Anyone else getting spots? Feel like a teen again!
« on: July 17, 2022, 05:29:34 AM »

A couple of months ago I started on Everol 100 after years on gel and a few disastrous months on Lenzetto.
I feel better than I have for years. I am calmer, happier and have much more energy. I am also getting spots like a teen which I assume is due to my new happier hormone levels.
Has anyone else had this after upping their dose? I am hoping that it will settle. The spots ping up out of the blue, mostly on my chin line.
Mind you I’d rather be spotty and happy than clear faces and miserable!

No spots, but hairs on chin and dark patches on my face like hyperpigmentation  :-X

I get spots (usually in the crease where my nose meets my cheek) and have done since I was a teenager. I'm nearly 49 ffs! It's actually got marginally better since being on HRT as only get 1 or 2 every 10 days or so. Before that I would get 1 or 2 every day.

I have mostly got rid of my chin hairs using an IPL and much persistence. Hardly any grow now!

Do the spots itch B4 they erupt?  I have small white spots that usually have a grey hair inside  ::)

I do get some spots due to trapped hair. These are deffo teenage acne type spots that seem to erupt from
Nowhere!
IPL is a laser light device. It destroys the hair from the follicle. Have had great results almost immediately on my body but my hairy chin was much more stubborn. Just a tiny , very slow growing patch left now.

I had some spots when I started on HRT but they all settled. I actually thought it was due to the testosterone, which I think is more likely to cause acne. But whatever caused it, it's fine again now.
