+ 1 Cystic Back Acne
ad
Looking for advice/guidance. Have been doing TRT 600mg/week cycle for 5 months and was NOT taking Arimidex (confusion from multiple sources whether or not to use). I have been breaking out in cystic acne on my back which has now moved to my chest. I am currently going to lower my dose to 150/mg week and have added the Arimidex now. Has anyone has this issue and if so, how did you resolve it? What is your dosing. I'm ready to start on accutane but would like to only be on it as little/quick as possible. I've tried body washes and acne patches. Not sure if this is just throwing my body into an extreme high level and causing oil glands to go crazy.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks and yep I hear ya but hey people will be they are who they are
Oh darn I just saw below she cleared up the situation
Favorite line from the movie Equalizer
part 1...Denzel says, " You gotta be who you are in this world"
I see the girlfriends comment
They're trolling imo
I’m posting for my bf. He is one the trr and is 50. I made the acct because I’m more computer person
Thanks I was definitely skeptical seeing you were female I think you'd have worse sides than just acne running that dose for so long but I'm not versed in female bodybuilding cycles to know. Calling that dose "TRT" was also making me think this was a joke
That is nice of you to do for him, so adding to that learning curve you see how sometimes people will be suspect
But that is nice of you to do, hope nobody scared you off it's a great group of folks here. Glow is good people too, I almost said the same, as we do look out for each other in that sense also and we do get people that come along just to create a rise
And now that we know if there are any other questions don't hesitate to create a topic again have fun mingling about the site there's a lot of great info here

Totally understand. I'm just here for help to try to get his situation under control. We did order a test/estrogen testing kit to actually see what his levels are and then use this group to get things under control and learn more.
Excellent! The world needs more girlfriends like you out there. Let us know how you make out, and you chose the best place on the planet by posting here to help you succeed!
Yo! Sup sup, you very well could be right that's what first came to mind for me but you just never know
I agree. Strange to see but it is online so theres that. Haha
stolenbases_sdI would use Accutane until it clears up. Since you lowered your test dose it shouldn’t get any worse. Anytime I have any fluctuations it can cause it to pop up a little. But once you stable out on 150 a week it’ll clear up nice. I would start taking the Accutane asap it’ll clear up and shouldn’t come back. Until you decide to up the dose. Make sure you wash your back. I use a long loofa stick thing for my back.
Niacinamide
Lysine
NAC
PROBIOTICS
that's a good acne health stack
Colloidal oatmeal baths
Getting estrogen under control probably the biggest factor. 600mg test a week for 5 months with no ai. Hmm
Who are these multiple sources you're listening to LOL. Sorry. Hope you get it sorted out
Yo, I gotta say that I appreciate you regularly advising people use natural products to support & balance their health rather than more heavy lab driven products that carry as many risks (or more) as benefits. I think sometimes in this lifestyle, we reach for the quick powerful fix, looking for an immediate solution rather than a balanced lifestyle & longterm solution.
Thank you for the info. I am getting estrogen checked this week. I was being told to only take it if I had nipple sensitivity which I didn't. Hopefully I can get it under control with the AI and lower dose. New to the game and apparently more of a learning curve than I thought.
hey no problem glad to help, I saw the words accutane in your post, for me that would be a last resort option as it's pretty harsh stuff
Also some rubbing alcohol into a small spray bottle, giving the areas a spray a couple times a day helps dry it up
I think you're on the right track dropping the dose down and getting that AI going should balance things out pretty quickly. Still good to wash linens a little more frequently and that bath can do wonders a couple times a week. And it's quite okay we've all been through the learning curve, I've had my battles with it and luckily I haven't had a spot in a few years, knock on wood
For the supplements I thought lysine was the most effective
Edit. Oh the colloidal acne dot patch are a miracle. The small round and clear but wow, even the biggest hardest ones that don't seem like they're ever shrinking they will start to go down after a couple days. They literally sucked the goop right out into the patch. It's just tough to get them on centered and replace daily. The other type of patches like salicylic acid never did anything for me. You'll love them
I completely agree with rubbing alcohol. I swab my face with it every night and I rarely get any facial pimples anymore
