What are the best methods for fighting acne when on cycle ?

ad

Hi guys and gals,

I am about 6 weeks in to my first Test E only cycle and about 10 days ago my face and neck started breaking out with acne pretty bad. I was a little afraid this may happen as I had this problem when I was younger but was hoping it would only be on the back.

Is neck and face acne normal when doing test and what are the best ways to fight it ? Thanks

Ai and antibacterial soap work when on a cycle

It's mostly genetics. I think that if you were prone to acne when you were a teenager then you're prone to get them again on cycle. I had acne on my face during my teenage years and I always get them on my face on cycle, but my last cycle I started getting alot of acne on my back. I'm thinking of going to the dermatologist and see if I could get Accutane even though I'm not quite thrilled by the side effects.

I must be that rare breed then. I'll get a few on my neck and face, plus around my hairline. I assume the hairline is due to the hard hat, sweatind and soiling. Only happens on certain compounds tho.

Fk, recently I had a special brew of mast/tren that I had some sort of allergic reaction to. Shit was fucking up my face bad. Par for the course i suppose; never really know how you're gonna react.

Keep the levels as even as possible by pinning the Test E at LEAST twice per week. Then use St Ives exfoliating scrub with the blemish control in it. Use topical acne medication then after the shower. Just be careful because it will bleach the coloring on your clothes if you use it on your shoulders.

There's a ton of threads on this already, use the search ping pong paddle on the top of the page.

no. 1 = stable hormone levels

Thanks jello. I did go for bloodwork and the test levels were high but I totally didn't think to check for estro. I just started taking aromasin this week so hopefully that will help. And I will have to look into the sulphur soap. Thanks !

After 6 weeks u decided to start ur ai?? When I would notice acne on my back that's a great indication of estro IMO but one remedy I loved was just standing in the sun and letting the uv rays penetrate and kill the bacteria under the skin or another thing was go to the beach and air dry wit sunlight or salt water dips and air drying helped me alot creams and medications were only making my acne issues worst good luck man and always look at ur estro when looking at bloods

I like to start my AI from the beginning bc once estro rises, gaining control then reaching maintenance dosages is more tricky. Acne is a symptom of elevated estro btw. Remember, prevention is the best medicine.

You don't necessarily need to go back and run bloodwork to correct this, unless you want to. I always encourage bloodwork for guys that have not yet determined what AI dose is appropriate for them at various given levels of testosterone and other aromatizing compounds. But, given the side effect, you can dose your AI now and treat until the side goes away, then drop to maintenance dose.

What AI do you have on hand?
