5 days on T and a rash?

[owl]

I've been on T for almost 6 days now. I have a rash on both sides my waist that goes from my hips to about under my binder. its not itchy..but i can feel its there. Is this caused by T? Also, my skin is super dry..It wasnt this dry before T, and now its really dry. I put some Caladryl clear on my sides..but nothing has improved yet..i'm starting to get worried..any help would be appriciated!

T tends to make your skin oily, not dry. You may be having an allergic reaction to the T or the oil it is suspended in.

what should i do? :S

Are you injecting, or are you using androgel?

It sounds like a mild allergic reaction, perhaps switching T forms may fix it. Mention it to your endo.

Keep applying a mild healing salve of some sort to the area for now and I'd suggest applying baby oil or olive oil or something similar to most/all of your skin after each shower. Skin oils itself, that's why it's "soft". If it's dry then it's no longer oiling itself properly.

First week on T I was very itchy. I assumed it was just the skin texture changing because it eventually went away.

I've felt like my whole bodies dried out no matter how much I drink. Some parts of my skin are so dry they burn at times and my mouth is super dry.  Just going to have to keep slathering on the moisturizer I guess.

Make sure you drink plenty of water.
Plain water.
Not juice, not soda, not coffee, water.

what should i do? :S 

if it continues you should discuss it with your doctor.  testosterone cypionate could be another option for you.

I had a rash for a while.

Skin was getting used to it. It went away after the 3rd week.
