Please explain this very strange occurance :confused:

[Juice Authority]

For months following my last cycle back which ended back in Oct of 2003 I had some fairly bad acne on my back. Nothing helped. It just got worse and worse. I jumped back on a cycle a few weeks ago and all of the acne miraculously went away. All of it! Gone! Anyway, this has happened before. I usually get acne AFTER a cycle and it starts during PCT therapy. I never get acne while "ON". WTF? Any references to the dermatological phenomenon behind this would be appreciated.

Are you taking clomid???

Do an experiment for us....
Run an aromatose inhibitor BETWEEN cycles to keep estrogen suspended....I think this might help you

btw, do you run an aromatose inhibitor while ON?

Good question Term, do you think he has estrogen induced acne. No offense JA but the same thing happens to the O'lady when she comes off. Gets it on her stomach and back all I could figure was estrogen rebound. Any ideas anyone?

I'm just guessing, but I think that may be his problem. I know when I run a cycle w/o an aromatose inhibitor I break out (farily bad, imo), but when using one I get virtually no acne...

my theory has always been that with even blood levels, your hormones are even, so no acne. But afterwards, your hormone levels are all over the place, which leads to acne. Just like being a teenager

Yup thats what I was thinking. I always break out post cycle. I think its because your androgens drop and your test is high in response to the elevetad androgens. Elevated Estrogen makes almost everone break out to some degree.

i stopped caring about acne a long time ago....i just hit the tanning salon

happened to me on my first cycle, had acne all over my back. 4 months later jumped on a fina cycle and it all went away. Haven't seen it since. Its all about balancing your hormones. Arimidex and ending cycles with short acting esters made a world of a difference.

hormones affect the composition of skin secretions (oil content, hormone content) which in turn affects the numbers of randy, acne causing bacteria which will set up camp on your back. its very possible that the particular hormone profile at different times (on/off cycle,/pct) is the root cause

other factors will play a role, so its by no means the only thing causing it. clothes, temperature, immunity in the skin, activity level (lifting like a beast while on the roids) etc etc will come into it a bit
