I am transmale and I have been on HRT for over a year now. I recently switched from injections to the gel because of a couple things like increased anxiety and allergic reaction to the new scripts.
My issue with the Prasco testosterone gel is that there is so much of it in one tube. I apply it to shoulder/upper arm area in the mornings, but it just does not dry completely and recently use a blow dryer that doesn't seem to help. I am constantly unsticking my clothes off the application area, which leads me to more concerns as to accidentally getting the gel on someone. I find myself having to schedule my life around the applications as to make sure not to spread it. Sometimes I can't even do the application, which is needed daily.
I think my doc gave me this script to save money, but I found out that my insurance covers a substantial part of the cost of named brands. Would switching to one help with my issues?
I already suffer from extreme anxiety and would like to not add to it, any advice/help is muchly appreciated.
