[QUOTE="Esq, post: 107889, member: 15250"] I hope this isn't too odd of a question, but curious if anothers have experienced the same and might have a solution. I've always had a bit of hair growth on my shoulders and back, and for years have gotten those areas waxed every 6-8 weeks. Over probably 10+ years of relatively regular waxing, I never had a single breakout or skin issue of any kind post-waxing. . Since starting TRT about 7 months ago, my back has broken out terribly each time I've gotten waxed. All is good for 2 or 3 days after the wax, and then extremely painful, cystic-like acne pops up on my back, mostly across my upper back and some mid-back (shoulders and lower back stay clear) and sticks around for weeks and weeks. TRT in and of itself hasn't really caused acne issues, other than a few short flareups when dosage adjustments have been made, but the post-waxing breakouts are horrible and seem to get worse with each waxing. I still have some lingering spots after my last wax, which was over 6 weeks ago. . Obviously, if there's no perfect solution, I'll just give up on waxing. I'm not insanely hairy, but I (and my wife) do prefer smooth shoulders and back if possible. It's also possible this isn't TRT-related, but I never had a single breakout in over 10 years of waxing until starting TRT. . My hormone levels are in good ranges and pretty stable now, so I don't think out-of-whack e2 or anything like that is causing this. [/QUOTE]
