Title: Best Place to apply Testosterone Gel?
Post by: loren1 on August 07, 2017, 12:01:49 PM
Hey guys,

Because of my decreasing T levels and the acne on my shoulders, I think I want to start applying T gel to my abdominal area instead of my shoulders/upper arms. This is one other place that the packet my doctor gives me says I can apply it to.

Does anyone know if applying it to the stomach is any better or worse than applying it to the shoulders? I'm worried about just being hairier there and having more fat and thicker skin, but I just can't stand to apply it to my shoulders anymore.

As long as it's a recommended area for your specific brand, it shouldn't make a difference.

No better or worse in my view. Possible you might get less acne on the stomach, I know I get less there but sometimes still get a rare spot there. Never had any applying to thighs. I alternate between the three locations.

Did find alcohol-based gel actually helped get rid of the acne on the shoulder area, as you'd expect with the alcohol being antibacterial.
