I was prescribed "minocycline" to clear up some body acne/ingrown hairs and my questions are:

Since I am off cycle and my body acne is almost cleared up anyway, would it be wise to save the antibiotics for when I'm on my
next test cycle in the not to far off future to be used to control test related backne?

Would there be any complication with that?
Would it help AAS related backnewhile on test?
Has anyone ever used antibiotics to control body acne while on cycle?
Is it safe if you just did it one time and not every cycle?

well first of all using antibiotics and gear at the same time generally shouldnt be a problem despite what you may hear. Make sure to do blood work though. Certain antibiotics (including the ones i take) are very hard on the liver so taking those in combination with oral or liver toxic steroids can cause liver values to rise.. but personally I take old school, heavy duty antibiotics for long periods of time with aas and watch my blood work and never any problems.

secondly, im not one to beleive antibiotics do much for controlling acne unless it is VERY mild, and if it is very mild than you may not even need to worry about it. Sounds like yours cleared up but id guess it may be cause you came off and your hormones regulated themselves???

Accutane works wonders... try taking a really low dose (like 20mg a week) and it will likely take care of everything with no noticable sides.

Hey bam ive just gotten the exact same stuff yesterday for the exact same problem im going to be running it for the last couple weeks of my current cycle and for the next 3 months or until it goes away. my doc said it shouldnt be a prob with the gear im using ( sust deca) right now he just told me to steer clear of binge drinking as it is a bit taxing on the liver

Sound like your hormones are all over th place....and with any hair especially your back...that doesn't help either. Try witch hazel/70% alcohol/and tea tree oil...mix together in small spray bottle and spray mist on your back 2 x times a day...that will ward off any possible acne.
