Does estrogen make your skin paler?

MadeleineG · February 25, 2014, 11:42:13 PM

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 · February 25, 2014, 11:45:19 PM

The latter

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

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

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

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

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.

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?

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 · February 26, 2014, 05:47:02 PM

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 · February 26, 2014, 06:55:10 PM

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 · February 26, 2014, 09:43:51 PM

It made mine paler.

MadeleineG · February 26, 2014, 10:44:35 PM
