What Causes Acne And Hair Fall After Taking Testosterone Implant?

My 40 year old daughter had a testosterone implant 2 months ago and is having terrible side effects. Her hair is coming out in large amounts and her face and back are covered with awful acne, which she has never in her life had. Her T level is 164 and her dr doesnt seem concerned. Can these pellets be removed?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

She has hair problem and acne which are common after testosterone treatment. So don't worry much about that. implant can be removed but tell me the cause for which testosterone is implanted. Because if your doctor does not seem concerned means it may be necessary to keep implant. So please proved me full detail and history so that I can help you further.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
