I tried to see if there was a topic on this already but couldnt find one. My skin seems to be more itchy now. its not rashy and im not breaking out into hives. its just itchy. Like when i was on percocet from my hysto surgery. It just made me itchy which i found out was pretty common side effect.  I was just wondering if any guys have experienced itchy skin since being on T?

I started a thread on this, I don't remember the name of it.  I had the same problem.  No one here expressed having the same problem.  It wasn't an issue of what type of oil the testosterone was in (I tried both cotton and sesame).  There wasn't really a reason for it, per my physician.  I have resolved the problem by taking an anti-histamine a few times a week (per physician).  At first I needed to take it everyday, but now it is 2-3 times per week.  Anyway, physician said sometimes there aren't explanations for these kind of things and it may go away completely.  They say that if the itching is around the injection site, that is when you should consider it being what oil the T is based in.

Hope this helps.

My skin got itchy after starting T too. I have eczema, a non-contagious skin condition that causes rashes to break out in itchy patches on my body. I was worried that the increased body hair growth from T would make my eczema worse. The hair growth definitely made me itchy (The areas with new hair growth seem to be the itchiest areas). Occasionally, the itching and irritation would make my eczema break out, but I have medication to keep that under control.

I've been on T for almost four years now. My skin is still itchy, but only in the areas with new hair growth. The places on my body where hair has been growing at a regular rate for a few years no longer itch.

I definitely get itchy where hair is growing in!

Got the itchyness, too. It gets almost unbearable if I start to get too warm and sweating. Summer's a blast.
