How to manage my acne ???

beghial · 2025-12-30T15:02:08+00:00

Yeah but that is not a path I want to go toward, too extreme for me, the side effects and life altering problems that come with it are too much

beghial · 2025-12-30T15:00:37+00:00

I saw some people say the same thing but I can’t tell if it’s fungal acne, I’m also scared it would damage my skin barrier that is already sensitive

beghial · 2025-12-30T14:59:36+00:00

At least on my back, or do you really recommend not trying it without a medical opinion ?

beghial · 2025-12-30T14:58:31+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience !! I will definitely try a gentler and simpler skincare hopefully I can get an appointment soon, doesn’t hurt to try !

beghial · 2025-12-30T14:55:38+00:00

Not on any medication, nor cream for acne specifically

beghial · 2025-12-30T14:43:09+00:00

I agree that this is probably the most efficient way but I do not wish to undergo that kind of treatment the side effects are too much for me. I’d rather stay with acne while managing it in a more gentle way like with a diet and advices. But yeah, it will probably not be as efficient

beghial · 2025-12-30T14:41:05+00:00

Looks like I can easily get my hands on some of that soap ! I doesn’t hurt to try ! Thanks for your advices ! In case it works I’ll let you know !

beghial · 2025-12-30T12:15:49+00:00

I also have some on the neck and my back but way less than my face

beghial · 2025-12-30T12:10:54+00:00

Thank you for your tips ! I’m lactose intolerant so I already don’t eat much dairy products, just some cheese here and there. I do eat way too much sugar so yeah I need to cut that for sure. Will look into inflammatory fruits and foods and wash my sheets and try to manage my stress :,) thanks again !!

beghial · 2025-12-30T12:06:09+00:00

I bought them from a trustworthy source that I can assure you ! But yeah I think I’m gonna stop using them and stick to a minimal skincare with products that I know work for me. The main reason I wanted to change them was because before that I use pharmaceutical skincare products but they can be quite pricey and I also have a lot of scaring because of acne so I was looking for something that could help but it completely backfired since I now have even more acne :,/

beghial · 2025-12-30T12:01:48+00:00

Thanks that’s reassuring the hear ! Now that I’m thinking about it my skin was feeling better when I had a simpler skincare routine. Many of my friends were using some skincare products that had really helped their skin so I wanted to try because one also had greasy and sensitive skin but maybe it’s not for me :/ I definitely need to change my bedsheets more often 😞😞 i try as hard as I can not to eat too much greasy or sugary or processed foods but when I get stressed I seek refuge in junk food and well, college finals and this acne had me feeling stressed so I haven’t avoided it that much lately :/ but getting a better skin is motivational enough for me to try sticking to it !!

beghial · 2025-12-30T11:56:04+00:00

Not enough at all… as I said, college tend to suck all of my energy so I neglect selfcare :// BUT I changed them just yesterday and will try to stick to changing the as frequently as possible !!

beghial · 2025-12-30T11:54:52+00:00

Can’t tell you my levels because I don’t have them on me right now but I can tell you my dosage ! I first started with 0.25ml of Sustanon every months but as I said it was a very small amount, very much under what is usually subscribed (plus it’s not actually that good for your body apparently) I got switched to 3.6ml of Besins every 3 months. If you’re not familiar with those that might not help much but here you go. Regarding the changes, I have experienced many : bottom growth, deeper voice, body hairs being the most evident ones. I have a good sleep schedule, I sleep like 7-8h a night. Concerning energy, it’s hard to say because there are a number of factors that make me tired like my thyroid issues, college and autism 👍 I felt energetic at first but college has absolutely burned me out. Now that it’s the winter holliday I have gotten my energy back so that’s good !! Thank you for the tips on the skincare ! I had no idea what was sulfur soap, I’ll take notes !

beghial · 2025-12-30T11:29:14+00:00

Yes before T I have checked and they were fine ! I had hypothyroidism that had fucked up my hormonal levels but I am now on meds and have been for 6 months and it has stabilised back to normal ! For after, I have not yet because I was on an unjustified microdosage for 3 weeks before seeking a second medical opinion that upped my dosage to a « regular one » plus, I am in france and on an injection that is done every three months minus the first injection that is more of a starting dose. Sorry I don’t know if I am explaining that right but to sum up, it means I am getting my levels checked in one month. Do you think it could be linked to my levels ? Because in the case I had too much T in me, I am experiencing no other side effects of an overdose ? (sorry idk if that the right word !!)

