Never heard of finasteride having any thing to do with acne...just hair loss and prostate issues. Also the sides of finasteride out way the gains for myself with hairloss and would definatly outway the gains with a little acne. JMO

well i heard its the DHT that causes the acne and i figured if you can supress the DHT conversion then you can supress the acne

acne is directly related to androgen levels in men. It's also related to being dirty though.

My sister's fiance started propecia about a year ago, and since then his acne roscea (the tons of little bumps type) has completely disappeared. He doesn't take any steroids though.
