nothing has made any bit of a consistent difference.
The only thing that seems to effect the acne, and it is only accutely is a sun burn, a light burn will vanish them for a few days.
Un fortunately I cant handle this type of treatment on a regular basis, not to mention my burn time is beyond the maximum exposure time at a salon now.
This cycle I decided to try deca alone just to see what the effects were and if I could tolerate it alone. Given that it has low androgenic sides, I figure it should not give the acne test had.
Two weeks in at 300 mg twice a week and my acne was almost gone, better than normal, guess it was due to the lack of test my body was producing but my head was toast, my mood was just done, felt like a bitch, could not hack it.
I had to take some test so i started taking 125mg of sust twice a week. I was back to normal feeling great in about 12 hours after the first injection.
4 weeks later gains are happening feel great look great, but started to get a little Gyno. Started taking 20mg a day of examestane I had lying around. Water retention gyno, gone.
Now 4 weeks later (week ten) Im exploding and so is my acne
I have some thoughts that it might have something to do with the AI, as a friend of mine who was even more prone, used to take huge (gram+) amounts of sust,but always used nolvadex. His acne impoved during his aas use. Most likely its the test, although I didnt have a problem with this much last time. So my thought is to just cut the sust back in half and hopefully be able to drop the AI cause there really wont be any need at such a low dose.
Am I totally off base here ?
If anyone has any ideas based on fact or you can relay your personal experience and how you dealt with this (besides tattoos) Please let me know
Also what would be the best mass cycle for someone who is prone to acne look like?
Thanks, Max
