Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Cystic Acne, Hair Loss And Low Testosterone?
My son is 21 and suffers from severe cystic acne, hair loss, muscle wasting, and low testosterone. He has high DHT which our family doctor says is why he is losing his hair. Low T is causing the muscle wasting. He is always very fatigued. What can I do to raise his testosterone levels and keep the testosterone from converting into DHT? Also, if I try and raise his levels, will his acne get worse? Why are his levels so low? We have had a liver and kidney function test which were both normal. Do you think he has a pituitary problem?
Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum There are many causes for low testosterone. Acne can be treated by medication and local antibiotic creams. Please send details of investigations like levels of FSH, testosterone and other reports for further suggestion. Yes it can be due to pituitary also.
