Hello,
Are labs on DHT accurate/meaningful? - And also, If I am low, and I rub the regular cypionate oil into my scrotum, will my DHT increase as a result? - I know it is not ideal, but right now is the only thing I have on hand.
I have lowered my IM dosage to 40-50 x 2 week but apply some testim on my scrotum 1-2 in between (not much though 1-2 peas size). My DHT is a bit under 50% of the upper level. I like the feeling of this tweak.
A little T cream on the scrotum works wonders.

I know higher DHT has been linked to higher sex drive, did it affect you in a good way?

I´m 57 and I have had some hairloss since I started TRT however I have very much hair so I´m not that worried about it.
