Acne and high BP with high estrogen?

Acne is a not uncommon side-effect of TRT. It presents in men without regard to estradiol levels. One does not manage acne with an AI. Nizoral shampoo, used as a bodywash, has helped me a great deal.
 
How to control it man. I know I have high estrogen but I ger acne on face and itching and high BP. Counting on AI?
 
If an AI has been prescribed by your doctor for elevated estradiol, you should take it to control your E2 levels. To manage acne issues, many members here rely on Nizoral shampoo and use it as a full body/face wash. Benzoyl peroxide is also a common tool to use against it.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
