Acne Agony

[Big Burt]

I am hoping someone can help me figure this out.

I ran an 11 week cycle of Sustanon 500 EW with the last 6 weeks of EQ 300 EW. I also ran some Winny tabs during the last 6 weeks.

I ran Nolva throughout the cycle and one week after the last injection.

Two weeks after my last shot, I had a massive outbreak of acne on my shoulders, back and stomach. I knew acne was part of the risk, but I had no idea it would be this bad. I was prone to acne as an adolescent, but it was mostly on my face.

I went to the dermatologist and he said "oh, that's definitely steroid acne" (which freaked me out - felt I was busted) and then he gave me a topical wash with benzoil peroxide and a perscription of pills called Doxycycline.

Two months later, I still have the acne. It's gotten a bit better, but it's not all the way gone. I continue to get the zits, but not as bad as the initial outbreak. I want to do a new cycle, but I don't want to continue to juice if this is going to continue happening to me.

I don't even want to take my shirt off. What's the point of growing your muscles only to keep them covered up?

Here's what I'd like to know:

1. Are there better gear choices to avoid this in the future?
2. If I start again, do you think it would possibly go away, or get worse?
3. What is the best PCT to avoid this?

I'm 45 and this was my very first cycle. I gained 15 lbs of muscle and was super happy, horny and pushing great weight.

Please help me men. I don't want this to end my career.

Thanks everybody.

I broke out at the end of all my test cycles when I did Test Cyp it was the worst sus was not as bad. I used proactive and it worked good.

Try some vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid) - its cheap & you can get it at any GNC or whatever.

Try loading it for a few days - like 3-4000 mg/day - see if you notice things clearing up at all. If it doesn't do anything, you only lost a few bucks.

Just means you are prone to it....It comes from the fluctuation of hormones. It will more than likely subside once your HPTA reaches homestasis, which could be a while considering your PCT was one week of Nolvadex.

make sure that you take your doses each week so that your hormone levels remain level, also wash with antibacterial soap, and use a back scrubber to get back good.
if you sweat, change shirt often through out day, wear mostly cotton so it absorb and you do not have moisture sitting stuck on your skin

good luck to you

1) hot showers, followed by exfoliation

2) possible topical anti acne products ( salcylic acid is dirt cheap OTC and works for many)

3) Diet and Anti E Management

4) last resort Accutane

So does just about everybody get this acne? Are there better types of test or other drugs that are less likely to bring this on? I'll definitely go with the advice given, but moving forward - what would you suggest in terms of a "less likey to cause acne" stack that will still give me nice gains?

I have skin like an airburshed abercrombie model on (especially tren/prop) but the same thing happens 2 weeks after I come off, shoulder and back cystic acne. Its awful, and I'm not acne prone. It only lasts 2-3 weeks for me but I always have recovered quickly. If you want to run another cycle I would use some accutane ed or eod for the last 2 weeks of your cycle and maybe you can prevent it. If not, benzoyl peroxide a few times a day does it for me on the surface, but I just have to ride out the cystic stuff. I hope this helps.
