Day 4 of PCT and ACNE is out of control, Help!

[ThrottleThumb Member Find all posts View Profile Close ThrottleThumb]

PCT looks like this:

clomid 100/50/50/25
nolva 40/20/20/10

I am on day 4 of pct and I have the worst case of acne I have seen on an adult. My neck is covered on both sides. I have been using Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash with salicylic acid. Doesn't seem to help at all. Can anyone recommend anything? How long is this going to last? Help!

Did you take any anti-aromatase while on cycle? Also clomid causes acne in some people, it did for me!

Was taking 1/2 a Arimidex EOD while on cycle. Stopped taking a few days before I started Clomid/Nolva.

I dont reccomend it but if your acne is really that bad there is always accutane once again dont reccomend its real bad for you but I get horrible acne myself and have had to use it twice I reccomend if you do use it get it from the doc so he can do the right blood work and make sure you take it the healthiest way possible and I will say it helped me alot even now 6 yrs later when I run a cycle of course I still breakout but not nearly as bad as before.

You can continue to try to fight your acne problem, but its most likely going to diminish on its own. Everyone reacts different to Serms and anti aromatases, and of coarse an imbalance of hormones which is caused by cycling off. If you cant tolerate the acne problem anymore, which i understand.... you should definitely see your Doc bro. Good luck!

You dont need that much Clomid! People keep dosing Clomid like this and I know alot of people do it and suggest it. Take like 25mg Clomid the whole time out and maybe add 20mg Nolva. Get u some Pan Oxyl soap to clear it up

so your saying you think 25mgs of clomid is enough I dont know really, I have always taken 150 wk1
100wk2 and 50 wk 3and4 but if im taking to much someone let me know it will save me some money.
Im not in expert but that just sounds real low.

Get you a month at the tanning bed. That will help a lot.

I don't get it as bad as you are saying, but I get it on back, face and arms. Right now. I am clear as can be, going on second month of tanning. I go as soon as I leave the gym.

Make sure you DO NOT TURN ON the fans in the tanning bed. You want to sweat, you want to cook all of that crap out of your pores. Then go home, wash and relax.

For me, this is all I need. Plus I mix baking soda with baby shampoo as face wash.


But for you. This might just be an aid to a prescription. You might be surprised at how good it works. As soon as I stop going. They start popping back up again. So I am stuck being a gay tanning boy! haha, its OK. Good back therapy too!

just make sure you go before you hang it up for the day. You want that to be the last thing you do. So you don't sweat anymore after that.

It seems to be getting a little better with each day now. No new outbreaks, starting to dry up. Last day of 100/40.

Starting week 3 of pct still at 50/20. Acne is crazy, one day it looks better next day it looks worse. People are starting to ask me if I am a cycle.

I've found that a sea salt scrub works good at drying it out. When the bumps start showing up I'll apply it to my body and let it sit for awhile and then wash normal. You can also run a tub bath with Epson salt and dry it out. I was at the beach the last time I was starting to bump up and the salt water dried it out. I've also read where others like the salt bath for this too. Good luck I know it sucks to go through this.

Panoxyl works well. Otc with 10% Benzol peroxide
