Post by: Tinkerbellj on November 05, 2017, 08:07:51 PM
Been on testosterone for just over a week and my face chest and groin are covered in really sore boil like spots...will these settle? If its not one thing its another :-\

I think it affects some more than others.  I only got one or 2 zits on my face.  It settled for me, let's hope it does for you x

Sounds rotten Tinkerbellj  >:(

It's early days for me too - within the first week of use I did get a big spot on my chin and I thought exactly the same as you  ::)
I guess it's a case of seeing if things settle and other benefits begin to appear - good luck!

Oh dear - how much are you using? I didn't get any side effects at all (apart from hairy thighs!) but I'm only using a pea-sized blob.

My go said to use one quarter of a 5g tube!! But from your advice hurdity I knew better so just a pea size blob. No hair growth at all just sore spots!!! Having said that I am also recovering  from a severe bout of diverticulosis but even at that I thought the antibiotics woukd have sorted them but no....out with the tea tree oil it is then lol

I got some huge spots the first month using testosterone but then completely settled. Maybe try using a smaller dose to start with?
