I ended my first test e cycle about 4 months ago, I started doing 350 a week then up’d It to 500. I used chlomid for pct. I didnt get a single spot on me untill o came off & started pct, ever since then it’s been a nightmare, horrible all over my back, chest & shoulders. I’m wondering if I get back on will it go away, or make it worse? I’m planning on doing another cycle anyway, I absolutely loved it (besides the pinning)
I’ve heard that some people can have reactions like that to some PCT drugs like nolva and clomid. Will probably go away once you finish PCT. starting again before it has cleared up will likely make it worse.
I finished pct like 4 months ago, still no signs of letting up. But honestly I used chlomid for pct & I didn’t get a single zit untill I started the chlomid so maybe that’s what did it
Check E2 and DHT. Those are sometimes responsible for acne.
Remember puberty? Did you break out during those years where your testosterone levels kept increasing? Basically that is what is happening as your natural production is getting back to a normal range. You were at zero by the end of your cycle, once you started the clomid you started producing again and that level keeps increasing. With how much time that has been passed I am willing to bet your production is just about back to a normal range but all the other stuff like aromatase enzymes and shbg are still trying to level out.
It wouldn’t hurt to get your levels checked but ultimately I bet you just need time to finally settle all your levels.
Anytime our levels are not stable we are more likely to break out. I myself like to switch to test prop the last three weeks of a cycle so I can just jump into PCT. When I switch from enanthate to propionate that is when I start breaking out.
One of the few things I have found that helps is I use a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol. I wipe down any area I might break out on. By the end the cotton ball is heavy with the oily residue my skin produces on cycle and an almost yellowish brown color. If this helps on cycle then it should really help your situation.
Thank you all for your help, I really appreciate the advice! I’m probably about to hop on again honestly so I’ll make a new post about what I should do
