Question

Does anyone have any advice on how to avoid or mitigate acne while you're on T?

I'm an ftm that keeps thinking about actually properly starting T, but I hear people say that going on hormones is basically a second puberty with all the problems that come with it.
I had REALLY bad acne when I was going through puberty in middle school and while it mostly slowed down in highschool and has definitely settled as an adult, I still feel like shit when I get a zit or two.
Is the acne really as bad as I see people talk about? Is it just bad luck for those ones, or am I doomed to be a pizza face again if I go on T? Any advice for how to prevent it or at least slow the effects?

There may be some medication a dermatologist can prescribe, shit thats stronger than OTC stuff.

its the male experience. i guess you could eat less oily foods but you're gonna get pimples.

you need to get it from a doctor, but spot treating pimples with muciprocin makes them go away in a day or two

otherwise its your choice of cleansing and retinol or acid to exfoliate
and moisturizing can be helpful, even if you have oily skin sometimes your skin is overproducing oil cuz its dry, and if you use a retinol you definitely need to moisturize

acne is the male experience

Speak for yourself

Nigger if you're worried about acne enough that you're unsure about starting T, don't fucking start T.

Eating oily foods has nothing to do with acne

Going onto a keto diet is the only solution. Take it or leave it.

but I hear people say that going on hormones is basically a second puberty

This is so fucking disgusting to me. I can't imagine how your body looks like when going on second puberty. Fucking gross. That's why I'm repping.

Does keto really prevent acne? With how much fat and stuff you eat for it I feel like keto would make it worse.

It's so gradual you don't even notice until you're drastically different

sure, do you want advice on how to avoid balding too? what about avoiding facial hair? need help preventing your voice from deepening? need advice on how to not look "amab"?

Not wanting to deal with painful acne means you're not actually trans

I fucking love this board

Carbs cause insulin spikes and that causes oil production in the skin
Carbs and seed oils cause inflammation of the body and that causes increased oil production too
Animal fat is very satiating and eating it daily while fat adapted won't cause acne because you won't actually eat a lot of it

Avoid seed oils at all costs

Painful acne? bitch are you juicing or what?

Back when I had acne, it was painful, and I would constantly unconscious pick at it, which leads to more pain and bleeding, along with scarring, the build up of which on your face can be really uncomfortable.

Retard acne can be painful, especially the hormonal acne you get during puberty/taking T. I barely had any acne during female puberty but I did end up getting a decent amount earlier on T and it can really hurt, it dies down after a year or two but I still have the scars :(

I might be lucky but I've had less zits after starting T. It's impossible to predict what good and what bad effects it gives you, so just start it and deal with the issues after. Go see a doctor if ou see signs of bad acne starting up.

don't listen to these retards, diet has nothing to do with acne, acne is a bacterial infection on your skin that you need to treat like any other bacterial disease

you need retinoid cream with isotretinoin pills or antibiotics. + sunscreen because the meds will make your skin very sun sensitive, and moisturizer because they'll also make your skin dry. Go to a dermatologist for the prescription, or DIY from online pharmacies if you can't be bothered.

I had horrible acne as a teenager and these meds made my face completely and permanently smooth after a few months of treatment

Why do a simple thing like changing your diet when you can spend hundreds of dollars buying skin care products and going to Dr's for meds?

If I pay 80 dollars for this prescription cream that burns my puss filled face then I can continue eating high glycemic index foods
I am very smart

East Asians have very oily skin, they're just like that, it's nothing to do with the fact they eat rice and noodles all day
No I don't care that almost 12% of the population of Japan has some form of diabetes
Shut up!

Samefag a lot of acne is just genetic

have fun having a pizza face then, if $20 for a tube of gel is too much for you. And the keto diet will work any day now, im sure. Just two more weeks and your acne wil be gone

Injecting testosterone is genetic, now let those bodybuilders compete and hand back those medals

No stalker child, the ketogenic diet it not make your skin look healthier and stop it producing so much oil. You are going to jail stalker child

NOOOO, don't take antibiotics for your infected wound! Just eat less rice and it will disappear!

Stalker child

What the fuck are you on about?

The food I put into my body has no effect on it

Oh I didn't know Acne was an infection. I mean, I knew that pus was made of dead white blood cells and it appears in other infections, but I guess my brain just never made the connection.
Learning a lot from this thread.

Some people are genetically 400lbs and 30% of Pakistan genetically have diabetes
They just born this way
Infections just randomly happen without cause don't they?

I can continue my sugar addiction without any problems because the Dr sells me cream that burns my rotten inflamed face

Who needs personal responsibility and will power when you have a Dr

Can you stop fucking samefagging and put all your ramblings into one fucking post so the thread isn't getting bumped every ten seconds with it?

Just stop giving him attention

skin infections happen because of poor hygiene and lack of medical treatment. Idk what else you're suggesting here

French Polynesians are just prone to getting diabetes, it's nothing to do with a western high carb high seed oil diet being introduced to them. No 25% of their population just have it due to genetics.

Unironically by citing a bunch of races that live in very insulated and low immigration countries you are in fact proving its genetics.

I an telling you that you can prevent such an infection by avoiding a terrible diet that spikes your gi index which in turn causes inflammation and increased oil production which further in turn can lead to acne
Get on keto and avoid seed oils and you won't have to worry about acne

Who eats more rice on a daily basis? A native Brit or a native Jap?
How about who has access to more beef tallow and butter?

Citing the British as something to aesthetically strive for

Oh you're a psy-op against keto, I get it now

No, I don't want your face to be dripping so much oil and I want you to stop paying for hundreds of dollars worth of skincare products that don't work.

diet has no bearing on your organs, like your skin for example

You can stop the effects of insulin spiking by buying the burny face cream off the Dr

Diet has no effect on the skin just like alcohol has no effect on the liver
