Chest/ Back acne
ad
I’ve recently been running 500 mg test weekly with 25 var but just started getting bad chest and back acne. I’ve been thinking of dropping the dose of 500 down a tad to help with it possibly but does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve or get rid of this? Trying to stay away from accutane

Estrogen causes acne, so knock the estrogen down some.
Go all natural with anything that touches the skin. 100% real cotton is your friend. Wash your sheets often and change pillowcases daily.
Scrub with black African soap, rinse repeat twice, dry, then top with tea tree oil out of shower
You’re welcome
I user African black soap all the time
Ghk-cu and acne body wash been helping keep my skin clear. I also tan often.
Tanning in the sun helps idc what any one says. Don’t shave your body hair with a razor and tan as much as possible.
2nd this. Even tanning in a tanning bed helps.
Oh it 100% helps! Something about that natural UV will dry that shit right up.
Probably from recently starting. May see less acne as your hormones stabilize.
What’s your e2?
Prone to acne before using test?
Waiting on blood work right now but was in range last checked. And nothing before never had anything on chest or back
E2 is probably out of range or you have some big fluctuation.
How often are you pinning?
IM or SubQ?
Pinning every day and doing IM
If you’re pinning daily and your hygiene is 10/10 then I think it may go away on its own after a couple of weeks.
You’re doing everything you can do.
Maybe lowering the dose is the right idea.
AI will likely clear it up, too.
You’ve a personal choice to make
Need to see bloodwork though
Purchase an abrasive lufa and benzoyl wash and scrub the hell out of it. I had the same problem but once I switched to everyday injections it slowly remedied itself.
