Acne after my cycle is over!
ad
Just possibly looking for a reason why my acne is flaring up after my cycle is over? I'm currently in my fourth week of pct...40/40/20/20 nolva and 100/100/50/50 clomid and 12.5/12.5/6.25/6.25 aromasin. My cycle was week 1-8 500mg/week test e weeks 9-16 375mg/week test e weeks 1-16 500mg/week eq. The acne wasn't and isn't bad through my cycles but as soon as I start pct and basically up until my next cycle it gets bad. I'm currently taking doxycycline which seems to be helping. Need to go get labs but hoping for some advice before then.

I read up a little of FSH. The follicle stimulating hormone, in females, stimulates the lady part that releases the egg.
When chicks get hormonal acne it's related to the big surge in FSH. When chicks go on the pill, they prevent the surge of FSH, and often see reduced acne as a side effect.
My theory, Serms = increased FSH
increased FHS = hormonal acne.
VanillaGorilla99lotso vito C and Sunshine. should eat it right up, maybe take 2 weeks. just did it for me about 80% wiped out, i burnt about twice and peeled good..gross. but it seemed to get it good. make sure to pop 2G vit C prior to tan to not burn as much. gl
I have the same problem, I'm in my 3rd week of pct and during week 2 I broke out really bad on my shoulders and back. During cycle I have no acne so this is obviously a symptom from the hormonal fluctuation, Last week I took 12.5 mg of Aromasin eod for the week and used the wives acne wash now it is almost completely gone.
Pop a small dose of aromasin. Carlos can help a lot here. Iron is spot on, hormone roller coaster = sides, one of which being acne. Usually its estrogen that's causing it. Thus the aromasin. Pop 12.5 one night then follow up with 6.25 nightly to follow up. Should help a lot.
I had some minor bacne after my last cycle, it lingered until I started my current cycle, now its gone.
On after cycle bloods, I noticed that my follicle stimulating hormone was 3 times higher than it was for my pre cycle baseline.
I wonder if FSH plays a role in acne.
Ya one major cause of acne is hormonal flucuation and imbalances which is exactly what your dealing with right now. Same shit happens to my friend, no acne on cycle then after , boooom bacne that took 4 months to clear. Just try it be as clean as possible, change your sheets frequently, shower twice a day and always directly after you lift. Get a good Benzyl peroxide scrub to.
Coming off cycle people tend to get acne due to hormone fluctuations. Your body is trying to level itself out. Alot of people deal with this issue.
