Does testosterone thicken the skin?

“The cause of PCOS acne is elevated levels of testosterone. This masculinizing hormone is produced in the bodies of both males and females, especially during the teenage years. In addition to causing hair growth, muscle growth, and aggressive mood, it also thickens and toughens the skin. Testosterone makes the skin grow over pores, trapping oil and bacteria inside.”

that’s my experience too. High e2 and my chest breaks out like crazy. I just came across that when further researching metformin the last few days.
