Hello, my name is John and I am 25 years old. About a month ago I started taking propecia for my early hairloss, and within 3-4 weeks taking it a started getting increased acne. Mind you I have been suffering with acne for the past 10 years, but I felt propecia was making it worse so I stopped. When I went to my derm to tell him he brushed it of and said propecia is suppose to make acne better, so I ignored his advice and decided not to take it. Thats my story

anyways I have a question:

On this site there is a mention on how propecia increases testosterone, but then on the video of on this site regarding the doctor speaking he mention propecia decreased testosterone. Something doesnt make sense here.

I will give you the answer to this question but you must pay $25 into my paypal account first. :slight_smile:

You should thank God that you got the achne and decided to stop. If you haven’t done so aready, go to the members area and read a few of the stories. Flush the rest of your pills down the toilet.

Regarding the testosterone increase, Propecia casues the body to lower DHT and the body’s own natural mechanisms Increase testosterone to offset the loss of DHT. However, it can get much uglier as time progresses Estradiol levels can rise and Testosterone levels decrease.

ohh I see. So then no matter what a person does the hairloss will continue LOL. Yes DHT goes now, but if testosterone increases then a person will still keep losing hair and using a uselss medication and wasting money becuase testosterone causes hairloss as well. Its not only DHT. Talk about a hypocrit medication, out to get your money. The people who claim it works sare all on mercks payroll.

Since you just quit Fin you want to look out for your body. Dont drink, use drugs, masturbate too much and keep a healthy lifestyle. Your acne or any other symptoms should resolves since you’ve quit Fin. Never touch it again of course even if you don’t “crash”. Some have taken it for years then one day woke up seroiusly screwed up.

ps- No one here is interested in hairloss discussions. There are guys here with serious health issues.

good thing I was only on the the pill for a short time. I don’t drink, smoke or do any bad stuff, but what is wrong with masturbating/being sexual active? I would guess the hormonal aspect of it.

Your body is in a fragile state Post Fin. Masturbation is very taxing. It releases an electrical charge in your brain and various chemicals. Over indulgence isn’t good and could cause you to “crash”.
