Acne is another issue that we frequently encounter with testosterone replacement in both males and females. And one of the reasons for that is that androgens, which testosterone is the main one, they can activate your oil glands in your skin. They can cause your skin to produce more oil, which to a certain point is actually beneficial, and the oil keeps moisture in your skin and helps prevent wrinkles, keep your skin more youthful. At a certain point, too much oil can cause acne. Very common side effect. Often we see that in patients who are prone to that and in other words, patients who struggled with that in the past, let's say when they were in their teens or early twenties when their testosterone levels were high. We see that often with them. Another time is we see that with patients who sometimes their testosterone levels get a little bit higher than where we want them to be. And that goes back to the monitoring and the followup and the lab work that we follow up with — finding that perfect range for each patient. It's not a one size fits all approach. The ideal range for a patient is different than the ideal range for patient B within certain limits. Ideally what we want to do is we want to maximize the benefits from the testosterone and minimize the side effects. So find a certain range where you get all the benefits, you get the benefits from the therapy without any of those side effects kicking in. Finding that range as part of the process, and that's what we do with followup labs. #penis enlargement pills to buy #proven penis enlargment
