Hi
Welcome to XXXXXXX

Acne have nothing to do with testosterone or testicles. it is a false concept. Acne is caused by a bacterial infection in the block sebaceous glands which are also called white head or black heads. they when gets infected becomes acne.

If you still have some query, feel free to ask
