I’m almost positive I have a lack of testosterone. I was born 2-3 weeks premature which I heard that people who were born premature commonly have a lack of testosterone. I hit puberty at around age 12 with all typical signs but then dropped off at around age 15. I’m 18 now, weigh about 150 and am around 5′ 11". Since I dropped off at 15 I’ve had the following problems:

No self confidence
Severe depression (anti-depressants haven’t helped)
Lack of sex drive
Almost no facial hair
Smaller than average testicles
Lack of motivation (probably as a result of depression but has resulted in me losing three jobs in the last two years)
Extreme fatigue
Avoid/afraid to have social contact
I have a round boyish face that people often tell me I look like I’m 14

I’ve been on a fairly decent diet and get average exercise. I’m going to get a blood test done as soon as I have the time and money to go to a doctor but I’m just wondering what everyone else here thinks.
A friend of mine recommended taking some illegal steroids to increase testosterone levels which I was going to do until I heard you can get similar treatments from a doctor.
I have severe acne and have been on prescription medications for a while with little effect. My doctor said I probably have higher than normal testosterone levels but I have never had any blood work done yet on this.

I got it two months ago without knowing what it was because I thought it was some formed of dermatitis. It started to spread from one cheek, big red bumps to my left cheeks but now they are just small red pustules like. It used to be itchy and burning. Since being on doxycycline, no longer feel the intense itchy and burn.

Why do women get them especially I am 22 year old and never have any severe acne problem before. Does dust played a part? I cleaned my room entirely and sniffed in a lot of dust and had a rash from a cosmetic products before too.

I have read some similiar questions that dealt with women’s oily skin, but as a guy, I am not going to wear foundation. I used to have severe acne as a teenager, but now that I’m older, the acne has dropped considerably to more of a mild form. However, my skin is grossly oily and I have not been able to find something that controls it all day. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been contemplating the Proactiv solution, but if something exists cheaper and just as effective, I would much rather go that route. Thanks in advance for all the help!
