Anyone sensitive to DHT had success curbing the acne etc?

[HangingOn]

I'm trying to avoid Dutasteride or finasteride but I'm pretty sure at this point that I am very sensitive to even slightly elevated DHT levels. Has anyone curbed it SUCCESSFULLY another way?

It will respond to aldactone but be very careful about dehydration.

Use salicylic wash,glycolic lotion,only use benzoyl peroxide if you have a good exfoliating agent like the two mentioned on board.

I used to break out while my body gets used to the hormonal change. I've used a glycolic face wash to keep my skin clear, and a long handle brush to wash my back. I also had my SO apply RX strength retin-a/retinol to spot treat areas on my shoulders/back as needed when. Hope this helps.

use a ketaconazole shampoo like nizoral. Works wonders at helping with the breakouts i get on my forearms and shoulders from it

As body wash with a loofa? Or spot-applied?

Ya applied like body wash. Leave it on for 5 minutes or so. Ketoconazole is a topical dht blocker

Acne

Exfoliate with the facial scrub every evening. Followed by 20% glycol acid pad and .05% Retin-A. You'll have your skin in a month. Be sure to use sunscreen and moisturizer

topicals never did shit for me. oil rich food worsened it. I have perfect skin with dutasteride or saw palmetto or accutane or trenbolone (deca/nandrolone gives me acne)

Dutasteride AND saw palmetto? Duta doesn't effect anabolism negatively or have sun sensitive issues does it? Hmmm

10-20mg of Accutane doesn't help?

dutasteride or saw palmetto. both very effective the latter a bit less

I dislike duta/saw palmetto made my face hold water and made the muscles look soft even with letrozole or aromasin and a spot on diet. worst drug, hated it while i was on it. accutane is way better and low doses 5mg ed can still give you 100% clear skin. need to find your sweet spot

sun sensitivity? not from dht blockers but accutane yes. you might get a sunburn faster but you can easily enjoy the sun all day with a sunblocker. might differ from person to person

It does but not interested running it alongside an oral like superdrol or tbol or var and not suited for summer sun exposure or a tan.

I found controlling estrogen was more important than controlling DHT in terms of acne occurrence.

Using an AI and limiting DHT derived steroids would help.
