I’ve been on T therapy for 10 years. I have benefited in many ways. However, I’ve been dealing with pimples or rash on my back. Has anyone have this problem? I tried using acne ointment but it only helps with the friggin itching.

Yes I do have itch on my back. Cortizone cream helps a great deal. Not sure its from Androgel but if I wear the same shirt for two days that does happen.

Mark, do you have a back scrubber? If not, consider getting one (there are silicone ones that rinse clean and less likely to harbor bacteria than a loofa on a stick).
Maybe washing your back frequently with head and shoulders shampoo will not only clean but might soothe the skin.

Can second the back scrubber. This is super important.

Thanks guys. I’m definitely going to to get a scrubber! Wife doesn’t like them hanging around. Believes in washcloths.
Just got a prescription from the dermatologist. Hopefully I can stop the itch.
