I actually did have allergy testing done, and cottonseed came up negative. I also started itching before I injected (was on a Clomid and Anastrozole and DIM coumponded pill before starting TRT). After about a month and a half on that ****tail I started itching. After starting injections my skin erupted into full blown eczema, rash/red/irritated/dry flaky skin. I want to get off everything and see if my body heals, but im pretty sure tossing my hormones around has affected my skin
Again if i just had oily skin/bloat/sensitive nips i would know my E2 is high, but I have low E2 symptoms with high E2 bloods, makes getting dialed in impossible
A very late reply but I have ran to an situation like yours. The guy had both same time, high e2 anf low e2 symptoms at once. Turned out (eventually) that a long term overdoing with anastrozole had f**ked up the total estrogen metabolism.. he had stopped the AI to solve the problem and naturally e2 (estradiol) rebounded and made symptoms, but mean while hid e1 (estrone) wich is the estrogen responsible for fluided joints and skin, remained low. And it also seemed that taking AI will more strongly tank the e1 than it does to e2.
So he ran more labs comparinf differend estrogens. Tried DIM to rebalance them etc..
But the solution after all was to take low-dose HCG with T and stay the hell out of AI eaven dispite of clear e2 symptoms.. its horrible at some point, deffinetly. But in the end things looked good again.
