Acne on TRT & not during cycles???

[mccollumstacy]

Here's a ??? for sinner and some of you scientist and docs in training. I have been on TRT for a little over a year now, along with my cycles obviously. I have absolutely no acne to speak of while cycling - doesn't seem to be compound related with the exception of DHT compounds giving me a few lumps. So while on cycle - no acne. I drop the cycle and fall on TRT of Test Cyp 250 and given a few weeks off - I break out terribly on my back and upper arms and shoulders. I even get pimples in wierd spots like my hands ever so often. About 3 weeks after getting back on with long esters - and I dry up and clear up all over. I'm just not so chemically inclined to understand this as most break out bad while on to my knowledge. Any ideas??:confused:

Are you still running an AI while on TRT?

Not usually - but I did start some adex back last Mon to see if it would help. The catch to that is - I hardly ever run an AI during Cycles - I have it on hand if probs arise - but bloat is about all I ever have - never experienced any type of gyno even on high doses. So I don't know...

I don't get acne on cycle, but always get it about the time I start PCT...I'm sure there is a hormonal explanation, would be interested to here theories also.

Sounds like the estrogen levels are fluctuating when you drop the cycle and fall on TRT of Test Cyp 250 . It is a careful balance. When you finish the cycle the test/estrogen balance becomes the problem.
What were you taking on cycle???
What were/are your BF % ??

I was on Test Prop, EQ, and Tren Ace the last 8 weeks or so - I was on Test Prop, EQ, Deca, (TBOL for 1st 4wk) previous 10 weeks. I dropped the Tren ace and EQ and kept taking Prop for another 3 weeks while I was waiting for my TRT dose to kick in. About 2 weeks after dropping the prop - my back broke out so bad it hurts. This isn't the first time obviously - this has happened every time I went back to TRT - and its not the Cyp as I have ran it on cycle also. I cut back to around 10% bf trying to make a weight meet - but ramped back up to where I am now 262 / 13% by the end of the cycle as I didn't think I could lose enough and needed the extra weight in the high division. So I am currently what my Sig says give or take 4-5 pds.
