Acne breakout on test e cycle

[RockRambo]

Friends,

I am almost approaching the 10th week of my cycle and I have had an acne breakout on my face (..My skin isn't oily per se but of course with test it has become. Now, the condition of the acne doesn't look severe in terms of deep penetration into the skin. They are only pink colored tiny papules but are a lot in number .. I have been applying Retino-A 0.05% cream on my face very sparingly , like skipping a day or two in applying because I read that too much of retino-A is also not good, however, the acne has grown a little in number. So, my question is should I increase the application of the cream twice a day for 3-4 days and see the results? There is no burning sensation on the face , no itching and no puss anywhere. Just the galaxy of small papules. Also, I hope they won't leave any scars, right? And when will they subside fully? only after PCT?

Are you using an AI to manage estrogen levels?

Fuck man that sucks. I got acne on my chest and shoulders and arms but not my damn face. Not that im pretty or nothin but I sure wouldn't wanna show up to work lookin like puberty struck twice. That's not normal for a thirty yr old

@Northern Nutrition I am under the impression e2 has nothing to do with it. If it did every woman would be a zit ball.

What makes me breakout is hormone fluctuations. .. when I am ramping up a cycle or coming down I always break out... once steady on a blast or cruise I am fine... how often are you pinning? I pin eod with long ester (cyp) because even twice a week pinning seems to be enough fluctuation for zits.

Second, zits are caused by bacteria. Removal of body hair is huge for me. My chest and back break out viciously with hair... I shave, zits are gone. Make sure you are using antibacterial soap and very hot water and showering at least twice a day. Change your sheets and pillowcases daily as well. Apple cider vinger (unfiltered) works well too. Good luck... I have the same issues and this worked for me.

There are several reasons. Pick one. Unusually high E2 is one and often the culprit in most cases.

I've got a massive zit on my already oversized nose. How many glasses of that Apple Cider do you think I will have to drink to get rid of it Brutus?!!

Apply directly to the skin a few times a day after washing with antibacterial soap... do your whole face as preventative. Stinks but works.

If you are on a tight budget and have no pride...

And that is ammonia.

Guys, thanks for posting. So, I have not been using any AI on cycle. I knew I am not susceptible to gyno (kept arimidex at hand but decided not to use it). The mistake that I might have been making was pinning 500 mg once which I should have broken to two 250 mg Mon/Thursday. Now, I will pin on Sunday (my 11th week dose). Points to be considered are :
1) Don't have a bacne or anything (just few shoulder papules and some tiny ones on back but no breakout or anything like that)
2) Facial acne is also tiny papules (pink dots) but little large in number that they get noticed..

Yes, I researched about the meds/ precautions that I should be taking. However, what I want to know is :
1) Should I see a doc given my acne situation right now just to control it that it doesn't go bad during PCT or thereafter? (I am running test only till 12 th week).
2) If I do see the doc, what should I tell him the cause of it? (I know it's hormonal and primarily oily skin caused by test and I didn't take good care of it, etc. because my skin is not oily and I didn't get an acne even when I hit puberty).I don't want to say that I am on a cycle
3) When do you think the acne will go away given my current situation?

Thanks

I wouldn't tell him how you got it. Just tell him to fix it. He gets his money and you get your resolution.

ya that's true bro, so the treatment for this acne wouldn't change if it has been caused by hormonal changes , right? an acne is an acne is acne regardless?

Im no doctor but I would think so. Everyone is worried that if they say their issue was caused by an illegal substance like test that it may make it's way back to your insurance and cause complications. I would say silence is best but it certainly doesn't help them diagnose you any easier

You could try researchstop accutane will def fix it but some say it has harsh sides. I usually dont notice sides with anytjing. Its also like bringing a bazooka to a knife fight.
