Cystic Acne from HCG- how to mitigate

gadgetfreaky · Feb 19, 2023

Hey there. So I'm older- 40+ and on HCG. I've noticed I'm getting some rather unpleasant cystic acne when dosing HCG. I've been reading the other threads- is this becuase it's converting to estrogen? Or is it just boosting testestorone really high.

I get really good results from HCG- specifically - I seem to lean up quite a bit more than just test alone.

Any advice on something that would mitigate the sides? or do I just need to lower the dosage.

Accutane

FYI. Arimidex seems to be mitigating acne quite a bit from HCG. I suspect less conversion to estrogen which may be the cause of the acne.

When I was on HCG I had a big issue with conversion to estrogen. What is your current dosage? I was talking 500 3X a week but that was before the Dr put me on Test. I do remember getting nipple sensitivity and acne. Once I was put on Test I lowered the dosage to 200 2x a week it helped me. I decided to drop it completely when I decided that I would not be having children.
