FTM Acne & Post-Op Life

[MichaelAdventure6]

When did your acne start coming?

After how Long on testosterone? And on what dosage?

[elvernene02]

I conpletely undertand what you said.

[strimpify]

Beta-Carotene (a form of Vit. A which is also found in many vegetables, ie; carrots). Available at your local health food shop. 10,000 i.u.'s (usually one gel pill) or up. It's natural and also has other benefits. Easier than eating ten carrots a day. Try it!

[shaunaxmcgov]

minocycline is awesommmme

[chinofiend]

i loved acc its great just stick to it... ive had those others and their ok. my acne wasnt bad at all but the 12 bumps i did have didnt respond to anything else youll love it just buy a shit load of water and chap stik lol good luck

[PALSTCB]

I'm curious, did you have bad acne when you were a teenager? (I don't have any at all, except for the occasional pimple, and I want to take T...I was wondering if that effects it or not.)

[l35i5m0r3]

Accutane rocks! Worked for me... that stronger antibiotic you mentioned (minocy... sp?) caused me some nice brain swelling and had me running off to the hospital. My back was worse than my face, which was bad too (I didn't make videos during that time).

[Englishrose270]

Holy shit your voice is awesome :)

[saywhatcuteface18]

Try witch hazel. It's super cheap and has cleared up my face. Use it as a toner twice a day.

[fish094]

DUDE! prednisone... haha.. I had to take it because my tonsils were swollen. It was the worst thing ever. It made me feel like I didn't know where I was haha.

[iiBiteHard]

I'd never get rid of my boobs.

:] Looks like everything's coming out good for you?

[mywhataniftysweater]

Try Retin A Micro first! It's the best.

Also....wow, what a transformation from your earlier videos to now. Good shit.

[AstralAbraxas]

I used acutane or w/e it was called, worked wonders. I had mood swings, but that was about it. It did sound a bit controversial at first but i'm off it now and acne free.

[xlilbutchboix]

Try Tanning.. I know its weird, but its the only thing that will help my friend's acne.. She goes 3 times a week. Her skin cleared up for the most part. BTW.. I know I'm going to be a lil more on the homo side when I start T.. I can feel it already.. Makes me happy.. I don't want to just fall into the male spectrum and get lost.. Sounds so boring.. Plus, I think I'm just too queer.. :-p and thats okay with me.. :-) Have a good one cutie..

[Slackjawedmama]

Hello Kaleb...I hope you will forgive my extreme ignorance, and I in NO way mean for this to be offensive ( and if it is, please forgive me...) However, I am quite curious...It seems you have intimated that your acne is as a result of your use of Testosterone. Without doing any research on my own, I'm wondering if you can comment on this. Is this a common side effect for persons using Testosterone? In any event, I wish you well in all your endeavors. Thanks!

[bleedingembryo]

Yeah, it's very common. Sometimes it's mild and sometimes it's far more severe than mine.

[gloomer]

My birthday is "on the cusp"... I like that phrase, too.

[cheechcaballero]

Well, I hope we can all try to be gay and say loud gay stuff in public SOMEtimes, ya know, even if it's a little scary. It's fun.

[SELKILKT]

hehe u are so cute

[tunesluvr]

hey dude. i might just be making this up, but did you mention before that you attend western carolina? if so, i saw on Katastrophe's page that he's gonna be there this week! it'd be sweet to check it out!

[bleedingembryo]

Yeah, the group I'm apart of is helping bring him here again.

[tunesluvr]

awesome! i saw him at SOCO and it'd be great to see the show again! i hope i can make it out there

[bleedingembryo]

Well if you do come out, let me know so we can meet up!!

[roseblossoms00]

i'm so sorry you going thew that. i'm sending you a bazillion good vibes to your face lol

[theforbiddenpoet]

hey you goin' to unity again this year? hope to see you there man.

[bleedingembryo]

Hey there :) Yep, sure am - Elliott's going to be leading a transgender surgery show-and-tell and I'm going to be helping him. See ya soon :D

[boredgurl24]

gosh you're lookin cute!

[lisankass]

U always make me laugh lollll.. u have a great sense of humour!!! LUV U!

[flyer11234]

have you tried natural remedies for your acne? try tea tree oil.....could the testosterone have caused the acne?  Just wondering....

[bleedingembryo]

Yeah that's what did it, the hair growth caused by the T. Tried tea tree oil, at first it worked then it just got out of control.

[B00mBoomboy]

I love your videos :-}

[Sl0pJaw]

do you pop your acne? if you pop it it will scar and you have really nice skin man. dont pic whatever you do.

[bleedingembryo]

Lol did you just seriously tell me I have nice skin? I USED to have nice skin, lol. I do pick it sometimes, it's very disgusting, satisfying and wrong to do. Can't help it.

[wayfarer628]

so how long do you have to be on testosterone? forever?

[bleedingembryo]

Yep.

[pennylela]

My best friend is on his THIRD cycle of accutane.

i wouldn't worry about it, honestly. it's pretty intense, but i'd feel safe taking it.

[bleedingembryo]

I think that if the current meds I'mt aking keep working like they are, I shouldn't have to take it. I would certainly hope one cycle of it would nip mine in the bud, but I am not really looking forward to its intensity if I do indeed have to take it.

[witchbaby72]

i am glad to hear your not in as much pain from all the spots. just wanted to say becareful with the predinosone. i took it like 3 weeks ago for something else and it made me all puffy. like edema puffy. bleack.

your chest is looking really good! eh aren't you just a regular dude???

[bleedingembryo]

Yeah, I usually take it when my asthma gets very bad and sometimes it causes me to bloat a little, but nothing too extreme. I'm just glad it's not hurting. I am just a regular old dude hahahah :)

[LostInTranslation02]

wow it looks a lot better kaleb!!!!!! im so happy for you =)

[LuvDownOnBway]

Hey Kaleb, first of all, love your videos. Had a question. You made it sound like jogging while binding was...uncomfortable or akward or something? I was wondering, can you bind and still excercise? I'm waiting on my binder to be delivered, and take dance classes, and I was really hoping that my binder would help that awful bouncy-ness that I have to endure.

[bleedingembryo]

Yes, exercising sucked and I refused to do it because I had a very very very large chest. It was uncomfortable and still bouncy and I'm just glad it's over, lol.

[mrsethcorbin]

Hey Kaleb,

Your skin's looking way better dude, good to see you so positive,

Take care

[rriffraff]

Er, I wouldn't suggest takin acutain.

I took it when I was younger (during my first puberty). first of all it didn't work (only works for 75% of people) and it made me suicidal.

So, use this as a last resort.

Chest is looking good!

[huh98]

I've gotta say you seem alot happier than you were six months ago and it make me so happy to see this. You totally rock Kaleb.

[bleedingembryo]

I very much am, thanks for your sweet comment!

[Tro23y]

hey bud

your face is looking a lot better with the new meds. I could sympathize with you before and I know how much pain that shit can cause. Honestly the prior videos made me flinch not because of how it looked but remembering my days (before rocket fuel) and how painful it is.

Hope it continues to work but honestly there is a huge noticeable difference already

[bleedingembryo]

Hahahha thanks buddy - I know it's some kind of awful!!!!

[alonnakyle]

what made the bumps come? is it the meds you take?

[bleedingembryo]

Yes, testosterone.

[alonnakyle]

wow, you really look like a boy now. Well good luck with your transformation.
