    Some people see clearer skin simply by employing the use of an AI while on their TRT dosage. An AI will eliminate a % of estrogen from the body (IE) arimidex. You could talk to your doctor about prescribing you this. (by the way, he may want to give you a blood-test first to establish if your estrogen levels are a bit high right now, etc..)

    Solodyn and Retin-A might work.

    If it doesn't clear up from those medications then IMO your only option will be accutane. It's the strongest acne medicine on the market, and it's incomparable in it's ability to heal cystic acne.

    Best of luck,

    Hey bro, thanks for the input. In regards to the A-dex, I have about 20 pills left over from a previous prescription and was wondering if they retain their shelf-life and what dose you would recommend if I decided to hop back on it for a short period. I just want to try and knock this out fairly quickly since I have a vacation to the Virgin Islands planned in March.

    As far as blood tests go, i just had one done about 3 months ago and my doc didn't see anything abnormal. I usually get checked out about every 6 months anyways.

    Ok... well here's the thing, I'm not a huge fan of employing the use of an AI unless your estrogen is too elevated.

    However, in your situation it should be fine (since you aren't looking for serious muscle building gains... as estrogen does play a role in muscle growth.)

    Basically I would suggest you try the a-dex @ 0.25mg every 2nd day. (you will have to cut the pills up -- usually they come in 1mg pills.. so you may have to quarter yours.)
