TRT Effects on Skin

I can only speak for myself, but I only ran one cycle and it changed my acne forever. Both my wife and daughter were prescribed it for cystic acne and it cured them permanently.

I honestly cant remember my dose. I do remember doing the research and based on my weight, it was about a 1/4 dose. I ordered online and it was expensive and I was nervous about the liver impacts too. Both factors

Very interesting! Thank you!

T is mission critical for libido and sexual function. You can say the same about DHT. With genetic defects that block T–>DHT or knock out DHT receptors, the penis never really develops at all. DHT is needed for many aspects of virilization.

So I am never going to promote oral/systemic 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. I have no knowledge/experience with low doses that could modulate DHT levels instead of DHT–>~zero/

TRT can cause overactive sebaceous glands. Washing that oil off asap is really important to reduce acne.
I’ve had good luck using Selsun blue 3% salicylic acid shampoo as a body wash. You need to wash after any activity that caused you to sweat.

Studhammer, bringing an old topic to the top, but you mention accutane. I have moderate acne from 200mg/wk. drives me nuts. I was on accutane in my early 20’s (45 now) and it cleared my acne completely. I want to get some to take care of what I have now on a very low dose for a short time. Can’t you tell me what does you took and how much you weigh? And any hints on what online pharmacy i could buy from? (not trying to get anyone in trouble with that question so relax…just need pointed in the right direction.).

Thanks!

It’s been a long time. At the time I remember it was about a 25% dose based on my body weight of about 175. I wanted it to be really low dose since I wasn’t under a dr’s care.

All I can tell you is that it was an overseas pharmacy. Forum rules prevent anything else

That’s what I going to go with was a 25% dose for one month. I’ve found a few places. So I’m going to place an order. Hope I have the sane effects as you.

Mine is located in Thailand

On such a low dose did you experience any side effects? Especially in regard to sun exposure? Any flushing, redness, etc?

How many mg were you on daily?

I honestly cant remember. As I mentioned previously, it was about 25% of a treatment dose based on a body weight of 175.

No but it took it in the fall/winter so that was minimized.

There is another great online pharmacy that literally has everything you can think of. I can’t tell you the website but its based in eastern Europe. They accept bitcoin and actually give discounts for bitcoin purchases.

I found a place that has gotten nothing but great reviews on steroid forum. I’m 195 pounds. And I’m going to go with 10mg once a day for 30 days and try that. That should be about 25% of the proper dosage for my weight. When I was in my late teens and early 20’s I had bad acne. I had no health insurance and accutane was fairly new and very expensive (about 5 bucks a pill then) So the Dermatologist put me on whatever half dose for my body weight at that time one pill a day to save me money. The proper dosing is twice a day. And after 4 months my skin was way better and acne completely gone…until now being on TRT at 200mg a week for 4 months!!

That’s where I go. I think I know where you are talking about. Its the one I had in mind

Just a quick reminder, let’s all keep in mind there’s no discussing sources and not to blur the line between TRT and Pharma. You guys can find your stuff? Great. Have trouble finding stuff? That sucks. But it’s not part of the discussion here.

Sorry Chris. I was trying to keep it general in nature with no websites or names.

It wont happen again.

Has anyone heard of TRT effecting the skin on the penis in anyway. Lately the skin along the corpus spongiosum (under side of peins) has been really dry and scaly. But also I can’t feel very much on the underside.

Any advice would be appreciated

When my estrogen is low I notice the head of my penis is looking wrinkly and dry. Think about it, low estrogen means you are not holding onto water, so you are dried out.

Started 10mg of Accutane and gonna go for one month. I’ll post results in a month. I’m at about 1/4 -1/8 the dose for my body weight.
