Back, Shoulder and Arm Acne After 8 Months on Testosterone – Looking for Advice
Hi everyone, I am looking for some advice from people who have experienced something similar, especially those who have dealt with severe acne while on testosterone. I have been on testosterone for around 10 months, and the past ten months have honestly been some of the best of my life in terms of my health, fitness, and body transformation. I have lost 53 kg, I am in the best shape of my life, and I am still pushing myself to improve every day. I try to do everything by the book. I prioritise hydration and take a comprehensive supplement stack, including TUDCA, NAC, nattokinase, vitamin D3, K2, omega-3s (2,500–3,000 mg daily), CoQ10, BPC-157 tabs with oral KPV for gut health, and a multivitamin. I eat very clean. I am adding in DIM, B5, and saw palmetto with pumpkin seed oil as well. However, I have developed a severe skin problem that is really affecting my confidence and quality of life. It started on my back and spread to my shoulders and upper arms. I scratched the affected area, which may have contributed to the spread. I am now dealing with inflamed spots, cysts, and scarring. It has reached the point where I feel ashamed of my body and have to wear oversized shirts just to cover everything up. My doctor believes it is bacterial folliculitis caused by bacteria from my nose and has ruled out androgens as the suspect. I have been prescribed a five-day course of antibiotics, and I am also taking low-dose Accutane (isotretinoin) at 10 mg daily. The skin looks and feels a little better, but it is nowhere near clear. I cannot help wondering whether testosterone is contributing to the problem, whether this is purely bacterial folliculitis, or whether there could be more than one thing going on. I really do not want to give up testosterone because of how much I have improved physically and how good I have felt over these past months. I have changed my life and habits to be as healthy as possible (bloodwork is on point) to be able to use these substances to help with my journey.

Like Tony said this usually DHT’s work I reccomend washing your bedsheets more frequent One thing to consider is your bodyweight is significantly lower than when you started. The same dose of test may not be required. Lowering it may be worth considering especially if you’re focused on general health not so much “build 5 pounds of muscle every month” Usually (simplified) how test works is it goes into your system and does its thing. You use up to say 200 for example before the body is like “okay we have extra” That extra and what it does or converts to isn’t always controlled. And in your case it sounds like a bit of that is converting to DHT and expressing on your back. I’ve seen guys just neglect their hygiene and it happens. Get a natural soap that doesn’t irritate your skin and has minimal chemicals and stuff you can’t pronounce Also seed oils can mess up your skin quality too, especially if you’re in the sun though the day

Low estrogen and high hematocrit
Any ideas on how to manage this. I take daily injections of testosterone and I didn’t realize that jardiance increases hematocrit.

dbol’s great for temporarily bumping your estrogen if you have it available but not a permanent solution
Thoughts on FLGR-242 for muscle building?
I’m hearing a lot of positive results on the follistatin inhibitor FLGR-242 for muscle building. Anyone heard of it or used it?

it works but you’re not at a stage to worry about myostatin being the limiting factor
Enclomephene
1 week on 12.5mg eod enclomephene and mk677 11mg before sleep. I did mk677 many cycles before and always felt good on it but now I feel terrible with the encl. feel tired all the time, bad mood, ... I added the enclomephene as my test level was only 350 but its just not what I expected this first week. Is this normal and get it better next weeks or should I just quit it?

enclo increases shbg so 90% of the hormones you get are locked up an unusable enclo is artificially raising test not like trt where the body has the hormones available and ready to use brain fog and uncontrolled libido are potential sides I used 3mg every 3 days and that was enough enclo to raise my test from 750 natural to an artificial 1000 on paper but i never felt any difference tbh i would lower enclo to 3-6mg 2x a week or drop it entirely mk on its own ive seen raise dudes test simply from better sleep and recovery make sure training, nutri, and sleep are locked and throw in more cholesterol in your diet to make sure you have building blocks available for your body to make test a test booster, mk and eating 4-6 more eggs a day will serve you better than enclo would enclo is for running sarms to prevent your hormones from turning off (even then waste of time compared to test base) or after running hormones like test and using it to kickstart your hormones again from scratch. the general “take enclo and raise test” is a popular marketing thing now because it can raise you to 1000 on bloodwork but its not a true functional 1000

@Greg Arnie Arnsberger for you id recommend trt and hcg so you have natural production function as well hormonal support i'm also a fan of the small dose deca for joint comfort (50-100 weekly) then MK677 and 2.5 daily is what I have a 68 year old client running and he is getting insane pumps and sleeping like a baby. 2 mg increases rem by 50% If pinning is an issue i think switching to a smaller gauge and subQ would make it more pleasant Its not impossible to do powerlifting in your position but its definitely not optimal to do it without the advantages of these compounds
Blood Pressure
This is to anyone. Is there a peptide that helps with High Blood Pressure? It runs in my family and I want to get a hold of it before I have a problem with it.
