Hey all,
Back at the beginning of summer i started my first cycle and i noticed some bumps on the side of my arms develop. I figured it was acne related or something and brushed it off as a side effect. Now more than a month after stopping my cycle i still have these bumps. What does this mean?

It means that you have acne........... it is a common side effect and all people are different but it sounds like a little thing and I don't think I would spend much time worrying about it. Try taking more frequent showers to help with the oily skin and maybe try something like a soap designed for acne.

The weird thing is i took accutane for the acne on my face and back before and i never had another one there. So i thought it was something else. It showed with the cycle so i thought it might leave with the cycle. Are my test levels still up you think?

Yeah, I have the same bumps on my arms... but nothing on my face or back. Acne can happen from a fluctuation in hormones, not just high test levels. My first cycle I had NO ACNE until PCT.

I never get acne on cycle. Always during PCT and sometimes afterwards.

Acne is a tricky little booger.

Anything you think is acne and doesn't act like it should be checked for a staph infection. Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus is becoming common place in gyms and especially on gym mats if you're into MMA.

Good point haz, but they are acne bumps for me.

And thanx guys for the info. I guess i was worried they wouldnt go away, but im sure another month or so will be fine.

Thanks!
