Bad acne. which test Ester is causing it?

ad

I'm using 200mg test prop every two days as well as test cyp with it.

I get a bad cyst like shoulder and back break out like a day or two after each injection.

I don't remember this happening before when I used normal dosed prop. So I'm Thinking it's the prop?
Do I inject more frequently or not as much prop per inject?

I'm also on npp.
I'm wondering what's up. Maybe even estro is off as well?

Help.

Got this from your profile. Just want to ensure everyone knows what type of person they are dealing with:

But it's a place where people that don't even look like they use PEDs preach about it.

Too young, cycle history, we don't talk about that compound, etc...
Please! Look like you use PEDs before you preach anything. The fact that people use stuff here and don't even look it makes me laugh.

The person there dealing with?
Are you upset because the truth was had?

iFit's picture

Nah. But you don't like the way we do things or the members here why don't you find a new home that you like. I can help.

Theonslaught's picture

Like the way you do things?

  1. I was here two years before you buddy.
  2. Getting mad at opinion? No specific person was called out.
  3. When I ask what rules kids are breaking no one can answer where to find these. Be legit and help the newbie out. Don't send him away.

There are written rules, unwritten rules and protocol. It would be impossible to write a rule for every situation and who the fuck has the time to do that. As Mods, we need to make judgement calls at times.

Feel free to share your opinion but when you do it with such ignorance you are embarrassing yourself.

Theonslaught's picture

Unwritten rules?
Okay. Good to know. Thank you.

Theonslaught's picture

Oh get over it.
I've been here before both of u and the old school stuff (real eroids) is why I'm successful now.
I've seen what has happened so keep my purpose old school.

Help out the board?
How by posting my drugs while looking natty?
posting cycles while looking natty?

If I use a product I review it...
every question I've had has made me even more successful. So I have to thank the non-troll members for my success. And no I'm not speaking of anyone specific. I've just been here from the beginning pretty much.
The truth hurts...

Negging me for opinion only proves me right.

Theonslaught's picture

Who is being a prick? It's all you buddy.

Cool, you're on your second rodeo.

Exactly

I stumbled upon a cheap acne treatment that has worked wonders for me.
I use a scrub brush and nizoral shampoo.
Nizoral has a anti-fungal that also has anti androgenic effects. 12 bucks and available at walmart

Theonslaught's picture

This! Wow dude. I've never been this clear from a topical anything let alone a wash.

Been using this exclusively

CBBurrr's picture

Isnt that shit amazing!

Cured my backne, even on a tren cycle

Theonslaught's picture

I don't even have to use topical lotions.
I have 2% for hair (scripted kind)

But the otc 1% is working great

CBBurrr's picture

OK, i gotta ask. Am i one of the guys that looks natty but still gives advice, even if its just acne advice.

I'm a little insecure at my 205 # with the BF of a sumo wrestler.
lol

Theonslaught's picture

Giving advice vs pretending to be the creator of testosterone is different. Lol

But good show ol bean.

Theonslaught's picture

I use the 2% for hair for around 19$ for my hair

Never thought to use on bod.

I've used hibacleanse (use ever u spell)
With anti bacterial dish soap lol.

But the big painful ones aren't effected

CBBurrr's picture

give it a try on your back and see what happens. I started with this stuff 4 weeks ago, and even on cycle it's been keeping acne at bay

irongame427's picture

hmm, the high estro and acne thing never really held any weight with me. Im the most acne prone person youll ever meet. I had the most embarassing acne all over my face chest arms back and shoulders way before i ever started using gear. Ended up having to go to the derm and run 160mgs of accutane for 7 months to get rid of it. And it still pops back up to this day but only when im coming off cycle and hormones are decline or when im going on cycle and my hormones are rising so in other words unstable hormone levels, oh and dbol that shit breaks me out so bad i dont even mess with it anymore. Anyways when i cycle i let my estrogen get high i dont keep it around 30 in range like everyone preaches, and i dont break out. So for me its not an estro problem.

so idk it sounds like the prop, you take a shot and a day or two after the injection (when levels spike and peak) you break out. I would either try injecting more frequently and if that doesnt help maybe drop it. Its weird that you never experienced this with normal dosed prop though. Let us know how it turns out.

