[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 279084, member: 3"] Based on the search results, the common causes of testosterone-induced folliculitis are: 1. Increased sebum production: The search results indicate that testosterone can stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum, which can then clog hair follicles and lead to folliculitis[4]. 2. Altered immune response: Testosterone may also play a role in modulating the immune response, potentially contributing to the inflammatory component of folliculitis[3]. 3. Adrenal insufficiency: In one case report, low cortisol levels due to adrenal insufficiency were found to be a contributing factor to therapy-resistant folliculitis, which resolved after cortisol replacement[3]. 4. Use of anabolic steroids: The search results mention that the patient in the case report had previously used anabolic steroids, which can also lead to testosterone-induced folliculitis[3]. 5. Occlusion and friction: Other factors like occlusive clothing, hot tubs, and shaving can also contribute to the development of folliculitis, including that induced by high testosterone levels[1][2]. In summary, the main causes of testosterone-induced folliculitis appear to be the stimulation of sebum production, altered immune response, adrenal insufficiency, and the use of anabolic steroids, along with physical factors like occlusion and friction[1][2][3][4].
