Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below hey guys i just finished up a 14 wkr of Test E at 500mgs a week my first cycle. I am currently taking Clo for PCT and i finished about 2 weeks ago and i noticed my acne on my back, shoulders, and chest has not got any better. Its about the same as it was during cycle and at times a little worse depending on the day but why am i still getting acne probs even after cycle. Is my body still trying to balance itself back out so it needs time before it goes back to normal or what. Any help or personal exp would be great thanks.
Acne After Cycle Still??? Why Is This??

Your ratio of estrogen to testosterone is increasing as you come off cycle (caused in part by increased aromatase activity). As your bodyfat increases, there is further conversion of testosterone to estradiol. Although clomid is an estrogen-blocker to a certain extent, it is NOT decreasing the actual amount of estrogens in your system. These in turn are causing your acne. The best OTC method I have found is Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) 2.5 grams twice a day. Take this in addition to using Benzoyl Peroxide/Retin A cream topically. I find Accutane to be overkill and too hepatoxic.

Tanning, salt water some shampoos, lots of theses things work for people.

Well.. Those things never worked for my mates, it was serius acne they ended up with, not just a little here and there.. But all over the back,face,shoulders and the breast, the only thing that worked for them, was the pill.. Maybe its only my friends that have that kind of acne from AAS.. But i have never got it from the steroids that i have tryed, so i guess that im lucky..
well my acne isnt really that bad at all in consideration but it is noticabley worse than off cycle but i just wanted to know if it was cause of all the hormone fluctuation would it go away and i know it will not completely go away but settle itself down a lil with use of a topical and keeping the areas clean and such

I never break-out during cycle, always after...starting from P-C-T and well beyond. HCG typically causes acne because it raises estrogen. Clomid is an estrogen. During PCT and beyond, your body's hormones are trying to re-adjust...that takes time...weeks, months even. Gotta be patient. What works for me... drink tons of water, use something like Neutrogena Body Wash Scrub... go tanning once or twice a week (don't use any of those lotions). Also, look into getting clindamyacin topical solution from your doctor. It doesn't zap acne away immediately, but over-time it works on it an even helps prevent some. I also tend to break-out less when I eat cleaner.

The gear is still in your system and the sides will continue,
But will soon subside,
Don’t worry, it will go a way.
