Dealing with acne and oily skin after starting TRT—what helps?
Ever since starting testosterone replacement therapy, my skin has turned into an oil slick with occasional breakouts. How do guys usually manage this side effect?
Elevated testosterone levels can stimulate sebaceous glands, leading to increased sebum production, oily skin, and acne breakouts during TRT. Establishing a consistent gentle cleansing routine and incorporating targeted topical ingredients can often help manage mild skin changes. Because hormone levels and skin responses vary significantly from person to person, it is best to discuss persistent dermatological concerns with your prescribing clinician. Your licensed medical provider, whether an MD, NP, or PA depending on your state, can evaluate your overall protocol and help determine appropriate next steps.
