Asking for advice for severe acne, accutane protocol, and 3rd cycle advice

[purry]

I was totally fine during my first cycle (Susta + Stano), no acne, everything was smooth. Between cycle 1 and 2, I tried cruising with Test C at 250mg each week (using Arimidex as prevention).

On my second cycle, I tried Dbol 30mg for 4 weeks with Test 500mg (also with Arimidex every week), but I got really bad acne (shoulders, back, chest), it was super severe—like, really, really bad. I didn't even have the confidence to wear tanks to the gym.

Now I'm back to cruising on 250mg Test C + 40mg Accutane (self-medicated, daily) + Arimidex (when needed).
My current situation:
1. Before the second cycle, my weight was 69kg, lean, 10-12% body fat.
2. During the second cycle, I gained 79kg, but the acne on my chest, back, and shoulders was seriously terrible.

My questions:
1. Is my protocol correct so far?
2. Should I keep cruising on 250mg Test C until the acne clears up with the 40mg Accutane for at least 6 months?
3. How long should I wait before starting my third cycle (planning to try Deca + Test E)? Will it interact with the Accutane, or should I just go for it?
4. I’m completely new to Deca. For my third cycle, what should I prepare, and what’s the correct protocol to follow?

Feel free to roast me, I’m honestly desperate. Thanks!

I found over the years that usually guys and gals will outgrow acne as they get older
I don't believe you mentioned your age

 

[ReturnOfTheMeathead]

showering twice a day will go a long way to getting rid of acne. be aggressive about it. don't try to pop cystic acne. that only makes it worse. accutane is a last resort. low e2 can definitely cause acne. you can try salicylic acid or topical isotretinoin.

thank you for feed back mate !.. unfortunately I already take accutane for 2 month in now.. beforehand I already use salicylic acid sulfur soap bar.... and fortunately it seems not quite helping, but I will try again then... may be low e2 also the culprit should I avoiding taking arimidexic frequently.. I think 2 weeks from now I will check my blood as suggest from the other thread

as you can see it's like a dalmatian tattoo haha.. I hope I can heal it to normal tho

Bloodwork ASAP especially if you have been running orals, and accutane.
Start TUDCA/NAC and higher doses of Zinc now.

Find optimal test/e2 levels with Armidex with further bloods tests.

Work on lowering accutane dosage down to 10mg EOD before you stop.

A good moisturiser goes a long way as well.

No reason you can’t be spot free in the next 6-8 weeks

meant topical tretinoin not topical isotretinoin
