So i have high levels of DHT. I`m male, 21 years old. This is why i get acne. I tried all topicals, vitamins, antibiotics (but not on Accutane) and i can`t get rid of acne because it is related to high DHT.
What cures me is saw palmetto, but since i`m male it`s risky to take 560 mg of saw palmetto daily for long time.

I`m currently taking:

100.000 UI Vitamin A daily
4000 UI Vitamin D3
45 MG Zinc
560 MG Saw Palmetto (if stopping this, inflamed pimples appear on the cheeks)
100% Daily Recommended of Vitamin B6

Topically, i`m doing:

10% Panoxyl in the morning (using this in last 20 days)
Isotrexin in the night (using this for about 75 days)

So, from the above list, all seems to be useless as i`ve tested except saw palmetto. How can i reduce DHT Levels?
Also, my DHT levels seems to increase alot after masturbation, that's why i quit to masturbate, however i get wet dreams weekly so DHT is always high. Even with taking saw palmetto, after a wet dream i get 1 or 2 pimple.
I didn`t tried acid azelaic, topical cream, it can be the best for my case?
Or what should i do to stop the acne caused by DHT?

High DHT is also responsible for hair loss. Finasteride is a hair loss product that lowers DHT. It might work on your acne aswell?

Is it 100,000 IU of vitamin A you are taking?

Do you have a strict diet?

I`m getting 100,000 UI of Vitamin A. More exactly, Retinyl Palmitate. I`m currently on day 19. Experienced recently a breakout with some huge pimples.
I don't have any hair loss.
I generally don't drink milk or related products. If this happens, it happens once a month.
