Curious if anyone here experienced could tell me why I get this rough skin under my eyes with redness and water retention between the eyebrows and in the forehead scalp? I notice if I take aromasin it goes away but if I’m not consistent with taking it comes back even worse. This weird redness goes on my shoulders upper chest and down my forearms but once I take aromasin it like flushes out. Is it that Im a heavy aromatizer? Also I’m very low body fat but I somehow still get pretty bad water retention in my hands and feet.

Weird redness in face and scalp

It’s also in the eyelids and makes me look out of it
This are definitely high estrogen side effects, high estrogen may increase tear evaporation which leads to eye redness and the other thing is just water retention, the skin around the eyes is the thinnest in the body so it becomes puffy very easy, try to add boldenone to your cycle at a 2:1 ratio with testosterone 2 test 1 boldenone and this should keep estrogen under control.
I don’t get it though I’ve been taking 6-12 mg aromasin everyday and if I don’t it gets worse I get lethargic and my face gets a scowl look. I’m already using masteron every other day 20-40 mg and my t dose is 91 mg a week everyday injections. I don’t get it am I that heavy of an aromatizer and if so it seems regardless of what dose t I take I aromatize badly should I even be on T since I constantly have to keep e2 down? I’m on 20 mg anavar a day 25 mg proviron as well but it seems nothing can keep e2 down.
I’ve been dealing with this since may 2025 it took months of constant precise aromasin use to knock down my estrogen levels but they just won’t stay down no matter what even if I lower t dose to 90 mg. I’m so tired of people looking at me weirdly because my face looks like I’m a drug addict and I get this itchy red rash everywhere on my limbs neck upper chest my face. The only time my face looks normal is if I sweat for hours and take tons of aromasin combined.

You mention Masteron - it is not an inhibitor of aromatization, it competes for some of the same receptors and therefore masks some of the side effects, but the E is still in your system.....
I suggest you go get some blood works done, without taking AI before, something is definitely wrong and the best way to know it is through bloods.
I’ve asked chat gpt and it said I could be highly sensitive to estrogen that even normal levels cause puffiness, water retention and mood effects. Also before I ever used T my e2 levels were natural low around 15 pg.
I know but I’m taking 6-12 mg aromasin daily and it definitely makes a difference combined with masteron.

I’ve gotten bloods before and my e2 was 30 pg yet I still had these side effects and felt almost like I’m not present mentally then I would take aromasin and feel like how T is supposed to actually make you feel.

Since a picture is missing, I don't know how the redness looks for you.
But if it's E2 related, it could be

This is normally seen with liver distress/damage, since the E2 metabolism is not working correctly. I guess it could also come from steroid induced high E2.

- Look exemestane up for side effects, I think there are some skin conditions....
This pic was when I used arimidex before switching to aromasin whenever I use aromasin heavily the skin thing goes away and my skin tone becomes normal color so.

Mhh not sure, this could maybe be

I personally have perioral dermatitis outbreaks on my chin when I'm stressed, having hormone fluctuations from test/hcg or using some unsuitable facial products for me.

topical fucidin and I try just to use gentle products on my face. topical fucidin resolves it normally in a couple of days, otherwise it can stay for weeks.
I see so is this perioral dermatitis flat or bumpy? Because what I have is flat no bumps just the skin has red/pinkness to it
