Will applying oestrogel cream directly onto skin be effective?

[elle2011]

I bought a tube and have been applying it to my hips and ass for the last few days as well as my breasts. Any thoughts?

Putting estrogel on the breasts is not recommended (it affects even growth, apparently). Thighs, belly, upper arms, are all good.

I use patches (which i'm sure is similar to the gel) and they always say never apply them to your breasts.
