For Hypogonadism, Male "I have been using the Androderm 2.5 patch for 45 days. My testosterone level has been 241 for the past several years. The first 30 days, I had zero side effects. I have noticed in the past two weeks I am developing rashes, raised red 'bumps,' itching, and swelling in the areas where I used the patch. This condition is actually considered a serious side effect that requires immediate medical attention. I have developed one particular area on my thigh that has become enlarged with intense itching. If it does not improve within 24-48 hours, I will report to the Emergency Room at my local VA. I will request my doctor to switch me to the gel, which reviews indicate a distinct odor, but that would be much less intrusive than these current side effects."

For Hypogonadism, Male "After using Androgel for five years, my body stopped responding to it. We switched to Androderm, and it works perfectly. I finally feel like every other 25-year-old guy, I have a normal appetite, and I feel well-rested in the morning. The only downside to it is the intense skin rashes, they itch and burn like crazy. My skin is swollen and red with occasional blisters, but it's manageable."

For Hypogonadism, Male "My doctor started me off on 5 mg patches. The patches created itchy, red 'polka dots' on my body. The red areas were about one and one-half inches in diameter. They frequently itched, and sometimes the red area would become irritated and swollen. The worst part is that it took at least two weeks for the spots to disappear. I stopped using the patches after one month. I asked my doctor for AndroGEL. The gel does not give me any irritation at all. The gel comes in small, pre-measured packets. After applying, you must then wash your hands. With the patches, I didn't need to disrobe to apply them. With the gel, you pretty much need to remove your shirt (or pants) so that you can rub the gel into your skin."
