Post cycle acne

[pdaddy]

Does anyone know the physiological reasoning behind why acne increases after a test cycle? I took my last 500mg test e shot 8 days ago and have seen an increase even after upping my B5. Anyone else experience this?

I have experienced this too. I usually have very little acne trouble on cycle, but the first couple of weeks I go off it gets really bad on my chest.

Interesting, you would think that it would be the opposite since your test levels are lower than when on, perhaps your body is attempting to compensate for the high test levels it had 'gotten used to', sort of an attempt to maintain homeostasis. I know I'm wrong though

hormones get all wacked out....some get this at the first shot some at the last??????

My trainiing partner gets it the worst when off cycle. I used it get it post cycle as well, then once i went back on it cleared up which I thought to be very strange. Now, I really dont get acne that bad at all anymore, it seemed to slowly get better and better as the years went by.

Is it safe to assume that the problem is worse if you are predetermined to acne vs not? I never really get it at all, and have gotten some while on but my test dose is on the low end (250 a week). I end this cycle in 2 weeks and would hate to have a new crop of zits.

I'm the same way. Off cycle my complextion is perfect, on cycle it might flare up a little in certain areas, comming off has become a totaly different story(twice as bad). This may perhaps deter me from using such an elevated dose next time even though 500mgs is considered mediocre in these parts.

One way to help with the acne is to get your body back to hormonal homeostasis. HCG & nolvadex for pct use with help you achieve this.

I'm using nolva and still getting pct acne. I guess i will have to throw the hcg in next cycle. It sucks because I take as much showers as I can and rub alchohol on me after I get out. They won't leave scars as long as I don't mess with them right?

I think they only leave scars when you have them there for a really long time. I don't have any acne scars, I get rid of mine right when they come up. Pop the shit out of them. No scars here.

I'd guess hormone fluctuations. I used to get backne after a cycle, but not any more really.
If it's a real problem, see a dermatologist and they should help get you clear, ar at least better till it goes away on its own.

If you are a person that had acne when you were young (age 13-17) you would understand why you get acne post cycle. Post cycle your natural test levels have been non existent. This is similar to a 10 year kid. When this 10 year kid reaches 13 his body begins puberty and his bodys ready to grow and develope, and test levels increase tenfold. Now it all depends whether a typical person gets acne mainly on the amount of test that converts into DHT, and this greatly depends on genetics, however when your on gear, and in particular during PCT, your gonna most likely get some DHT conversion which excess sebum production (oil), which P Bacteria will feed on, which will cause acne.

One thing to remember about B5 is when you up the dosage you usually get some sort of initial breakout. This actually is common with most acne meds because the cystic type acne is coming to the surface of your skin. If you don't want scarring, don;t ever pop zits unless you basically gently touch it and it pops. When you have to squeeze the skin hard to the the shit out thats when you skin will scar.

I had real bad acne when I was young on my face and body. I still get it a little. My face has mild scars but my body, especially my back and chest, has serious scarring because I popped those bitches.

Good information there bro, I appreciate you taking the time. Never heard of sebum or p bacteria, I'll have to try and find more info on that. You learn something new every day and knowledge is power!

sorry to bring up this old thread but theres some good info on here and i didnt find too many threads on acne post cycle.

im finishing up my 3rd cycle and never once had a problem with acne before. but this cycle, the last few weeks or so i started breaking out a little bit on my back and shoulders, nothing crazy.

my quesion is generally how long does the acne stay around once youre done with the cycle? im sure it varies from person to person but whats everyones experience?
