what causes pimples (on cycle)???

[Crappiie]

is it
A. the steroid compound itself.
B. the oil that youre injecting.
C. the change in hormones (whether it be higher test or lower estrogen).
D. something different alltogether.

I'm not 100% sure but I thought it was the increase of estrogen.

An increase in estrogen or testosterone can cause an increase in sebum (the skin's natural oil) that leads to acne.

It's both the fluctuation in hormones and holding water, which kinda go hand in hand. Too much test into estrogen and I usually hold water and my skin breaks out. If I miss a shot...I break out. When on cycle I dont usually ever break out, only when I hold water or miss a shot. When I'm on tren (which keeps me very dry) I dont break out much compared to not on it. I think its primarily water retention that causes the break out. Wether it be the fluctuation of hormones that causes the water retention or something else...I blame the water!!

I notice my fair skinned friends seem to break out the most. And Im talking welts. Not just pimples. I suppose its just something thats user specific.

Do you happen to shave those areas? Sounds more like ingrown hairs than acne.

Speaking from what my dermatologist told me, it's not actually acne. It's your body oil mixing with the sweat to irritate the skin. Since there's an increase in oil on your skin, mixing sweat into it is to much. He suggested to take a towel and wipe off my neck, upper back during workouts. And within a week it was gone.

No. I need to shave though. I look like a wolly mammoth.
