Does estrogen make your skin paler?

[MadeleineG]

I'm as white as a sheet right now and have been getting progressively whiter all winter. Is this an HRT effect or evidence that I'm becoming a morlock? 

[Sarah leah]

The latter














Heh no clue, I would love to know as well before I start HRT.

[Jamie D]

I wouldn't mind looking like this morlock ...

Jeebus, I hope not.  If I were any paler I would be translucent.

Hope that happens
I do have really white skin
but Id love it to get even more white

[Jenna Marie]

It makes your skin thinner, which can make it look paler, depending on your complexion to start with.

made mine softer, and im still the same colour

[Violet Bloom]

Jeebus, I hope not.  If I were any paler I would be translucent.   

  I thought it generally did make the skin more translucent although that would be the result from it becoming thinner.  This seems to be happening to me - not whiter exactly, but certainly different.

[jebee]

it gave me some really cool stretch marks, much more female,

Depends. Before I can tell you, I must first ask a question.

Have you been bitten by any vampire bats recently?

No, just some creepy pale guy in the alley out back.  Why?

[Tori]

Certainly becoming more translucent. More sensitive to sun exposure so I stay away from it. I am getting pale... I do not think the E has caused it too much.

Males in general tend to be more colorful, so there may be a slight paleness that comes from E. 

All I know is I am getting all kinds of freckles.

[Natalia]

I am much paler than before...probably because my skin is thinner... but what really matter is: I am loving it this way! All my family have really white skin and before HRT I was the point out of the curve.

Thanks.

I needed that. My skin had gone from pale to bright red.

[Rachel]

My skin is softer, thinner and more translucent. I wear long sleeve shirts to work because scars are more pronounce. I have a lot of scars on my arms and legs. When I tan the scars are very pronounce. I think the scars are much whiter.

[Terrafirma]

It made mine paler.

[MadeleineG]

Translucent, eh? How many months til I look like this?
