Common Questions and Answers about Testosterone acne

Since acne can be caused by an excess of free testosterone, this may be why inositol was prescribed -- to reduce the free testosterone. I'm not sure if your free testosterone has ever been tested but I don't think it usually is part of any routine labs.
I can tell you that during the first couple months of going low-carb, I noticed that my scalp acne and oiliness vanished.
I am female, finished puberty about 5 years ago and have not had any acne for 2.5 years. I have a total T3 in the upper end/top of the reference range due to using T4 and T3 for hypothyroidism. However, recently I developed moderate acne and noticed new hair growth at the corners of my mouth and in between my eyebrows. It turns out that i have a mildly elevated total testosterone level but normal SHBG.
however, I do know that even a slight increase in testosterone levels in men will cause increased acne, oily skin, rapid hair and facial hair growth, anxiety, irritability, etc... This will also cause muscle twitching. Just a guess, but maybe the unrest you are feeling in your hands and legs/feet are caused by the testosterone increase; thus, creating more irritability.
As far as the grey hair...I turned completely grey when I was 17. Sometimes that is a genetic thing.
My daughter never really had acne in her life and recently tested with higher then normal testosterone which the doctor has attributed to this severe acne condition. We purchased proactive but she has a reaction to that. I just purchased Mario something or other and it doesn't seem to be working.
any ideas?
ve only read that acne can be caused by hypothyroidism and that thyroid replacement will help acne. My problem is that my acne started AFTER starting thyroid. The acne is definitely cyclical...I am a 36 year old female still menstruating. The acne is most noticeable right after my period and goes away almost completely for the two weeks after ovulation. This pattern doesn't seem to fit premenstrual acne.
What I know is that taking Testosterone causes acne, and that is why so many pubescent boys have acne.
From your post I am pretty sure that the Testosterone and the nipple infection are related.
The symptoms you mention do not sound like cancer at all but your husband may need an antibiotic so I would see the doctor if it doesn't get better.
It may also help a lot for him to soak in a tub of hor water and about one half cup of Epson salts added.
More often than not you are producing too much testosterone from a spill off of the high progesterone turning into testosterone too.
Relation when this is fact is the adrenals have overproduced and cortisol issues are present also - but rarely considered at a doctors office who only goes by reference blood labs and not saliva to pin point the fatigue.
I had high free testosterone that appears to have resolved itself over time and it gave me acne, thinning hair, some unwanted, unusual hair and a deeper voice than most women. The acne and the unusual hair resolved but the voice and thin head hair never came back.
think this one is a boy too!! Acne again, 11w3d. It has a lot to do with more estrogen or testosterone in your body. Are they pimples that you can pop, it hard zit type??
On 8/13/08 I had to get my Testosterone levels checked to start an acne medication and my Free Testosterone was elevated at 2.13 (normal range 0.10-1.50), but my Testosterone was fine at 54 (normal range 14-76). Due to some concern over these results my physician decided to recheck them on 9/25/08 and again my Free Testosterone was high at 3.14 and my Testosterone was also elevated at 79.
m having a boy and my doctor said that the testosterone you produce can cause a lot of acne. I had really bad acne in between week 30 and 34. My cousin went through the same thing with her boy.

Hi mommies anyone here having problem with acne during pregnancy? Any medication to use to get rid of them...
As I understand it, when one injects testosterone (lets say Testosterone Enanthate) the body converts (with an enzyme) the excess testosterone into estrogen. The pituitary gland also senses this huge influx of testosterone and sends a message to the testes in the form of Oestrogen to shut down the bodies natural production of testosterone.
You should get it checked out. Dosent seem normal in my opinion.
I was dx just over a year ago and have had really bad acne for about 10 months now. I thought it may have been from the prednisone, but I have been off of that for 5 months now and it is not getting any better! Any idea what it is from? Is it from being hyper, tapazole or still from the steroids?
Thanks for any help!
I'm 31 weeks pregnant tomorrow and I've had bad acne all the way through my pregnancy, I've never had acne bad in my life is get the odd one on my period ! WHY am I getting acne when they go away more just appear ... What can I do ?
I had a total thyroidectomy in April 2008 and iodine radiation treatment in May, then started on 175mcg's of Synthroid. In August I started experiencing severe cystic acne. A dermatologist put me on an antibiotic and a topical cream. The cysts on my face are gone which left bad scars but now I have severe bumps, like a red rash all over my face. I have never had acne and I know this must be hormonal.
Im currently 20 years old and still experiencing severe boil/acne problems. Ive tried most popular products out there such as proactiv, clean and clear, skin id, nanocleanse ect... Also been experiencing low sex drive, sexual life not same, alot of stress, some random changes in mood stuff like that. Ive been doing some research to find out that most likely the cause to my concerns are low testosterone/inbalanced hormones.
