7 weeks in....bad sides.

[Codybk]

8 weeks into my Test E cycle 500mg/wk etc etc

UNBELIEVABLE amount of acne breakout on the rear part of my delts, and covering my entire back. Not huge welts, little looking pimples. None come to whiteheads, all seem to be under the skin but it's certainly getting worse as I go. I'm supposed to be going for 12 weeks but thinking about cutting it to 10 just because of how bad this is getting.

Anyway to control the outbreak?

I had nothing else to control acne but I got a bit on cycle and used the Nizoral shampoo I was using on my scalp on my chest/shoulders and the pimples disappeared, try that?

I really feel for you acne is horrible just make sure your showering twice a day and go on sun bed 2x week swimming would be good but I'm sure you wouldn't want to be showing your back off in the pool lol good luck.

Tanning helps a lot to dry the skin and keep the acne down. Also you ca pick up some N2clear from NTBM which works wonderfully for clearing acne

 

[sterolizer]

Stick to pharm grade meds, go talk to your doctor about accutane. It is the best thing I have ever done for my skin no joke. I've been on it now for about 5 months and my skin has never been so clear

 

[stevesmi]

if you are prone to acne this is very common. luckily I am not so I cannot give you the best advice aside from lowering the dosage and getting on some NTBM acne products. they have several different choices to choose from. I would try them before going on accutane which can be pretty damn harsh.

if its getting out of control you should stop your cycle immediately as it will take about 5 weeks to clear out of your system. you don't want to get infections and have to go on anti-biotics if things start to get really bad.

I had the same thing about 2 years ago. The pimples seemed to start like little bumps under the skin. I did not lower my dosage and went ahead into the end of the cycle...the pimples all turned into big red ones all over my chest. I was completely covered until I finished the cycle and like Steve said it cleared my system. That was on Sustanon human grade, Ive been running prop for about 7 weeks and had little to no acne.

 

[Codybk]

Thanks for the advice fellas. I'll try tanning and take an extra shower daily rather than just 1 normally. Also an astringent. As for adjusting my cycle or keeping it going, I'm still deciding. Not trying to go through the summer here on the east coast with my back looking how it does.

I dont feel acne is a bod side.... If i did not get acne I would worry about me gear being legit.

We use acne annihialtor scrub by platinum labz,,,its always worked real for us.
It may also be time to hit PCT also.

 

[burnthiscorpse]

Accutane....while its pharm stuff and it works....its really fucking unhealthy. its like anything though, some people tollerate it and some get nasty side effects from it.

 

[Codybk]

Well you guys were right. About 5 weeks of being off, I cleared up for the most part. I seem to just get a bit here and there with a sweaty back, otherwise it's looking great. Thanks for the help.

 

[Codybk]

Well, sorry to bring this back, but it's been since June and the only improvement I've seen is no chest acne. My back acne isn't AS BAD as it was but breaks out badly from week-to-week but my shoulders (from, sides, and back) are still covered. Back and shoulders range from small under the skin dots to whiteheads here and there. It seems relentless. Talked to a few friends and they mentioned anti-bacterial body wash (which I used and still used) doesn't seem to help. Used Platinum Labz Acne Annihilator (with their prescribed usage) and hasn't worked. I am in PA, so the warm weather is gone meaning my skin hasn't been sweaty or oily from hot weather since it's Nov now, but I just can't seem to break this backne and shoulder acne. It's getting to the point where it's bothering my personal confidence demeanor looking in the mirror. I know it sounds kinda homo, but I never had to deal with anything "ugly" like this that I couldn't fix.

PLEASE ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS I WILL TRY! THANK YOU GUYS!!!!

 

[burnthiscorpse]

What did you run for pct?

Aside from that I'm the last person that would ever recommend accutane because its awful for your body but it might be an only option to get your problem under control.

 

[Aplopez8]

Accutane man don't let everyone scare you from it . It will clear your whole body up . It doesn't happen over night it takes about 3 months to really see the effect and the first month you may have even more acne than before but once you get passed that initial break out its worth it!

 

[Codybk]

PCT was HCG, Nolva, and Adex (during). My younger brother actually took Accutane and it worked for him, I just remember hearing about potential life threatening sides and him signing release form after form. Potential blindness, hairloss, sterilization, liver failure, heart palpitations........death.

Yeah....accutane works. But its really awful for yoour body.


HCG and Nolva is about the worst PCT I could think of. HCG is suppressive so it doesnt help you recover. Its supposed to be used PRe PCT for full nut size going into PCT.
Nolva is absolute shit and can cause blood clots no less and does nothing but block ALL estrogen. Some of which you need to balance your hormones. What happens with a big hormone imbalance??? Sides like fucking bad acne!

You had nothing in there to help you recover? Have you gotten bloods done? I would say your endocrine system is probably still out of whack.
I would run another PCT. Yes, even this far removed. A correct one.

 

[Codybk]

Any suggestions?

 

[burnthiscorpse]

Any suggestions?

First and foremost Bloodwork! Full lipids and free and total test, estrogen, progesterone ect.

 

[RADAR]

also mega doses of B5 starting at a gram will help,adjust from there.

 

[maccy]

Tanning and a good acne wash has worked well for me aswell as anti bacterial cream...also got some Accutane prescribed so will stop it getting worse

"obsessed is what the lazy call the motivated"

 

[Codybk]

Nervous, but ready for another cycle this summer. Used all kinds of washes and anti-bacterial everything on my skin. Even Benzoyl Peroxide 10% didn't work much. Finally got some Doxycycline from my dermatologist which knocked out the acne in a few weeks. Thinking about an 8 week Test E and Anavar cycle with HCG in there. Don't really want to do HCG but people seem to rave about it on cycle.
