Can lifting weights heighten androgens or testosterone levels and cause/worse acne or oily skin? ive been told weight lifting worsens acne.

Acne: Acne is important but not closely related to weight lifting. No, lifting weights dose not heighten androgens or testosterone. Do you really think that professional athletes don't get into strife because they take androgens? Yes they win events but also ultimately get barred from future events. Don't do the same. See your doctor about your acne.

Acne: Acne can not be affected by lifting weights. See a healthcare worker if over the counter medications are not helping your acne.
