Acne and Hair Loss

ad

Hey guys, as you know I've started my first cycle of Test E only at 600mg/week. I have done a little research on hair loss and acne, but can't seem to find an overall protocol that works the best. I'm 31 years old and never have had an issue with either acne or hair loss. In fact my wife tells me I have great skin and a good head of hair, it's very thick.

I simply want to prevent any acne as much as I can (could be a tell tale sign that I'm on something) as well as keeping my full head of hair. Do you guys use anything, preferably OTC, that you use for acne and hair loss prevention? Thanks in advance!

I have thick, full hair as well and only experience mild hair loss during heavy cycles (like including tren). My acne gets bad on the chest and shoulders, somewhat on my back. I have been able to keep it under control with a good AI and "panoxyl" (nuetrogena brand benzoyl peroxide) but the key has been applying it with one of those plastic loofa scrunchie things that girls use. LIGHTLY scrubbing affected areas twice a day in the shower. Even got one of those scrunchies on a stick for doing my back. That has worked wonders. The other thing for me was tanning. That made a HUGE difference. Yes, it makes your skin tougher but it was the final ingredint between me being able to take my shirt off at outside and show off what ive spent all this fucking money and time on Smile

ive developed some bad acne on my first cycle of test e 500mg/week that left me with acne scars. after that ive started using accutane and it helps tremendously. dosage are not crazy high too, 20mg per day the first few weeks, then down to 10mg per day

I'm currently running my 3rd cycle and haven't experienced either acne nor hair loss. I'm sure the hair loss is more common down the road with heavier cycles. Acne, on the hand, can happen during any cycle but some of us are more prone to acne than overs. I've had little to no acne at 600mg of test wkly. One thing you have know is that everybody is different. But when issues arise get on here and ask. Someone will have your answer.

I am just in my first week so I am not experiencing any of these. I just want to be properly prepared if these issues do arise. Thanks for the information MAC!

If you aren't currently experiencing any acne or hair loss I wouldn't be worried about it

Are u experiencing hair loss/acne or are u worried about getting those sides? Because of you aren't experiencing either of those, them just keep up with washing your skin with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, and IF you get bad acne or hair loss (which you won't at least not hair loss) then you can get some Accutane (Isotretinoin) which is a potent form of vitamin A that clears ALL acne big time, just make sure u have a non-comedogenic moisturizer cause it may dry your skin out a bit. Do not use accutane unless u start getting a good amount of clogged pores and acne. For hair loss there is Propecia, which again you probably won't need but if you experience some serious hair loss, buy that stuff. Remember that the human head loses 50-100 hairs per day so don't immediately assume your going bald. Plus it's genetics and u have thick hair I doubt you'll lose it.. Also your only on test. It will cause a little acne but nothing severe and it's not known to make you lose hair... Trenbolone and Masteron on the other hand can cause both sides pretty bad in some cases

I should point out that I do not know my family history for hair loss or male pattern baldness as I was adopted.
