What kind of T do you inject and what about acne? I wonder which type causes more, mine won't seem to stop. I inject testosteron enantat and I'm thinkin to switch to cypionat if it makes a difference. I asked my endo about it but he doesn't know if it well be better or no change in acne. So please tell me your experience, which is "better" according to acne?

Cypionate. My acne is bad.

I use Cypionate in cottonseed oil. I get the occasional spot on my face but my shoulders and back are covered in acne.

I don't use either. I use Reandron and I have no acne.
Before that I used Primoteston and I had no acne then either.

That stuff is undecanoate right? I forgot about that, by us it's Nebido, so it is an option too. Good to hear that can be acne free.
And yeah my back and shoulders are full of acne too -.-" I never thaught I will stand in front of a mirror at least 10 minutes to make acne disappear every day after my first puberty  :-X

cyprionate, no acne.

I heard that the ethanate is better somewhere.


(Forgive my spelling, I have keyboard issues atm)

Most of you use cypionate with different results as I see. I still have T for almost 3 months, after that I'm thinking of switching to Nebido. I could get it free after a legal name change and I have to inject in every 3 months. Sounds good.

I am not on T yet... and I ALREADY have acne! :s
I'm really not looking forward to that side effect. I don't mean to hijack the topic (sorryyy!), but does anyone know whether already existing acne will get worse (like MUCH worse) on T?
I have it from my 13th year now, and even if it would go away completely... my face is forever scarred with holes and ditches. I hate it!

Yeah Erik I feel you on this. I always had acne, it calmed down a bit for maybe 2 years. But starting T made it worse than it was ever. Sorry I can't say anything comforting about that.

It's the best. Cheap and you don't have to worry about remembering to get shots done. I have also experienced more changes since switching. Only downer is the easist way is to get two shots one in each cheek, but meh. I don't care about needles.

I use Depo wich I believe is cyprionate. I got acne in the beginning, but not so much now.

I don't really care much about needles as long as someone do it for me  ::) It's interesting that you noticed more changes by switching, cause in the last few weeks I thaught my changes stopped somehow.

You mean Testosteron Depo? I'm pretty sure it's enantat, I use that too.

Jared, I was afraid of that answer, yeah. Well... I'll cope. Not having periods anymore, and finally looking and sounding like a REAL man must be worth something, right, lol :P

I was like that too. I expected that acne will be worse but if it's the price for all the good things than ok. I hope switching will help a bit.
