Acne as a result of weight lifting?

Asked by mirifique (1540points) February 11th, 2009

I’ve read that increased testosterone levels can cause acne. I started weight training 2 weeks ago and literally the day after I started getting breakouts, which rarely happens to me. There seem to be various theories: nutrition, increased stress, etc, but really nothing else has changed. So I’m pretty confident about the causation, but don’t want to give up weight lifting. Has anyone else had this problem and found a remedy that enabled them to continue lifting?
