Gents, I have fairly recently (6 months ago) developed some horrible acne and I wanted to get an idea of what I'm dealing with. Basically I started breaking out badly at the end of summer on my shoulder and lower back (love handles almost exclusively). They are the deep cystic acne that develops deeply in the skin and never really forms a head...very painful especially in that area. I am on 200mg/wk Test Cyp., prescribed by my doc.

Here's what is nuts about the entire thing. I was using that dosage for about 4 months prior to the breakout and had clear skin...but I was laying out at the beach more.

I have recently been prescribed Solodyn and Retin-A as well and it seems to be helping.

Anyone had any experience from late onset of acne? I've never really considered myself being prone to it, but I suppose its a good thing I don't take higher dosages right? I read somewhere else on here that using a shorter ester (Enanthate) may help. Should I ask my doc about this?
