Proscar/Propecia

[jpbutler]

Does anyone know if proscar and/or propecia help with acne problems?
I know they are used to combat the hair loss problems, but I also know hair loss and acne are both side-effects of the conversion of testosterone into DHT.

I will tell you that it definitely helps me. Since I started taking finasteride my skin has never looked better. Even the pores on my face seem to have gotten smaller. Excess DHT must really put my oil glands into over drive. I don't think everyone is the same though. Most people will tell you that it does not help, but I say it doesn't hurt to try. Just beware that it can have negative side effects in some people.

Have had bad bacne on propecia. On or off cycle. There is a study I will try to dig up on it regarding acne and propecia
