People who had acne in puberty and take Steroids

[zylt]

Hey guys I got a question:

I want to start with steroids (Test E 350m/week), but had really bad acne during the age of 14-18. My question is will I get acne just as bad as that time and how could I prepare myself for these situations and maybe diet wise change everything to minimize acne/pimples as much as possible?

Anyone who had acne in their teens with any good advice?


thank you

Hard to say but yeah, you have a predisposition with the right hormone levels. It may be as simple as high T, or might also require higher E2, or a certain T:E2 ratio threshold. Who knows. But be prepared.

I used low dose isotretinoin (accutane, isotret, etc... dozens of brand names) and it works well... too well sometimes, very chapped lips, eczema, dry sinuses, etc. Gotta treat the sides in that case.

Used to use minocycline and doxycycline which can be perhaps 1/2 or maybe only 1/4 as effective as accutane, but for mild/moderate acne it can do the trick. Problem is minocycline will slowly grey your teeth on the inside and after many years you'll see it through the enamel. I had a dentist alert me before it got visible. But, ALL antiobiotics can seriously screw up your GI tract. At this point I avoid em, rather take the small risks of low dose accutane instead.

Also, most of us here started with 500-600 mg/wk as 1st cycles per a previous guide we had around, and it's a safe dose. But your 350 mg is an excellent idea for being cautious about possible huge acne flare-ups and figuring out what doses of AI and acne meds you'll need.

I don't have probs with acne unless my cycle goes over 12 weeks, then my chest and back get some.

Keeping levels stable is where its at, the come up and comedown are where it gets pimply. Keep your levels stable and it shouldn't be too much of a problem on 350-500mg.

In puberty one's levels are all over the place so it makes it bad.

Accutane bruh.... use the search bar on this board. Tons of info. Vision even ran an accutane log of sorts.

donÂ’t let zits stand in your way of gainz!

Any problems with acne now?

I'd say get blood work done before starting your cycle sand check your e2 and test. Keep your e2 under control and you will have an easier time managing sides.

speaking of zits- anyone ever had one on their dick? I hate whiteheads and have to pop them- I remember one on my dick once- different sensation when fucking too- I shit you not

Edit: Above is a true story

but yes, if prone as teen better be prepared now- I get them on my chest and shoulders mostly

Had one on my nut sac once.... turns out it was an ingrown hair but freaked me out. Ended up getting a full std panel done. Clean and clear and ready to go now boss!

when your zit is bigger than your balls, you know the test is good to go!

You may try using 500mgs B-5 pantothenic acid and 250mgs l-carnitine every day as a maintenance dose for your skins clarity. You can take it 3-4 times a day and it will make substantial differences in your skin ever if your already broken out. Ive used the for years and turned many people on to it with much success, now its not like accurate or anything harsh like that, its inexpensive, effective and has no sides at all.

I had awful acne during those teen years. Same problem when cycling...however I've found keeping my estrogen within normal range, not letting it get too high, and a vast majority of the acne doesn't show up. Wish my docs would have thought of that when I was 15...

only small pimples sometimes or ingrown hair because of my beard. My face was perfect until I started to work out and eat more
