Acne: There are many treatments for acne . I also wonder if your testosterone treatment is perhaps on the high side. Please make an appointment to be seen and discuss this with your physician.

Testosterone/Acne: Male testosterone replacement therapy may cause new or worsening acne. Testosterone stimulates the production of oil, or sebum, from the sebaceous glands of the skin which causes acne production. Treatment includes oral antibiotics like solodyn (minocycline) or Doryx and topicals such as epiduo and benzefoam. For severe cases there is accutane. See your dermatologist for therapy.
