3 weeks into Test E cycle with severe acne on traps and delts

ad

So this is my first cycle ever and Im 3 weeks in as of today using AB/Optimal Labs Test E @ 500mg a week. Sometime last week I was lookin in the mirror and it was like I had gotten the most severe acne on my traps and delts with a lil bit on my chest too, over night. I was expecting to get acne around week 4 when test e is suppose to "kick in". Is this normal or is this longer estered test kicking in a lil sooner than normal? I havn't told my girl what i've been doing yet, someday that talk will have to come but she noticed it and was a lil freaked out and said it looked like I have a disease or something lol. She did also say it looked like my delts were bigger so that made my night. I havn't had any strength gains yet which is what I expected at week 3 and I've gained some weight which is prolly from the serious mass weight gainer I've added into my daily routine for extra calories.

I hardly ever get acne, however I got it on my shoulder recently and it went away. The only thing different I did was pinned in my delt. I stopped pinning my delt and it cleared. Hope this helps.

Bro I get acne in the same places...and I mean gnarly fat ones. You need to go to Macy's or Dillard's and pick up some Clinique men's face, toner 3.5, and moisturizer. Use that for a week twice a day shower in the AM amd PM and it'll put it under control. Or run to Wally world and get acne free pack that contains the same three items and that will help too. Either one...but key is twice a day. Ive heard adex .25 or .5 EOD may help with acne. But I've never ran adex so it maybe hearsay. Good luck bro...I feel ya!

Edit: you can tan too no lotion.

So far I 've ran two cycles mainly test based and tend to get moderate back acne myself. I just took a back scrubber in the shower with some clearasil facewash and went to town on my back. As long as I did that consistently when showering definitely minimized it big time.

Don't know if this is true but I have heard that taking a bath with half a cup of bleach or some epson salt is suppose to help. Also tanning once a week and showering twice a day. Worth a shot anyways, I haven't tried cause I don't get bad acne

taking a bath or a shower when on a cycle is baddd news!! a new study by JAMA showed that water directly touching the skin for any length of time will lower free test amounts by 30%!!!! the adding of soap makes it 40%, the water opens up and washes the surface oils away which contain all the synthetic test!!so just go without bathing for 8-16 weeks and watch your results!!

She didn't say anything about roids or suspect anything but if she brings it up again I'll tell her that. Is it normal to get severe acne at week 2 on test e tho?
