search feature everyone singing the same song..need something natural that works...or has worked for most that are on trt and not just dong a mega dose cycle
Have you had recent blood work? If so did you have your DHEA levels checked? When my DHEA levels get high, I break out. Start there. Then check your diet and drink plenty of water.

Nothing natural worked for me for hormonal acne issues. Going to hear that a lot from people. Only thing that worked was a low dose of accutane for a while (20mg daily), and keeping hormone levels as balanced as possible. Take shots on a schedule, etc.

I mistakenly injected 1000mg/week of test enanthate for 6 weeks, didn't have any acne whatsoever. Dermacrine makes me break out like CRAZY

DHEA made me breakout as well, but after running a course of accutane at a low dose for a while, it isn't really a problem anymore. I only use Dermacrine at an HRT dose now though, 1 or 2 pumps.

HCG while on TRT made me breakout constantly, cystic back acne, so I dropped that ages and ages ago. Test also doesn't make me breakout whatsoever.

Excess DHEA can convert to estrogen and it is common to breakout and see oily skin when taking too much.

That's what happens to me when using just a dime size amount of dermacrine, skin gets so oily I can wipe it off my face, disgusting. And it makes me very irritable/angry at little things

Oh wow, even that small of an amount? What are your normal DHEA levels at without supplementation?

My DHEA levels are tanked out, below range when I'm not supplementing.

Usual low normal range, not sure what in Dermacrine does this to me, maybe the preg?

I'm wondering if it's spiking your E2 somehow. But a dime size amount, geez, not sure how that could be possible.

I haven't heard of preg doing that before so I'm not sure if that's it. I do know that preg can convert easily into progesterone. I remember ages ago getting bloodwork on my PREG and PROG levels. PREG was super low, PROG above range. I never did get to the bottom of why that was happening.
