    Acne

    Hey guys......just finished my first Test + Deca cycle. Very pleased with results and didnt experience any sides during cycle.
    HOWEVER.....now that ive finished my cycle and PCT, ive come out in acne all over my upper back, shoulders and neck.

    I plan to do a second cycle in May........however my question is:
    Shud i get my dermatologist to get me some medication to clear up the acne BEFORE i start my second cycle? or shud i wait until the second cycle is completed and then hit up the dermatologist?

    Advice please guys

    the fluctuation of hormone levels between being on your cycle and moving to PCT is what caused your acne. it should clear up once your hormone levels clear up. as far as going to see a dermatologist, you can do that whenver. if you want to clear it up sooner than later....go sooner than later. more than likely he will prescribe the same thing either way.

    what was your PCT?
    may might be to soon to start ur next cycle.
    time on+ PCT = time off

    PCT was three shots of 2500iu HCG (Mon, Thurs, Sun) and Nolvadex 20mg ed for 4 weeks. Ive kept the majority of gains and my "fella" is functioning back to normal ;-)

    The gap between the end of my pct and the start of the second cycle will be 8 weeks.
    I understand it would be ideal to wait a little longer, however i personally know many experianced bodybuilders/steroid users who take much shorter breaks (sumtimes no time off at all) and are fit and healthy.

    Therefore i am comfortable starting the cycle after an 8 week break.

    $14 plus shipping for 2% salysilic acid solution you can get at any drug store for $5? why do you keep pimping this stuff like you get a cut of it? there's nothing special about a 2% salycilic acid product.

    I have 2 different kinds of product I use one with 2% salycilic acid and one with a different active ingredient (forgot what right now) and both are around $4-$7 at any pharmacy nationwide...

    i was wondering the same thing. salicylic acid isnt a secret ingredient, its in almost every otc acne product.

    what makes that stuff so special and worth $14?

    Your better off waiting longer, I know easier said then done but their is no way you can look at your friends and know how their HPTA is functioning. They look healthy because they're on gear. You're getting acne as your axis is finding an equalibrium and your hormones are out of wack. Get your HPTA back, get a blood test and the cycle will still be there for you and it will work better. Sorry, not trying to lecture, I go through the same debate in my head in betwen cycles but you really are better off waiting. Either way, good luck!

    I own and operate a medical spa and deal with many individuals with varying degress of acne. We use a professional strength product that will wipe acne out regardless how bad it is. The active ingredients are glycolic, Benzoyl Peroxide, and salicylic acid. The % is 5 times greater than whats offered in any OTC product. Let me know if you want more information on it.

    Look here man... no lie. I have tried at least 20 different acne medications from stores/pharmacies. NONE HAVE EVER WORKED!! 2 or 3 had salysilic acid, and the rest had benzoyl peroxide (with different strengths and percentages). Some one turned me on to that Platinum Labz acne annihilator stuff, and my acne cleared up in 3 days. How can this happen?? I don't know but I have at least 3 bottles at my house at a time just in case I ever break out again.
    Tremendous BANG for your buck, and automatic 2 day shipping... I love that shit!!

    if you use PanOxyl soap, follow it with some moisturizer. It makes your skin very dry.

    Fukk Accutane, shit dried my joints out so bad I couldn't lift. Got depressed too.

    Use dish soap in the shower on your chest/back/shoulders. Get a spray bottle and put 90% rubbing alcohol in it, spray it on 2x/day. Use 2% Benzoyl peroxide on top of it 2x/day (acne.org has cheap BP.) Also go tanning 2x/week.

    Worked amazingly for me. Just had to dry the shit out of my skin.

    Stay away from accutane.....give your liver a break for now.....I broke out right before and during PCT.....Give sea breeze a shot and and some OTC Acne cream.....it should clear in a few weeks.
