i have a decent amount of acne after starting T. I wash my face every night with a cleanser scrub thing but still get lots of blackheads and pimples. Any tips at how to minimize this?

Try cutting out sugar for a bit just to test. Sebum (the wax like stuff that accumulates from your pores) is stimulated by insulin (also a hormone). So cutting out things like pop or chocolate helps with oily skin.
