I am extremely worried as I was put on TRT now that I am 30.. my doctor and I tried EVERYTHING possible to bring natural levels up first and nothing worked.. I am now on TRT and i'm 1 week in... 150mg/week and I've been reading it causes acne in people that didn't even really have acne as a teen..
MY ACNE WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING! I used to f**king BREAK DOWN in highschool and was to the point of being suicidal over it . I could not run a needle nosed object more than maybe a few millimeters without hitting another pimple. ALL OVER my face neck chest shoulders and back.. Senior year in high school everything cleared up except my back and I came out of puberty as a decently attractive guy. I have had mildish back acne ever since.. and a clear face other than the occasional pimple. I have had no severe acne break outs since high school.. Occasional pimple on face and legs.. mild on back..
I am absolutely TERRIFIED that TRT is going to bring my acne back. I can't live with the side effects of low T but I also can't live with the acne I had as a teenager.
Do you guys think because I had EXTREME acne during teenage years that I will also be prone to EXTREME acne during TRT? I don't know what else to do if my TRT brings back that acne.. I will go into depression regardless of low T/high T... I don't know how to win this one..
What has your experience been like with acne and testosterone? For you guys on TRT or cycles either one!
Is acne caused more by the fluctuation in hormones or just having higher progesterone in general?
I'm so damn scared.
