Thisbmust be why the dry skin…
That was why I took Avodart, because I am on HRT and testosterone was making my skin too oily and having to control acne was a constant thing. I thought that if I could block the 5AR enzyme responsible for oily skin, I would fix it.
I believe that may be partially why I am doing better than most on here, my skin is so oily that it is a little more oily than normal, I believe that is because I produce a lot of 5AR enzymes, more than normal. I can see when my 5AR enzymes are rising just by looking at my face in the mirror, along with the oil comes improved symptoms in every way.
I always had superior muscle building genes, I mean superior, I can build muscle faster than anyone I met, little did I know that gene was tied to the oily skin. Now that the oil is more normal, the muscle building is a lot more difficult. I always took it for granted when friends said I was lucky that I could build muscle so easy. I always thought they were lucky for not having such oily skin, I had hoped that I would recover and get everything back to like 90% so that everything was perfect except my skin wasn’t as oily lol.
This experience has taught me to appreciate everything about my body when I recover, even my oily skin.
I understand, but the difference is not that the compound made them produce lesd oil because they oil glands died.
