Bad acne and oily skin since starting TRT—how do I fix this?
I'm a few months into TRT and my face and back are breaking out constantly. My skin is super oily—is there a way to manage this without stopping treatment?
The short answer
Increased androgen levels stimulate the sebaceous glands to overproduce sebum, which is why acne and oily skin are common side effects during the first few months of TRT. Adjusting your injection frequency to maintain more stable testosterone levels or incorporating a targeted skincare regimen usually brings these breakouts under control. At HeydayMD, our clinical team monitors your labs closely and can tailor your protocol to minimize skin flare-ups while keeping your testosterone optimized.
