Title: Acne
Post by: Jared on March 19, 2014, 04:06:39 PM
Hey, I've been using Testosterone enanthat for a year maybe and after I got the shots I had terrible acne. Now I'm on undecanoate I get acne before the shots (not as bad as on enanthat) and right when I get the shot my skin clears up. Wtf? I don't complain it's much better than it used to be I just wonder if it happened to anyone else?

I've always been on the one kind of T (enanthate injections), but I never had acne ON T.  Pre-T I had it really bad - and every time I'm due for a shot, I break out horribly and my skin goes really oily.  I always guessed it was due to oestrogen.

Interesting. When going through the wrong puberty I also had bad acne then it cleared up and when I started T it came back. Maybe my body didn't react that well to the oil of enanthate injections.

A similar thing happened to me. If I break out it's usually just before a shot. But, my acne is WAY better on T than it ever was before...before T I had horrible acne all the time. Now it's the occasional breakout and it doesn't happen with every injection.
