A member asked:
I am taking dhea - my skin recently has begun to emit a faint urine-like odor. should i be concerned or is this one of the expected side-effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stop it: Since dhea is a hormone precursor , it can have all sorts of effects, including oily skin; so stop it and see if the odor improves.
