I used to micro manage my T levels to get them as close to the high end of normal without causing the acne issue. Consequently, when my prescription was for 100 mg/week for injections, I cut back to 85 mg/week and that solved the problem. I tend to get my lab work done at the end of a 7 day cycle before my next injections so they would reflect the lowest level for the week. -- Steve - dudescholar4@...

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hey Dan, It could be your T is too high - similar to when we go through puberty and our T is sky high we got acne. Have you had your level checked? Might need to back off some. Arkansas From: preachalee <preachalee@...> Subject: acne?
