TRT Effects on Skin

Has anyone tried tanning or blue light treatment for acne? I was pimple free this year from my test being bottomed out. Started TRT again a month ago and already started getting painful, deep zits on my face, massive oil production too.

Tanning helps with an acne as it is somewhat antibacterial. However, I believe it may make your skin even more oily.

Think I’ll try the tanning thing and see if it works out, I know sunlight in summer usually helps.

Salicylic acid.

Thought about it, never did much for me in high school. Maybe it would be different now, this is my second puberty after all.

works extremely well for me.

Any particular percentage?

Just use the acne wipes. Oxy or whatever.

Will do, thanks.

This is good to requires prescribed

That will do absolutely nothing for nodules/cysts.

Nothing topical will help cysts/nodules.

My son had a huge cyst in the outer ear practically closing the hole. 2 or 3 together. I put that on and alternated with prescription tretinoin cream and it did the trick. Took 1-2 weeks.

If I notice a pimp coming out I put the clindamycin cream on which contains benzoyl that dries it

Cysts can go away in 1-2 weeks without intervention. Topical cream may help with redness, inflammation, pain but, does not treat the root of the problem.

It is not like benzoyl peroxide on a white head. That will dry it out in a day or two.

If cysts/nodules are a real issue a low dose of accutane may be needed.

My son’s acne cysts took several weeks to get big. And just kept getting bigger.

Dr prescribed in addition to the 2 creams above 30 days of antibiotics called doxycycline.
I read a study that doxycycline can delay teeth growth in children. So I decided not to give to him. He’s in the middle of puberty.

The 2 creams definitely took care of those cysts.
In hind sight Dr offered to inject what I remember being cortisone in the cyst. That would have been easier. Maybe.

Just an update for guys suffering acne on Test. I started taking 10mg of Accutane at night I bought online (I won’t say anymore because of the rules). I weigh 195 so that’s about a 1/8 dose for my weight. Within 10 days it’s already working wonders. I only plan to take it for 30 days and then off of it. I have no side effects other than my lips are a bit dry. Anyway, wanted to throw that out there for those of you wanting to get rid of your acne.

I’ve read that T does inhibit collagen production to some degree - I used a product called Biosil and it helped a lot to clear up skin issues even joints and hair. Not sure about extreme cases mine was relatively mild.

I was wondering if anyone could help me brain storm my situation. At nite I am sweating not a lot but just a Little and when I do sweat it has a very strong smell like vinegar. This does not happen on clomid it only happens when I’m on injections. Would anyone might know the reason why???

Are you on Tren?

No the only things I am on is test cyp 20mg ED, .1mg AI ED, 50mg DHEA ED. Have you ever heard of a symptom like this.
