[crossconnect]

whats up guys and gals-i have made very few posts here but enjoy the site and find it very helpful.i am 35 and have been lifting for 21 years roughly.i was a skinny teen and always wanted that muscular look to impress the women and to get respect from my peers.i waited til i was 23 to do my 1st cycle(mainly because of availability here in th midwest but it was for the best).i have always researched cycles because it was scary with all the horror stories you here on tv.my first cycle was sust250 preloads from mexico.i ran 250mg's every 5 days for 12 weeks and trained and ate like a champ(gained 15-20lbs).i went from 160lbs to [email protected] next cycles were few and far between because of availability and low in mg's also.then i discovered homebrew on another site a few years ago. i then tried some higher doses(500mg test enth,400mg deca a week and oral winny40mg a day).i started to get acne during my cycles(cycles lasted for 7-8months during the warm month and i would pct in the fall).when i would start pct(nolva 25mg aday and clomid 40mg a day)my acne would go crazy.i would get it all over my shoulders,chest,back and a little on my face.i pct'd for a month last year and the acne never really went away even though i was off everything during the winter months.this year i did the same regimen eccept for dropping deca and adding bold undecylenate at 500mg/week the last 6 weeks.the gains were very good but the acne got to were i didnt want to take my shirt off any more.i have been on the same pct regimen for a week now and the acne is geeting worse.i had a boil(infected sebacious cyst)on my forhead the size of a qaurter that had to be drained and now i am on antibiotics.it seems like the pct(also home brew)is making it worse and permanent.has anyone had these problems?what am i doing wrong?how do these pros get so huge but still have perfect looking skin?sorry about the long drawn out post but i am stressed about this and any help is greatly appriciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!! p.s. is the homebrew a cheaper grade of hormone possibly,i use safflower seed oil,.22 wattman for everything,2%ba and 5%bb has always held eveything.

Try taking vitamin B5 at megadoses, such as 10 grams daily for a week or two, then going down and running it at 5 grams daily thereafter. If you are a white guy, tanning also goes a long way, not only does it kill the bacteria, it will darken your skin and make it less noticeable. Also try to find a soap that has about 5% sulphur in it, this is real effective for the body acne.

Hey bro I have the same deal, I come off and I get acne however not nearly as bad as you describe. I started to use proactive and tan this has help dramaticly. This has kept it under control for the most part. Hope this helps.... ECTO

clomid seems to give me a lil acne. on that note i think you PCT is wrong after 6-7month s on and your only takin 25mgs nolva and 40 mgs clomid. you should use HCG during cycle and double the nolva clomid.
nolva/clomid
50/100 2 weeks
25/50 2 weeks
25 1 week
JMO. good luck.

see a dermatologist.

also,,,try some tanning to help dry up the skin

[crossconnect]

thanks for the help guys!tanning alone helps a little and a clorinated swimming pool helps quite a bit also(no help in the winter though).i think i will train natural for a while and go see a dermatologist if it doesnt get better.i will try the b5 thing also.

[Shibby]

I don't know the amount for safety or how smart it is, but I knew of a guy who would put a tiny bit of chlorine in a bath every few days.

[crossconnect]

i might try that if i can figure out how much to put in.it wouldnt take much.thanks

I have the same problem with acne, I have been off for over 2 months and still have some on my shoulders. I am going to speak to a doctor about it, but I have heard that taking Zinc really helps, it's worth a shot in my mind. Also tanning helps tons, again, if you are white.

mynicycline and b5 in large dosages has always helped me shortterm.

I've used liquid dish soap to dry up my skin, it's healthier than tanning my skin.
