About 9 weeks into my Tren E 450 / Test Cyp 700 cycle. Lots of acne on my neck and jawline. Is this from the tren? Or maybe estrogen sides from the test?
Tren or Test: which one is giving me acne?

Honestly this is not what you want to hear but probably a combination of both. I mean estrogenic side effects of testosterone can cause acne. I hear even arimadex can cause acne. And I know DHT steroids cause acne. Testosterone is a strong DHT and Tren is the strongest DHT. I recommend you start using face wash, mask, and taking hot showers. And don't pick at the zits.
Also if it gets out of control and you are not going to stop the cycle go see doctor and get some sort of treatment you don't want scars or craters in your face and back from acne. Lol I thought I could control my acne and I am starting to realize I can not. And I think my last resort to stop it will be a tanning bed before I go to the doctors. The fucked up thing is all of this shit to stop the side effects of steroids has side effects of its own. I would stay away from Accutane personally unless your acne gets horrible. And if you end up taking Accutane take it with a doctors supervision and get blood tests. I would recommend to stay away from it though.

Hard to say. For me if my estrogen is high it causes my skin to break out.

Well, that's kind of what I thought. I'll start with some more expensive over the counter stuff, because I don't want to use Accutane. The thing is, when you're 45 years old, and obviously work out, it is not good to walk around with zits like a teenager. People can put two and two together and figure out what's going on.
Yup. I think we are more obvious than we really think we are. I've often thought the same thing when I start breaking out. Comes with the territory I guess.

It totally depends on the person whats going to cause them acne, if it even causes them any, I have pretty well tried every steroid, aside from tren, and nothing gives me acne, no matter the dose. I have a friend however who gets acne just looking at a vial. It really depends on your genes and if your are prone to ance in the first place. My belief is that steroids don't just start a dirty side effect like acne or MPB if it weren't already something that was happening or had happened in the past. I would venture to say though you have a much better change that the Tren is causing it over the Test.
And 10 4 to the words regarding Accutane, this stuff is murder on the liver, a raises liver counts to unthinkable levels, it works, but its really hard on you.

I have heard and read people developing acne from using Tren E, not sure with Test though. Have you tried exfoliating? I have to agree, Accutane is an option I would never take if I were you, it's really scary to know that it has been linked to Crohn's disease and other harsh side effects so it would help to try everything else first.

I have been reading more about Accutane lately and it sounds like a gamble. Some people it is a miracle drug for and others it causes lasting depression, Joint problems, Erectile dysfunction, High liver enzymes. And a lot of other random stuff. Honestly I think if some one is prone to acne and can't get it under control with "lighter" acne medications. It might be better to just lower the dosage of steroids and stay away from acne causing steroids. A low dosage of steroids and a great diet and work out routine can accomplish more than a high dosage of steroids can with a regular work out routine and a regular diet.

20mg accutane for a year kept me clear. I was a mess even before I started cycling. Accutane is amazing. My liver is fucked but it was worth it.
Tren gave me ZERO acne. Even at 700mg per week. But when on my hight test cycle I definitely noticed more acne. Pretty sure it was because of estrogen!

A few tricks that haven't been mentioned yet. Switch to a non hypoallergenic laundry soap, change bedding often, and regular swims or soaks in a chlorinated swimming pool or hot tub. Worth a shot before you hit the accutane.

I usually get a bit of acne on my shoulders when I switch compounds, but it goes away nearly as quick as it comes on
I'd recommend staying away from accutane unless it's a chronic acne problem... if just from gear don't take the risk causing permanent harm to libido, joints etc

I used to take accurate, with a doctors supervision, becausey acne was completely out of control. For me, it was truly a miracle drug, literally Zero sides and now my skin is next to flawless, maybe get one small pimple once a month. I went up to 100mg a day and my liver enzymes came back only slightly above normal every time, still very much within am acceptable range. Choice is yours, only thing it would advise is DO NOT drink alcohol or run orals with your cycle while on accutane.
Good luck!

Good suggestion, Krazydiamond. I have read these tricks from different websites and health blogs. I think this is worth to try, than hitting accutane. ClearUpAcne dot org is also a good source of information.
