I'm in almost my 4th week off and my chest and neck have broken out. I've never had a problem with acne. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Anyone have problem with acne after cycle?

I would try tanning or if it gets really bad go to the dermatologist and get some acne medication. I would personally just avoid accutane.

Funny you said that. I was tanning then I stopped for a couple weeks and that is when the acne started. I'm getting my goggles on and going tanning tomorrow.***128515;

I only get acne with higher e levels. Adex clears up the oil on my skin and acne goes away.
I would love to know what the root cause is behind acne due to hormonal changes. Obviously oil production of the sebaceous glands is whats changing but there has to be a way to moderate these changes and the resulting acne, other than accutane.
I never had a single problem with acne until I started TRT. Within the first few months my skin started to change. And eventually got to the point where I had a problem. I tried antibiotics, even though I hate taking them, topicals, and all kinds of skin clearing protocols, but nothing worked.
I finally resorted to accutane and after months I am finally cleared up, luckily got in front of it before too much scarring occurred but it was getting bad for a while. Unfortunately, theres a reason people try to steer others away from accutane. It is incredibly harsh. Some people have fewer sides than others. I am not one of the lucky ones. If you are depressive or anxious to begin with, get ready to feel even worse. If you struggle with fatigue, get ready to feel even worse. If you already don't enjoy life, get ready to hate life. I have the worst fatigue ive ever experienced, hate going to the gym, and when I get in the gym I am exhausted and pretty much incapable of doing anything close to the level to what I would consider normal. The mental sides are what really kills me. Its killing my cognitive function and has really put my mental fortitude to the test. With that said, the shit works.
Personally, id start my getting an anti bacterial soap and a scrubber and showering immediately after workouts or when you sweat. Do not go to bed without showering. Try to get some sun, my gf is a RN and she agues with me constantly that tanning is not effective method to control acne and only delays the issue by drying out the skin temporarily, but I personally think it helps quite a bit. I don't tan, but I try to get some sun when I can and just that little bit makes a difference. There is also a product called Hibicleanse which I would consider picking up. My derm recommended it to me. Haven't really put it to the test as my accutane has done the heavy lifting for me but I think it'd be a good product to try.
Also, get bloodwork done if you havent already. It sounds like you have something out of balance as you are experiencing issues post cycle only. Like GJ said above, a lot of guys experience acne sides when their e2 is too high.
Since you are open to any suggestions you could also try supplementing with is a product called AcnuTrol(Link Below). This is put out by Charles Poliquin's online shop who i personally think is an extremely smart man with a lot of experience in the fitness world. I don't think he would put out a product that didn't at least have a basis in science. However, there is generally never a magic supplement so you might try adding this in with other methods of controlling your acne. I personally have not tried it though so I cant vouch for efficacy personally.

I think there's around 20 threads around with the same general question and the answers still seems to be the same. Hope OP gets better and keeps us posted.

The thing that's the most bothersome to me about it. It's around my neck. It seems like the only thing anyone knows about people on cycles is they get acne. Now the big guy walking around has acne on his neck which really sucks. Gets old hearing people talking about guys that do steroids not having to work as hard as natural guys. Wish they would actually read some real information about the subject but I'm done complaining. Anyway I've resorted to wearing hoodies which is really making me sweat. It's been in the 90s the last week or so. I really appreciate the feedback and I'm going to pick up some of the recommended things you guys suggested. Going to the doctors on Friday to get some blood work done also.
Hi, I used to have the same problem it started after a few cycles. First I thought about making some food allergies test, but it didn't show anything. I started to use tee tree oil and D3 vitamin. Few months ago I came across some curology reviews and they looked promising so I decided to give it a shot and surprisingly it has worked. So after using it for a while I can recommend you at least checking this treatment or go to the dermatologist and find out what is going on with you.

thanks! I have honestly used aloe from my aloe plants and it always did the trick with acne in my case.

Check e2 levels pronto..l 90% sure that's your problem. You said 'after' your cycle. Test goes down usually, and estrogen goes up. We take nolva to stave off breasts, but high estro brings other issues as well...like acne
