Skin is red

[superleg74]

I am on a Deca/Test cycle and my skin is turning red. Any ideas?

toomer????

I am just about to finish my first cycle (it is test/deca as well).

Anyway, about 6 weeks into it, my face turned bright red and I started to hear a lot about it from friends/family/coworkers.
Concerned, I posted about it and most people thought it was my BP........but, when I went and checked it, it was roughly 130/80.

After a few days of "red face", I started breaking out in hives.......for two weeks, I grew more and more hives and my face got redder and redder. I looked like a sick mofo and was just about to abort the cycle when I decided to start taking claritin.

Well, wouldn't ya know.......within a week, my hives were gone and my face was back to normal. I have been taking one claritin a day (will cease the claritin when my cycle ends tommorrow) and I haven't seen a single bad side effect since.........

Dude,

Have you gone to a doctor? If not, I would. That is more on the serious side as far as side effects are concerned.

If you experience: Prolonged, possibly painful erection (which may cause permanent damage to the tissues of the penis and result in the inability to achieve further erections), frequent headache, increased thirst, increased urination, nausea or vomiting, swollen feet or legs, unusual bleeding, unusual fatigue, or hives. Then maybe you should see a doctor.

Cheers!

Brovel Test im sure....My forehead turned red on that shit....Im serious.

can just be vasodilation...some argue that this is part of the androgenic effects of aas- open the blood vessel, more blood ---> hypertrichosis

could be something else in the mix though

[superleg74]

Other than the red skin I feel great - no other problems at all.

[GoldenDelicious]

check your blood pressure, since if its high, you wouldnt feel it anyway

Same thing is happening to me this cycle. I have had several people ask if I was tanning.


Pretty sure that GoldenD is right on this one.

check your BP. It takes a few minutes and is worth it. At least you can rule that out then. . .

[Nekrawulf]

The red face is sometimes a side effect, but the hives is something i would have checked out

[audiowaves252]

is it red all day long? or does it go away and come back

[GoldenDelicious]

the hives and the red face are not neccessarily due to the same thing

hives implies an allergic response. you shouldnt get that from the aas itself, but may from something else in the mix, or maybe from something totally unrelated (or some new metabolite produced in your liver secondarily to aas...but im not in the mood for armchair theory just now) check bp, report here :)

cheers

It is red all day.
