Acne

Cycle of Tren and MethylTest is over. PCT is finished. NOW, I'm getting a tremendous amount of acne on my back. I'm doing nothing different...haven't changed soaps or anything...

Will your natural production kicking back in cause this kind of thing? I don't get it though...while on cycle and during PCT I was fine...now it hits me.

Comments? Similar experiences?
 
It sounds like to me that you are still in a stage of trying to reach homeostasis. Large shifts in hormone products (ie PUBERTY) can cause this type of thing. I've always said that steroid associated acne is always most intense in the begginning as test levels really begin to rise (obviously with the use of test) and at the end when things begin to rebound..
 
For whatever reason I have had acne on my shoulders and back ever since my last cycle of M1Tas well. I kept thinking it was the soap or detergant I was using but same here nothing has changed. I used to only get one or two here and there, but it's a constant problem now.
 
see a dermatologist about it. Probably not wise to use accutane at the moment, but something like adaptalene would go alright.

I did a cycle of m1t and 4ad and had the same problem acne that no matter what I do will not go away.

I'm currently using erythromycin on it, and if that doesn't work I'll start using retin a micro on it.
 
Shower twice daily, using Oxy body wash and a loofa. This, in combination with differin gel nightly, killed my acne very quickly. :)
 
i used panoxyl 10% soap and antibiotics from the dermatologist. cleared everything up except now i have to go back to get somehting for all my scar tissue.

I use tret (retin) too, I get a rash from diffrin. Are you using the e-mycin topical or oral? The top does work for septic and surface acne pretty well.
 
It doesn't appear to be caused by any one compound be it PH or AS, it's just a common side effect that comes along with the androgen roller coaster ride. Some people get it at the beginning but most seem to get it at the end and it can last for several months PCT.

I once asked Patrick Arnold about this. He didn't have an iron clad answer, but speculated that it's triggered from just a change in baseline testosterone levels. And even in the decline (or absence PCT) the mechanism that causes sebaceous oil glands to produce takes time to turn off or turn on....... i.e. even when one is a month or 2 pct, it may take some time for the oil glands to ramp back down to normal production levels.

I found that using a long handled, soft bristled scrub brush, showering twice a day is a big help, although it doesn't eliminate the problem altogether.

Good luck.

Diffirin didn't do anything for me, and yes I am using the topical version. It does work well for surface acne, clearing up existing blemishes fast. I'm also using 1g of guggul for a while to see if that helps. I don't have a lot of acne but at 27 yrs old I don't want any.
 
bee propolis concentrate

i dunno whether u guys believe it or not, bee propolis help me a lot when i have acne vulgaris. I actually get it from my dad and after that i am sticking to it. Even though i ate junk food but after taking 10 to 16 drops if bee propolis concentrate, i dun have any acne coming out. Maybe u can give it a try instead of accutane or c-mysin something like that.

I'd read years ago that it increases phagocytosis, but never tried it. This would stimulate immunity and reduce inflamation, but I imagine getting a high quality brand, freshly prep'ed would make a big difference in the potency and effectiveness of natural products such as this. It's a good idea to go natural when possible.

Ziv, what brand did you take and for how long?
 
local

Actually its a local brand. Made in Malaysia. One bottle contains 10 ml, i can use it up to 3 weeks. And it cost me RM40(u change to ur currency). This stuff really works, but u have to use it up to 5 days to see the result, if my acne get worse i take it in the morning and at night. Normally i just take it b4 i sleep.
 
Ziv, that's what I had heard. That it works best if prep'ed from propolis harvested within a 10 mile radius of where you live. That's not available to most of us. :(

Too bad. My allergies get severe at times and I always wanted to try it for that. That's it, I moving to Malaysia!

Must be kidding man, move to Malaysia. Its hard to get a lot of drugs here do u know that? cos the main reason is not much people know how to use it and the demand is low. Right now i am looking for Anavar like hell and still can't get it. I think acne get worst becos we didn't control our diet right?
I think maybe u can just try any concentrate propolis u have over there, who knows u might get suprise like me the first time.
