Just wanted to share for anyone else who has or may have this issue:
I had a major issue with back acne that started on my last week of my 1st cycle of Test400. I dealt with it for quite a while hoping it would go away by doubling up on showers, dry shirts, artificial tanning, and exfoliating with a brush and over the counter salicylic acid body wash in the shower. If anything, it was only getting worse. I went to my doc and explained the issue to him (obviously left out the cycle portion). He said it was a bacterial infection caused by a spike in hormones (obviously) and prescribed me with Doxycycline. Two per day for two weeks then one per day after that until the problem was gone. After about a week I called him and asked him to call in a benzoil peroxide topical cream to speed up the process as I was at my whit's end with it being summer and all. He prescribed an erythromycin/Benzoil Peroxide topical gel (must be refrigerated). After about 2 weeks I noticed a slight improvement, at 4 weeks I noticed massive improvement, and at 6 weeks was able to stop using both altogether and have basically been totally clear skinned for about 3 weeks of using nothing. My doc may be smarter than the average bear and did the math since I have known him 20 years and I was all of a sudden 25 lbs bigger, as he wrote the Doxy script with three refills, which is great because that will basically cover me for at least two more cycles should the problem arise again.
Issues
Doxycycline: You have to take on an empty stomach and is prone to make you feel nauseated. It is not too bad and only lasts maybe 10 minutes. I equate it to that feeling you get when you are extremely hungry.
Erythromycin/Benzoil Peroxide gel: It can bleach your clothes, so be careful with collared shirts, towels, tshirts with no undershirt, pillow cases etc.
Hope this issue helps someone!
