I wonder about food allergies and acne. Figure a strong antihistamine would mask those issues.. Lots of good suggestions here, will try the green tea for shits & giggles.
Have noticed a connection with sexual activity (male). Perhaps due to prolactin increase? Tried AI's around the same time and didn't notice a significant difference while suppressing estrogen. Maybe just a drop in test production.
Test cycles seem to clear things up for the most part, all while increasing oil production (?); Went to an endocrinologist while normalized and nothing was found. PCT spells breakouts and orgasms do the same here (except maybe while on cycle). Lately, this almost guarantees scarring, so I avoid both. And cordyceps mushrooms too fwiw. :/
A few things are used for skin maintenance, the usual salicylic acid pads (beta hydroxy), glycolic acid (alpha hydroxy) spot treatment for scars, dermarolling, retinol creme.
As some background, I had cystic acne as a teen and took accutane when it first came out. The dosage was on the top end for single pills, must have been 40mg/d. Cleared things up, but the side effects sucked. High dose B5 seems like the better bet.
About ready to get my own lab work and go the dermatologist route again. I wouldn't say these issues are related to AAS experimentation, as the other aspects have been consistent. Hard to say without a closer look at specific lab results, which I don't have available. I hate dealing with doctors, tbh.
