Would you say your skin changed much on T?
Texture, thickness, easier or harder to bruise, etc.? If you did notice something different, how long did that take to happen?
I was talking to an MTF friend recently who said after a few years on E they bruise super easily now, I was surprised to hear that. I wonder if it means skin gets noticeably tougher on T.
I think my skin now feels more rough/course and less soft. Maybe my hands/wrists look like they have more fat on them too. I bruised very easliy before T but I haven't really been clumsy on T so don't know if I'd bruise the same. I guess I started noticing around 6/7 months plus.
Not really. I am more oily now but that's about the only skin related change I've noticed.
I guess I'll find out, with my job I end up with lots of small cuts, stabs and burns sometimes, and the occasional joint sheath injury... we'll see if there's much difference.
It is mentioned by MTF that they experience the opposite, in quite a few places. And it seems mentioned on some pages and info sites about the action of T on FTM but it's not clear it happens to all
I used to bruise super easily and now it takes a rough hit to do any damage. It's weird because my legs used to be covered in random bruises from events I couldn't even recall; pretty sure there haven't been any on me in months.
Also, the veins are a lot more prominent in my hands and forearms and my skin in general feels thicker/rougher.
In addition to those positive things, however, I've also turned into an oily beast.
It is harder to pierce with a needle for my shot , if that makes any difference.
