I'll have to agree with vhman on this. I as well have had my share of acne problems on cycle. This last time it flared up I happend to get bloods done about the same time and my estro was high. Uped my ai and low and behold within a couple of weeks I started seeing improvement. Antibacterial soap and antibiotics help but like vhman said without a solid ai you're fighting a losing battle.

I'll chime in. Some really good advice on this thread. I have awful acne on cycle. Have had acne my whole life but on cycle my chest shoulder and back get covered. If you want to deal properly with it go see a dermatologist and get on Accutane if you want to go that route. I personally respond really well to anti biotic (from the dermatologist) and retina a cream (also from the derm). OtC stuff won't work and neither will hippie home remedies you read about on the net. Tanning beds are the best for disguising acne. I go 2 times a week on cycle and it dries up considerably. Keep in mind tanning beds mask the problem not a solution. Acne is a bacteria that lives off the oil your skin secrets. Anti biotic kill the bacteria and the creams and the sun beds dry up the oils. Also the idea that pros don't have acne is false. Check out wolf and many others not in magazine not on stage but in videos of their everyday life. Magazines photoshop and on stage they are painted brown. Acne is a side effect of testosterone and it's derivitives. Some worse than others.

Tl;Dr see a dermatologist and start going to the sun beds

It depends on the person. I didnt really have acne growing up, nor when on cycle. My buddy had acne before juice, and terrible while on. He had zits all over his arms even. I would try that Pet Armor spray. I think it works.

Hormone fluctuations are for the most part the cause of acne, when on cycle. Keeping on top of your AI is key to controlling it. Everything else can help, but without a solid AI, you're fighting a losing battle.

depends on the cause, estro? who knows, i know that nizoral shampoo can help, if you live close to the ocean take a dip daily, if not there is a anti fungal drug used on dogs, its for the dry patches behind their elbows, read a lot of people getting rid of it with that, its hormonal imbalances, so gotta find the cause, ais can help, there is other drugs you can take, even broad spectrum anti biotics, dont pick them etc dont want scarring!!! good luck.

hormone fluctuations can cause a mjor rise in acne with the increase in sex hormone binding on the sebacious glands.Sustanon haveing 4 different esters combines with cyp to make a 5th ester and your test levels are constantly changing,adding the estrogen by via aromatase enzyme and its hard to keep a solid baseline of hormone levels with that much change going on. all that oil helps soften the skin for the rapid growth that occurs during puberty so you can grow without strecth marks but S.aureus feeds off the oil and is what usually causes the acne.

If your able to double the cyp and lay off the sust I would try that route but at the minimum I would buy some generic pro-active and I also carry a can of spray on acne cleanser, salicylic acid based, so I can spray it on all the hard to reach areas like the back.

oral antibiotics knock it out quick but wreak havoc on the healythy bacteria you need in your digestive system, preventing good nutrient absorbtion so I would stear clear of antibiotics except for short term clearing up of a really bad outbreak

Abandon cycle immediately I don't give a damn how "jacked" you want to to be, nothing and I mean NOTHING will destroy your physique more than horrible cycstic acne. Trust me man from personal experience some people are more prone to it than others, just stop using man it's the best and absolute solution. Hope this helped. Also try accutane if all else fails WITHOUT AAS in the mix.

The only way I get rid of it is the tanning bed! I shower twice a day. Or either salt water gets rid of it too!
