Low Estrogen and Acne?

[MilitaryMuscle]

Does having low estrogen level influence acne? In the chest/shoulder particular? I recently started taking an anti-e and my chest and shoulders are breaking out and thats the only thing that has changed. Thanks....

Any time your hormones get outta whack like when you are coming off you can expect some acne/oily skin like when you are in your teens.
Normally you get hit the hardest when you are coming off rather than when on cycle.
So, the answer is YES.
What AI are you using and what doses?

There are personal variances but from my part I agree by 100%. Got a very serious and nasty outburst in face during the last PCT (Nolva & Clomid) and next time I will definitively try whether this could be avoided by test tapering, i.e. whether radical changes in hormonal levels could be avoided.

Never heard of acne being caused by lowering estrogen, no. There are studies stating elevated estrogen can cause acne though.

lowering E will raise T-E ratio...
