I think it affects some more than others. I only got one or 2 zits on my face. It settled for me, let's hope it does for you x

Sounds rotten Tinkerbellj
It's early days for me too - within the first week of use I did get a big spot on my chin and I thought exactly the same as you
I guess it's a case of seeing if things settle and other benefits begin to appear - good luck!

Oh dear - how much are you using? I didn't get any side effects at all (apart from hairy thighs!) but I'm only using a pea-sized blob.

My go said to use one quarter of a 5g tube!! But from your advice hurdity I knew better so just a pea size blob. No hair growth at all just sore spots!!! Having said that I am also recovering from a severe bout of diverticulosis but even at that I thought the antibiotics woukd have sorted them but no....out with the tea tree oil it is then lol

I got some huge spots the first month using testosterone but then completely settled. Maybe try using a smaller dose to start with?
