basically my entire friend group has adult acne

[mogs_me]

we are all men in mid 20s
none of us have severe acne or anything cystic at this point
but we all still get a pimple from time to time
are we all subhuman or is this normal?
i feel like when i was younger it was rare to see people this age with any blemishes on their skin whatsoever
are we just high t beasts?

i get a couple of forehead pimples but i take fin so thats why

[Bojack]

everyone gets acne brah, you're supposed to nuke it with accutane neeguh

[mogs_me]

i get a couple of forehead pimples but i take fin so thats why

mechanistically fin should have little effect on acne
i think DHT is only slightly correlated to acne
T is more strongly correlated to acne
fin should reduce DHT levels and not change T levels much
there may be a slight increase in T levels when starting fin (most doctors argue that the lack of conversion from T->DHT shouldn't increase T levels by any significant amount, as only a relatively small amount of T is used to convert to DHT, but anecdotally I noticed a perceived increase to T for one month after starting), but again this shouldn't be much to do anything and T should return to baseline pretty quickly
