The only thing that has helped me combat acne is proscar taken at least three times a week at 1.25mgs and shower at least once daily.

Had a buddy of mine take proscar. He was not an aas user. Said he got better and eventually no pimples at all, but got some serious sides. He was having super low test levels. The doc wouldn't do a testosterone panel on him because he felt like he was to young (25) for his test to be low. He looked super depressed all the time and never had any motivation to workout anymore. Even though his hair looked much better and he had no acne, he was still depressed.The only thing that has helped me combat acne is proscar taken at least three times a week at 1.25mgs and shower at least once daily.

Its later that he told me that after 6 months on proscar he couldn't handle the low test. He said his girlfriend started to question him and he thought she was gonna leave him. At one point he told me he was having thoughts of suicide...... which this guy used to be the most optimistic person I knew.
He's stopped taking the drug for over a year now, but says he still has very low libido and feels like his test is slowly coming back.
I would switch to accutane if you could bro. I wouldn't want anyone else to face what I saw in my friend.

Thats exactly what I told him. He was totally against steroids, which is stupid considering he took proscar and messed up his test levels. Ive just seen the side effects of proscar first hand and would not recommend it.Proscar is 5mg of finasteride per cap assuming he didn't cut them up. That's a high dose when running it for 6 months (I'm assuming e/d and that he didn't cut). Normal finasteride dose is 1mg ed and generally it's run for the cycle and a month or so after pct.
In saying that it is an amazing drug to prevent hair loss on test and acne as it seems. Accutane + finasteride = killer combo
Doc was a dick for not helping your friend out but I'd rather have low test with no acne and a full set of hair then the opposite. Shoulda got him on the juice when he said his test was low
I forgot to mention that I have used Roaccutane with great success but also with extremely dry, painful lips. I am not going to go through that again. It was fucking hell.
From what I understand, it happens because your hormone levels are fluctuating like crazy and trying to find a balance. Your androgens are up and causing high levels of sebum production. Lots of people have the same issue. I get that too only in PCT though. I normally had moderate acne on my face a little, but during the cycle I am almost completely clear. Then during PCT I break out on my back and shoulders like crazy.I have a couple questions for you guys, maybe you have some advice, or maybe you have experienced this before.
So I recently ran my first blast 6 months ago, Cyp only. My skin was fine through out. I liked the results so I decided I wanted to cruise to my next cycle and if it goes well continue on TRT, self administered.
These last 3 months while cruising (low dose 150 weekly) I have been getting cystic acne on my chest, back, and a few on my arms. Why now and not while on blast?
I switched over to another brand, not sure if that would make a difference? At first I was inj once a week, but switched to twice and it has helped a bit, but not a whole lot. That was about 3 weeks ago.
To those who have used Accutane with on trt/cycle does it keep it away even after you are done, or does acne come back once you have stopped the accutane?
I would really like to get this figured out, I enjoy how I feel while subplimenting Test, but I hate this painful acne bullshit.
First question I would ask is did you run labs while blasting?I have a couple questions for you guys, maybe you have some advice, or maybe you have experienced this before.

FYI
I'm on blast-cruise-blast since Jan 16 and I got acne bad on on the first cruise and hasn't gone away. I'm 100 x 20mg pills into my accutane journey and the acne has been significantly reduced. I fluctuate between 60mg - 80mg ed. I have had zero side yet. My lips have felt like they've been sunburnt but it seems to go away after a day or so.
I'm still getting a consistent 5 or so whiteheads around my shoulders and back. I'm on ugl acne and thinking it's quite under dosed