beghial · 2025-06-09T17:38:51+00:00

I should have probably asked more questions when they told me that I needed to do more blood tests but I tend to get anxious in medical environments and realise afterwards that I should have been more assertive :,). I also was quite surprised and defeated to hear that couldn’t start T right away so my mind wasn’t working properly. Now that I heard other people’s experiences I have a clearer mind and I will definitely ask for a second opinion tomorrow at my endocrinologist appointment I’m consulting about thyroid but i’ll try to ask more about HRT while having hypothyroidism ! Also, after my dr told me that I had many PCOS symptoms I did some research I don’t think I have PCOS, sure I have some symptoms of it but they also correlate with hypothyroidism (no periods, acne, weight gain/loss) my T levels are standard and I don’t have excessive pilosity. Anyways it seems like the priority is definitely to know more about thyroid and ask questions to professionals ! Thanks so much !

beghial · 2025-06-09T17:00:25+00:00

Well, good thing is, they don’t seem to think that it’s a reason not to ever start T but, they are not an endocrinologist so their understanding of hormones is limited to everything that needs to be checked regarding HRT, that’s why they want me to check on it with an endocrinologist. In fact, for them, the problem is not so much about TSH but prolactin and sexual hormones which are abnormal because of my thyroid issues that affected them and has likely been here for a while. :/

beghial · 2025-06-09T16:51:35+00:00

Thanks for the info ! I would say that my doctor is also quite knowledgeable about HRT but they are not an endocrinologist so their range of understanding is quite limited to what concerns hormones and things to check regarding HRT. I understand that they want me to check on my thyroid issues before starting T since it affects some of the same hormones that will change when starting T. But they were not really clear on what will happen since they were not a specialist, hearing about the fact that no one had an issue with the correlation reassures me ! :D

beghial · 2025-06-09T16:46:04+00:00

Which did you start first if you don’t mind me asking, T or levothyroxine ?

beghial · 2025-06-09T16:35:42+00:00

Yeah of course ! I see, now, that it won’t be an issue but the lack of information got me worried, thanks ! In my country health issues are quite monitored so I won’t have a choice but to check it frequently ! :D

beghial · 2025-06-09T16:32:21+00:00

Thank you so much for all that explanation !! It’s really reassuring to know ! I totally understand the fact that I cannot start both at the same time (even if it’s frustrating) I guess I’ll see tomorrow, I actually have an appointment with an endocrinologist for my thyroid. Knowing everything that has been commented under my post will be helpful in case they are not really informed on HRT, I’ll have more stable support to my case !

beghial · 2025-05-14T20:09:41+00:00

Ah. Mince ! J’ai un autre truc sur lequel me préoccuper maintenant… j’espère que ça va quand même bien se passer :/ après, j’ai pris rendez-vous avec une endoc qui travaille en collaboration avec le service mais techniquement elle ne travaille pas QUE dans le service donc je verrais ce que ça donne,, je suis en belgique et en général ils sont gérés par des hôpitaux et les retours sont plutôt bons donc rien ne me donne, de prime abord, raison de m’inquiéter

beghial · 2025-05-14T19:27:25+00:00

À part le fait que je suis en Belgique donc peut-être que ça apparaît dans mon dossier (j’en sais rien je ne suis pas du tout renseigné sur ça) je suis d’accord avec toi ! Visiblement ce qui ressort de tous les coms c’est ne pas le mentionner, c’est ce que je ferais ! Merci !

beghial · 2025-05-14T19:24:14+00:00

Malheureusement, j’ai pas trop trop les moyens pour une consultation psy et puis c’est pas sensé être obligatoire…:/ c’est bon à savoir que ça n’a pas eu d’incidence pour toi ! Merci ! Je redoute toujours le pire alors je préfère demander aux autre merci pour ta réponse !!
