Increasing ones T dose 24 mg/week overall is a big jump.....100mg/week (50 mg every 3.5 days)----->124 mg/week (62 mg every 3.5 days).

Your TT/FT levels will be higher now.....could definitely cause acne in the genetically prone!

Have you had new labs done yet and where do your TT/FT and E2 levels sit?

Could be spike in TT/FT/E2 from switching but even than acne takes time to show up in many cases as clogged skin follicles from increased sebum production/inflammation would not happen immediately.

Would seem more sensible from your previous increase in T seven weeks ago that acne is rearing its head now.....as you know that when one increases T.....levels will be in flux during the weeks following until blood levels stabilize at 6 weeks.
