Dht And Its Role With Acne

I am 22 years old and I am a long time acne fighter. I have done countless hours of research on online forums and sites trying to figure out different ways to cure my acne. I for the most part have my acne under control with diet and basic healthy choices and have dramatically cleared up my acne by reducing the hormonal spike that happens from sugars and processed foods and replacing them with vegetables and probiotics. I still have one lingering problem however; Whenever I do heavy compound lifting, My body tends to breakout. I know it is because of the elevated levels of testosterone converted to DHT and my body responding to these drastic spikes in hormones that come from lifting heavy which cause your body to grow. to further the evidence that DHT from these hormones are the cause (excuse the details) my acne flares up usually a day or two after ejaculation. I recently did a test to see if DHT was the problem by supplementing with Beta sitosterol, stinging nettle and saw pallmeto during my workouts to reduce the levels of dht in my body during and post workouts. It worked like a charm. I had no new breakouts and I thought I had my cure. However, My libido and sex drive dramatically dropped and also my energy levels seemed way down also. I just overall felt lethargic and my workouts were pathetic. I went off the beta sitosterol and stinging nettle while still using a low dosage of saw palmetto and these problems reversed. However, the acne on my body came back (not as hard though pre use of Saw pallmeto) I am in desperate search of a solution that allows me to lift while not causing my dht levels subsequently to spike and cause an acne breakout. What would you suggest to try internally and topically block dht while minimizing its effects on my energy levels and sex drive?

The only problem I had with beta-sitosterol pills is that it killed my libido. To the point it was almost non existent=/ I'm looking around for something topical to maybe block DHT. Any ideas? Something natural though!
