Acne on low dose test

Pharma / TRT
1

Currently on 50mg E3D so around 125 -150mg a week. When I switched to E3D and to 150mg a week my acne shot up bad but now after 3-4 months it’s starting to be a little more tolerable and seems to be getting better.

My question is should I wait longer to see if it goes away / levels stabilize? or should I lower my dose a little more and see if that helps? It’s seems as the months have went on I have felt better and better with my dose just the acne is annoying and a clear sign that I’m using gear.

I’m been on for a while and made dumb choices of upping and lowering my dose so I know that hasn’t helped. Even after being on for 6-7 months it seems just now that it’s really starting hit me.

Overall I feel amazing, high libido, killer workouts, high energy. I’m getting blood work done in about a week.

My acne gets better when my estrogen is under control.

Most of my bad acne was actually ingrown hairs, which were much worse in my early days of TRT.

A tip i got from others was to use a little dawn dish soap alongside your regular bodywash for oily areas. For me, this is my shoulders and back only. Regular soap wouldn’t cut through the oil.

Keeping test low and using non-aromatizing compounds to backfill has helped, but i will still need to go on accutane to actually stop this from being a problem.
