Anyone who has Seborrhoic Eczema and is on Testosterone Replacement Therapy?

[sebsuxx]

Hello,
I have been having SE for 10 years now and I might need to get on TRT because my testosterone is pretty low.
However I worry that getting on TRT and raising my testosterone could affect the SE.
Testosterone affects sebum production and that is why I ask myself if raising testosterone would make the SE worse.
I asked one dermatologist and he said yes. This would really suck because having low testosterone is also not really healthy
for a male.

When was the blood drawn in the morning? Your T is really low.

I will probably have to go on TRT but I worry that it could make the SE worse.
