Testim acne
« on: April 03, 2018, 12:39:25 PM »
Hi ladies
I have developed acne for the last 6 months. I've never had it before. I expect its from taking testosterone (testim gel). Did anybody have this problem? I'm going to stop taking it as I haven't experienced any benefit of taking it and the acne is really damaging my self esteem. How long until it goes away?

Testosterone can cause acne. Have you been taking it for 6 months?

It didn't have that effect on me but I never had acne in my youth either. What dose are you taking?

Yes on/off for 6 months. I was told to make a tube last 4 days but I use less than that. I've never had spots before. The more I take this the worse my spots are.