I agree with you when it comes to acne and unstable hormone levels. I think estro plays a big part, but I think it's a combination of things. I'm on TRT and I keep things very stable, but I still have to be on an medium dose of AI or I get break outs.
I started my TRT several years ago with Sust and that was a complete joke when it came to acne with me. It took quite a while to get stabilized again.

IrishMack's picture

Same thing here, When I was not dialed into my AI I used to break out all over my back real bad, now I take my Arimidex eod and I get very few if any even on a blast.

irongame427's picture

Im sure it does ive heard so many say once they got their e2 undercontrol their acne stopped, its just never done that to me. I will say this though, when i crashed my estrogen i dont think i had a single spot anywhere on me. But when im on cycle and it gets high ill only get a few small ones from time to time.

But sust for trt lol? Howd you go about that, did you pin once every idk 8 days or so and let the different esters cascade like it was intended for or you pin more frequently ?

vhman's picture

From what I was told, Sust was originally designed for a steady release of test and that it would be great for TRT. I was pinning twice a week and I was still having major issues. Lesson learned!

Once I got on test-c and then eventually test-u, I'm able to control things very well. My body has changed over time though. I used to never have estro issues when I was younger, but now I do. You've got to change with the times so to speak.

irongame427's picture

Ya it was designed for trt, sustanon (sustained release), meant to pin like once every 2-4 weeks or something, when one ester was done the next would be at its peak and it would cascade all the way though. Turned out to be a shitty trt drug though but great for steroid users which is pretty much the only reason its still made. Can one even get sust in the us from a pharmacy? When you were on it was it doctor prescribed? Undeconate is definitely the future of trt. Though many endos dont prescribe it for whatever reason. I guess its still pretty new in the US. Theyd rather tell someone to pin cyp every two weeks and put them on a hormonal rollercoaster then put them on test U where you could probably actually get away with pinning once every 2 weeks. They say after the inital few doses its once every 3 months but thats bullshit. But ya youre not the first person whos said they have developed estro issues as they got older. Seems like its pretty common i know alot of people taking higher ai doses on there trt dose then i take when im on cycle. But there are many young guys who have estro issues also. Thats mostly genetic though.

vhman's picture

My doctor had me try every "natural" remedy to raise my test. Nothing worked and after all that, he refused to put me on test (not my doctor anymore). I then went to a "low-t" clinic and quickly realized that they were ripoff, so started my own trt program. I read that sust was for trt, so that's what I started (ugl) and quickly learned it didn't work for me. Switched to test-c and that was much better, but I got very tired of bi-weekly pinning. I finally found a doctor that knew what he was doing and I got on test-u (pharm).
I pin the test-u every 10 days and that works great for me. I never bought into the loading and only pinning every few months. My bloods are always within range and very stable.

vhman's picture

Less fluctuations. I had broken out with sust and wanted to stabilize, so I went to bi.weekly. It did the trick after a while, but it got very old.

CBBurrr's picture

every ten days seems like a pretty easy pin schedule. how many mg?

vhman's picture
  1. It's a dream compared to what I was going through before. Pinning gets old very fast, especially after a few years.
CBBurrr's picture

Vhman, how many mg every 10 days? whats it get your test levels up to?

HAve you considered going with the pellets?

vhman's picture

125 mg. that keeps me around 700.

mwagner630's picture

You failed to mention an AI with this. What are you using to control your estrogen. Acne is an indicator of high estrogen.

Theonslaught's picture

Using arom. (Good reviewed liquid)

I usually get sensitive nips and enlargement.
But haven't this cycle so hopefully all good.

But I usually use letro on cycle 2 pills a week spilt up. Cipla brand. If I use 2grams test (yes I've done)

It might be higher estrogen as well as the prop schedule. It happened however when I did eod as well. Test c has been in system for over 6 weeks already.

I'm gonna do prop every day or cut it out completely. I just love prop lol.
And I'll probably dose ai better. 12mg a day might not be much?

Dacky's picture

Agree with Rusty. That's a lot of test mate. Why so much? I get the prop as a kicker but why keep running it? Go get bloods pulled. Check estro and DHT levels.

Theonslaught's picture

I'm a bodybuilders. Like actual bodybuilder

Dacky's picture

Well like good luck then with the like actual acne.

Theonslaught's picture

I know , it's hard to believe that eroids still has people on peds that actually look like it..
Lol

But thanks mate
