I talked to her about my only other negative side of HRT which is a little hair thinning. She told me that the shampoos are not very effective at blocking DHT and she wrote me a script for Propecia. She said it should not only protect the scalp from DHT but also the prostate.
I didnt think to ask but isn't DHT sometimes responsible for body acne as well? I know Propecia can raise estrogen levels a bit so I think it is a good idea to stick with my .5 mg of arimidex every 3 days.
It also says it can cause some sexual problems in a small % of men. If this happens I am going off. Since starting HRT I am banging like a porn star, I would rather be bald then stop that!
What do you guys think? What have you heard about DHT and acne?
