Do you rotate areas? Or stick with one area?

I just started my comounded cream 3 days ago. Says apply to inner arms. Wi sering if I shoud rotate. Inner thigh maybe?

Hi Crispy

My consultant told me to put it on the top of my feet. I believe on another thread a few other ladies said they do that too. xx

[Nix]

Really… that’s interesting, I’ve been putting it on the inside of my knee… might change to feet…

I put it on the inner forearm and rub in with the other inner forearm. That way there’s none wasted 😅.

Thanks ladies. That's what I was told to do by my clinic and what I'm doing too dotty.

I like the fact it doesn't touch my fingers - I have 2 young teen boys... They don't need any extra 🤣

But I am wondering if rotation of site is better?!!

That's where I was recommended to apply  Testogel, but I switched to inner thigh when I started using patches, because I put patches on tum.

I was recommended to apply it to upper inner thigh by the clinic that first prescribed it (alternating left and right), warning me I might get hair growth at the application site. I did and at some distance from it (T is transported through the skin, I read). I also started to get some strange sensations in my nether regions 

I then changed to inside of knee but continued to get quite a lot of hair growth on thighs and lower legs. Not being a very hairy person previously ( apart from my head!) this was unwelcome so I took a leaf out of sheila99's book and applied to inner sole of foot where the soft skin is - and have stayed with that.

I'm sure its fine to apply to wrists but I personally wouldn't want to apply to any other part of the upper body although the previously licensed Intrinsa patch was recommended to be applied either to butt cheeks or abdomen - can't remember which.

Oh, we're all doing completely differently then. 🤣

I'm only on 1mg, so hopefully no hair will appear. What sort of hair Hurdity??? Like course hair?

Maybe once I've established it, I'll move to foot. I like the foot idea. I take it your foot has not sprouted hair? 

So, Hurdity, I know you've been on it a long time - I assume you noticed no change in absorption by swapping to foot???

[Hurdity]

Hairy hair... just dark coarser hairs where there were none. the sort you want to shave off! I've never had hair on my thighs, ever!. My lower legs were never too hairy either and they are more so....So far no trace of any hair on soles of feet  !! No sign of any change in absorption - I worried about that too but "response" still loud and clear and I can't hope for better than that at my age

I apply it in the upper outer quadrant of my buttocks.
