Did you ever have blood work ran to confirm your hormonal levels were back to normal? Not bashing you, but second cycle, you should have the facts down pat before running even your first. Maybe your liver levels never returned to normal due to drinking after your original cycle. Guessing if you didn't have blood work, you prod didn't detox/ cleanse your system or preload any support supps. Some people don't need to, while others can't safely run a cycle without doing it. Everyone is different which is why you can rely on others input through a forum. Look into Cholestasis. I believe I spelled it correctly. It is a malfunction of the liver that can lead to the itchy, splotchy red areas you are referring to. Also, your adrenal glands/ function could be out of whack also. Not trying to scare you, but adrenal malfunction can also lead to the symptoms you previously stated. You can't get cocky when it comes to PH/DS. This **** messes with your hormones on a serious level and if taken lightly can have serious side effects. To many people think its a "get big quick an easy" pill. For instance, I know a guy who was sold SDMZ. Didn't do his research ad was taking 30 mg a day for weeks and weeks. No support supps, no PCT and around week 7-8 he started shutting down. Bad. Superdrol and DMZ for 7 weeks at 30mg and he is lucky he didn't have serious, long term side effects. He now has done his research, realizes his mistakes and has learned first had the importance of research, getting blood work done not just relying on how you "feel" and also taking proper time off cycles. To only be in week one and have a possible side effect that could mean serious liver complications, for me, would mean stopping the cycle, doing a week of PCT or two, and getting blood drawn immediately. Won't be accurate exactly but at least will show liver values. Don't rely on this site for research. Use it for opinions. Find solid, medically backed websites and learn what exactly your really doing to your body/ internal organs while cycling. Find out the true level each compound works at, what PCT actually means, what clomid is actually doing during your PCT etc etc. knowledge is key. Sorry for the rant, just my .02.
