so what i do? still growing my face or use some estrogenic cream to clear out my skin
tone down the steroid use which i know u wont do or hop on accutane which u probably should do if it gets worse. for now its pretty minimal so u could probably use some acnee creams(dont ask cause idk any) and maybe fix ur gut health. might help a bit as well

Higher testosterone just means more material for 5-alpha-reductase to convert into DHT. Typically, as testosterone levels increase, so do DHT levels. That's an issue because DHT notoriously up regulates sebum production, and sebum is almost always the primary cause for acne.

Finasteride, dutasteride, topical DHT blockers or natural 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, that or just a retinoid.

I was testing u, yea i used igf-1 fragment which isnt a steroid itself but it simulates anabolic roids reaction it even comes with an extra pack of fucking rage

Both of these are correct.

Fin will do fuck all for your skin however. You need to be inhibiting the type 1 isoenzyme for the benefits of no upreg of sebaceous glands and elastin not getting eviscerated. So get on Dut.

2.5mg Dut ED and you are good bud.

but if the testo keeps going up wont it still try to produce dht

5ARi blocks the 5AR enzyme that converts test to DHT. On 2.5mg Dut your DHT will be nuked and since Test can’t convert to DHT you will have higher Test and also E levels

all of these benefits from retinoid?
 
He's alerting you of his presence. He's a scary bastard. The NW Reaper reminds me of Vecna from Stranger Things, son. Torments you before he gets ya. @chadisbeingmade

No, I can just see where the Reaper has visited.
but at least at the end of the day even if i will get bald ill have a big ass face which seems like a good trade to me

Accutane is a type of retinoid, an oral one. And yeah, it will probably solve your issue and resolve sebum production, but that's more like treating the symptom and not the underlying condition, regardless, DHT has other issues when it comes to the skin and your longevity. As far I'm aware these are the issues and benefits of DHT:

Benefits:
- Dick size (up to the age of 16-18)
- Libido
- Increased muscle mass

Issues:
- Sebum up regulation
- Enlarged prostate
- Prostate cancer
- Reduced collagen in the skin (can be reverted)
- Reduced elastin in the skin (permanent)
- Body hair (it depends on what you think of it)

DHT does have other tissue-specific functions, but they're largely irrelevant and testosterone does the job just fine.
 
as mentioned by others on here, acne is usually the result of excessive sebum production which is stimulated by your hormones activity. i deal with this shit at ~1,250 ng/dL and honestly the way that I counter the acne as best as I can is by showering minimum twice a day (morning and night [or after gym]), cleaning up my diet seriously (little to no dairy) and drinking a shit ton of water. this will not only make you look like a beast but also make you FEEL like a beast.

Also this might have just been me, but I also limit myself to 250mg of caffeine a day too and that has also bettered my skin
 
idk why but im wondering have u been balding?a lot of ppl say high test=balding so im courios
 
keep testmaxxing, and just do skincare, youre also a teen so acne problem will fade overtime as you get older (hormones)
