Acne breakout on test e cycle

[BigDave]

Hey Man. I have bouts of acne (even before AAS) now and again. Not terrible, but annoying. I use retin-A daily, and my doc prescribed me Doxycycline. When I do have a flare up (on or off AAS), I take the Doxy 100mg 2xday for a week. I am usually fine then for 4-6 months. While the antibiotic itself doesn't last that long, once it kills whatever bacteria is causing it it seems to stay dead for a while. I might just tell your doc you have a friend this worked for, and maybe he will prescribe. I have an Rx with a bunch of refills and I take when needed. Good luck

bad issue, bro! I got acne on y chest, back, neck and face during tes-e and deca cycle. Now I've finished my 12 weeks cycle, so androgen levels are dropping down and obviously acne is worse than when I wan on cycle...Im using antibiotic and antimycotic topic cream, zync soap and other shit...but it is still there...Im considering the idea to consult a dermatologist. And, obviously, I wanna tell him the real reason I got acne, for 2 reasons: the first one is an earlier and easier dignosis (dont want to lie without any sense and reason...dont give a fuck what he will think) and the second one is that the doctor once Im naked he will understand the real reason by his self...so I will go straight to the point and stop.

Seeing the doc is wise, but i didnt have the time or ability so i went all out with accutane. Amazing results!

I saw a derm and told him I went to a TRT clinic and then acne started happening. It's mostly the truth, but all he did was prescribe Doxy. Take this and come back in 2 months. Still have it on my chest, back and shoulders and it's been months, not as bad but still there. Accutane is next

Wont tell ya where to get it from since i already did, but i will say mine was bad on my back and shoulders. It didnt do a whole lot until around day 7 i noticed a flair up some of the bigger ones didnt wanna pop shit hurt even it was like the pores had closed up. I up the dose a lil and pushed through that for about 3 days now acne is gone like it packed it shit and left. Gonna probably lower my dose in a few days and see how it works out only because my skin atarts to peel slightly around my chin and mouth if i dont put lotion on it a couple times a day lol but hey i can take my shirt off again and feel good.

I use a gram pantothenic acid, and vitamin B12 when I get a break out it works for me if it's not too severe

How much of retin-A do you use daily? I have started to use it at least twice a day and I do see the papules getting smaller in size..That just happens within a day of application..there is no puss anywhere..but then they don't go all together at all..So the cream is definitely working but then I wanted to know how much should I be applying daily and for how long? I never ever had any acne even during puberty..It is the first time that I have got a facial acne (may be didn't take of my face because of the oily skin that test gave me). And should I wait for my cycle and/ or PCT to finish to see the doc? (I am thinking to do so as I know the cause of acne so just want to wait and see until my PCT finished because the acne, as of now, isn't bad) Or, do you think it is a bad idea?

I actually use the retin-A because I get ingrown hairs sometimes. Helps with that as well, but acne too. I use a small dab (maybe size of pencil eraser) after shaving in AM and after I wash up before bed every day. Just make sure you don't get too dry. I use a moisturizer after I apply retin-A and don't get it around eyes/mouth or I get all flakey. I have been using it daily for years. Helps with the wrinkles too for us old men. Love me some man beauty products!!!

Also... Be careful in summer. It causes light sensitivity, so you can get a terrible sun burn. I don't have the problem, but many do... So just be cautious in sun or if you go skiing this winter.

thanks bro..and how about waiting to see the doc until my PCT? just to get the test and other drugs (Clomid/nolva) to clear out of my system..?

 

[BigDave]

If the retin-a is working, and you have the acne under control... I would just stick with that. If it is bothering you, I would see the doc. No way to tell whether the acne will get better or worse once you start PCT, so I would just go to doc when it gets to a point that is bad... Or if you think it might get bad you can go and see if he gives you something. Then you would be prepared. Once PCT is over and you are back up and running natural... Skin should be good again.

Thanks BigDave ! I guess I will wait then and pray it doesn't get bad..also, I am thinking of using Albuterol during PCT (just for 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off for 6-8 weeks)..That shouldn't be aggravating any acne, right? I mean it is not hormonal at all..so need to worry there?

Don't think the albuterol should be an issue. Not 100% as I haven't run it.

My acne gets pretty bad when taking test. I just started taking tetracycline (1000mg/day). We'll see if things get any better.

 

[brutus79]

Now you don't feel like yours is too bad I bet.

Omg, that looks like a shotgun wound.

Just figured I'd chime in here.
As everyone knows I was running test E with pins only once a week for 6 weeks and the Acne was getting pretty bad. After the 6th week I went to pinning twice a week and now my acne is back to normal. I also was not taking an AI for the first 4 weeks of the cycle until I had bloods ran, but the acne didn't stop until I went to twice a week pins. So I assume my situation was from hormone fluctuations.
Rock I hope you get yours under control brother. Good luck.
