A member asked:

Which testosterone replacement therapy is least likely to cause acne? currently using injections and have horrible acne.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Treat the acne: Testosterone replacement is your own choice; manipulating the dose to please you and the kind of man you want to be is key. And acne's treatable -- think about going straight to antibiotics (plus benzoyl peroxide or a retinoic acid derivative) if it's horrible.
