Should I plan to for acne on first cycle of test c 400/500mg?

[riggspersonal]

Hate to create a thread for such a simple question, but it's hard to search for "acne" in this context as there are so many different mentions of it everywhere.

I'll be jumping from TRT dosage <200mg/week of test C to 400/500mg per week of test c sometime in the next few weeks. Is it likely that I'll get noticeable acne? Want to be prepared if so. Thanks.

well, you can have 0 issues or can break out. i made a mistake that i dodnt have/took accutane sooner. it was bad, then it improved and then i was fcked up and rn im takin full accutane course, 150mg/kg of bw...

if you dont mind spending money on it, it wont hurt to have it ready. hormonal acne is naasty. i never had single pimple on chest/back/shoulder, 0. from that to painfull nodular acne ..

I keep some benzoil peroxide on hand for problematic acne. I never get the full pizza face breakout.

I wouldn't frontline accutane prophylactically, but I would have it on hand or be able to get it.

Took about a year on TRT before I could no longer control acne with good hygiene and topicals. Low dose accutane DOES work well. Two months at 20mg a day cleared me in two months. Going to run it another 2 months just to keep it away.

What side effects have you guys personally experienced from accutane?

I never had really bad acne as a teenager and basically went away in adult life.

500 test wasn't too bad for me acne wise, but was the first time I experienced chest acne.

Currently 250 test/100 primo, adding the primo has given me acne.

And whenever I pop anavars I get nasty painful boils.

So dhts definitely give me bad acne, I would assume masteron will rape my skin.

So gonna be getting a full course eventually to eliminate future issues.

Also I might add, during my 500 test blast, Enanthate gave me bad acne, halfway through I switched to cypionate and the acne mostly went away.

Inj frequency was 250 every 84 hours

There's a whole thread here (it's only a handful of threads down from this one currently) that you should review to get those answers from a variety of folks.

I was getting pretty bad acne from 150mg of TRT. Took 20mg a day until I hit my cumulative dosage and acne has been COMPLETELY clear in all areas. You can "micro dose" if you don't want to experience as many sides. I did have some joint pain and dry edges of my lips but everything else was fine. It is worth it in the long run.

I tried EVERYTHING else such as tret, keto shampoo, AHA/BHA, washing pillows, etc. Accutane was the only thing that worked.
