Why does GH cause acne for me?

[amazonas]

I've been on pharma gh (genotropin) at 3 IU for the past 7 months now and noticed since month 1 that my acne has increased a lot. I haven't changed anything in my life, i have been cruising on 200 test / 200 primo for all that time and i don't get any acne on this combo at all. I don't even get this acne on tren or masteron or when blasting test and other compounds. I rarely do.

I've read something to do with high serum GH and IGF1 levels causing acne, like when we were teenagers and IGF levels were sky high.

I am getting every single positive effect of GH, but better skin is not one of them, unfortunately. Anyone else experienced this?

Is this comment legit?

" No HGH doesnt cause acne, like steroids do for some, but if you have acne, it makes you hang on to it, due to cell death being prevented. Cell death is essential for acne. Thats why tanning works well for most because the act of tanning initiates cell death in the top dermal layers. Well, when you basically disable that with HGH, igf1, or other similar peptides, that acne not only hangs around, but it can become like part of your skin so to speak. What I mean by that is, if I have a big ass zit that hangs around for like a month due to the hgh, when the inflammation goes down, I now have thickened skin bump there, similar to scar tissue. Then it can become reirritated, and turn back into an acne nodule."

did you get your gh out of the pharmacy in person? If not, maybe it is HCG which can cause acne.

this does not matter. Test your GH with a pregnancy test. GH should improve your skin and not worsen your acne.

Brother, it's legit my IGF is off the chart. This is why i wrote down my theory and wanted to hear if anyone else was experiencing the same thing

ok.
but: GH does NOT cause acne. clear?

It might change something in your E2/prolactin ratio or your thyorid levels.
Check E2, prolactin, TSH, fT3 and fT4.

It could be a million things. 7 months ago, do you remember: did you change soap? Diet? Starting GH means you may have unwittingly changed other things.

Moving forward, let's kill this acne. Have you tried accutane or tretinoin?

If no other orals are in the mix, you might respond well to accutane (get liver tests too). Topical tretinoin is difficult to self-apply if the acne is all over your back, but maybe someone can help you with that.

correlation is not causation.

tanning helps acne, as kills bacteria maybe, tanning doesn't kill bad cells that cause acne lol.. tanning just make it alot more apparent and smooths your complexion. acne is bacteria and oil stuck in follicle or sebaceous gland not bad cells GH is keeping alive...dont listen to stupid people who make shit up.

a change in soap or laundry detergent or fabric softener can cause it to come on suddenly, so maybe that changed around the same time? try getting some nice sheets, that helps too.

my buddy got mad cysts/acne and shit from using head and shoulders shampoo...very sensitive skin for an iron worker lol TIDE gave him hives.

Did you ever resolve the acne?

No i just accepted it... GH is too good to quit in my opinion.

Is it just the Genotropin or do you suffer the same with generics?

Gh gives me more zits on my body and face. This happens with no change of soap, detergent, drugs, or diet (I eat clean regardless). It happens when I’m on gh and goes away when I’m off it. It’s not like the intense acne some get on aas, but I do have to use acne body wash every day indeed of like twice a week, and if I forget tretinoin or slack on skincare I get white heads. I figured it was some function of collagen synthesis. I just stay on top of it and it’s a non issue.

Is it the same for you on generics vs Pharma?

I had it on both. Wasn’t any better or worse on generics. Seems to get slightly worse the higher dose I go and starts within the first week of using gh. Again, absolutely nothing like the acne some get on aas, but it was noticeable enough my girl said something.

Funny isn't it how skin is supposed to improve!
I guess it's like you say either collagen or hyper skin regeneration.

Recently had bad chest and shoulder acne @ 5iu, only thing that cleared it up was aromasin.
Anyone get an E2 spike with HGH or have any other input?
