ok, so im on wk 4 of 600mg Eq/wk and 500 cyp/wk, and i have some crazy little baby acne over the tops of my arms and my upper thighs. It's not like whiteheads, but more like little red bumps that have a tiny little hard thing in the middle and if i scratch it with my fingernail the little peice of whatever comes off.

I have read all the acne posts about, dishsoap, nizoral, benzoil peroixde, salycylic acid, anibiotics ending in ..CYCLINE, etc.

My question is this: what chemical process causes the acne? Is it increased DHT or increased estrogen? Or is it that test increases your greasy skin?

Does AI or SERM's help? I wasnt clear on that.

I read that proscar might help, but i also know that DHT is pretty anabolic so i dont want to get rid of it all... What about using anti-DHT shampoos and putting them on your skin. like rogaine or Nioxin?

I showed the little bumps to this chick i know who is an esthetition and she recommended 10%salicyclic acid lotion to leave on it after i take shower.
