[QUOTE="madman, post: 107059, member: 13851"] Even if your injection was done 1.5 days before lab work instead of at trough your total t/free t levels are way too high. I could not even begin to imagine what levels they were at when you were using 200 mg/week. Your shbg is on the lower end and seeing as your free t is almost double I would say your e2 is elevated. Was the estradiol (sensitive assay) used? Regarding the folliculitis.............testosterones metabolite dht (dihydrotestosterone) is responsible for increasing the size of the sebaceous glands which result in overproduction of sebum (oil/waxy substance) secreted by the oil glands which can cause oily skin/acne in genetically prone individuals. Ones genetics is the biggest factor as some even with mid-normal physiological testosterone levels can experience excess oily skin/acne due to the sensitivity of ones AR (androgen receptor). Although running higher testosterone levels whether high-normal physiological levels or supra-physiological levels can increase ones chance of acne among other side effects. Post full labs when you get them and I would say lowering your dose and bringing down your free t levels will give you a better chance of improving the folliculitis and of course lowering your e2!
