    Was at my GP this evening and got bloods done for acne , noted that it's mainly focusing on testostorone , LH, and FSH levels


    What exactly is he looking for ? I know what testostorne is as I take DAA to boost it . But the other 2 I have no idea

    Luteinizing hormone, which controls test production. And Follicle stimulating hormone, basically a development and puberty hormone.

    Why would the doc just look for them 3 specifically though :)? He asked what supplements I take for gym work etc . What happens if them hormones come back as lower than normal ? I feel they will (loss of energy, Libido,concentration)

    Those 3 would be closely related to acne. Which is why is normally associated with puberty.
    If they are the cause of it (the acne), I’d expect them to come back higher, not lower.
