Androgel 1.62% (20.25mg/1.25gm) Pump: My Experience and Concerns About Side Effects
I've been using Androgel 1.62% for about three months now, and I've seen some improvements in my energy levels and sex drive. However, I'm a bit worried about the potential side effects, especially the serious ones. I've been applying it to my shoulders as instructed, but I'm not sure what to do if I start experiencing any of the symptoms listed. Has anyone else had any serious side effects, or should I just keep an eye out and hope for the best? I've also read that it can cause some emotional changes, which is something I'm really hoping to avoid. Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

I just caught my partner taking my Androgel and using it. I hadn't applied it yet, so she accidentally rolled on. It does say to call your doctor or seek medical attention if you have accidental skin-to-skin contact. Anyone else had this happen? I'm nervous to call the doctor and am wondering if this will be ok.
I've also had some issues with the application site, it gets really irritated. I've used other testosterone methods before, but the gel seems to cause the worst skin irritation.
I've been on Androgel for a couple of years now, and while I've had some mild side effects like acne and irritated skin, nothing serious. Just make sure to wash your hands after application and avoid contact with others until it's fully absorbed. It's also a good idea to apply it to the same area each day to keep track of any skin reactions. And remember if they do come up, it's important to talk to your doctor right away.
I've had some trouble with frequent erections, which was actually a problem in my situation. So, if you're in a situation where that could be a problem you might want to alert your doctor to the situation right away!
I had a friend who had a really bad reaction to Androgel. He started experiencing severe headaches and vision changes, which turned out to be signs of high blood pressure. Make sure you're getting your blood pressure checked regularly while on this stuff. It's a serious issue that can creep up on you and it doesn't show any symptoms as much.
I started Androgel a few weeks ago and I've felt great so far! No weird side effects or anything. I hear some people have trouble with it, but I guess I got lucky. Just be careful about it getting on other people, that can cause issues for them if they touch it, so keep it clean!
I've had some emotional swings since starting, nothing too crazy, but it's something to keep an eye on. It could just be a placebo effect, but I'd definitely bring it up with my doctor at my next check-up.
I did Androgel for a while and the acne was a nightmare. Had to quit. It's ugly stuff guys, be careful.
