Acne After Cycle Still??? Why Is This??

[bryan2430]

hey guys i just finished up a 14 wkr of Test E at 500mgs a week my first cycle. I am currently taking Clo for PCT and i finished about 2 weeks ago and i noticed my acne on my back, shoulders, and chest has not got any better. Its about the same as it was during cycle and at times a little worse depending on the day but why am i still getting acne probs even after cycle. Is my body still trying to balance itself back out so it needs time before it goes back to normal or what. Any help or personal exp would be great thanks.

I've read some guys get ance during cycle, some in PCT really bad and some during cycle and pct and then the lucky fuckers who don't get it at all. I'd suggest accutane, that stuff kicks ass and im gonna be taking it with my cycle to keep acne at a min.

Well... That might stick with you for a loooong time dude, unless you get some pills against it.. Its one of the sides that you dont want to have, it can and will be there until you get something done, just like gyno..

Your ratio of estrogen to testosterone is increasing as you come off cycle (caused in part by increased aromatase activity). As your bodyfat increases, there is further conversion of testosterone to estradiol. Although clomid is an estrogen-blocker to a certain extent, it is NOT decreasing the actual amount of estrogens in your system. These in turn are causing your acne. The best OTC method I have found is Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) 2.5 grams twice a day. Take this in addition to using Benzoyl Peroxide/Retin A cream topically. I find Accutane to be overkill and too hepatoxic.

hormone fluctuations

Unless he's on orals or a high dose of accutane (100+mg) it's not going to be that hepatoxic at all if his levels even rise.

I disagree on that 100% bro??? Comparing acne with gyno????....totally different ball game there bro. I get acne during cycle and when im done with my cycle its gone.You saying it will never leave with out a PILL??? ,thats crazy bro!!!!!! Tanning, salt water some shampoos, lots of theses things work for people.

Well.. Those things never worked for my mates, it was serius acne they ended up with, not just a little here and there.. But all over the back,face,shoulders and the breast, the only thing that worked for them, was the pill.. Maybe its only my friends that have that kind of acne from AAS.. But i have never got it from the steroids that i have tryed, so i guess that im lucky..

well my acne isnt really that bad at all in consideration but it is noticabley worse than off cycle but i just wanted to know if it was cause of all the hormone fluctuation would it go away and i know it will not completely go away but settle itself down a lil with use of a topical and keeping the areas clean and such

If its not TOO BAD, then try using minocyline, its an antibiotic used to treat acne. Worked really well for me after my first test cycle. Now I just dont run test and sub it with proviron. Just my .02
