Maybe it's the type of ester your body is reacting to. Change esters if it doesn't go away in a couple of weeks.
How's your iron status?
Vitamin D?
Thanks so much for your quick reply! I will check these parameters. I am using testosterone cream, only 30 mg. I started with a low dose because I tend to react to everything. Today, the allergy specialist will see me. Sadly, I suspect the cause is testosterone...

Remember, liver issues can also cause itching.

I had all kinds of burning, itchy skin on T cream. Then again I had iron deficiency and low vitamin D at the time. If either of these are low, my skin burns, strings and is dry.

There are some guys who blame everything on TRT, a sneeze, getting sick when they have other health problems for which they are unaware.Sadly, I suspect the cause is testosterone...
So were you able to continue with T when improving iron and vit D status?
The thing is my lab tests are great: iron, vit D, liver, ... even hematocrit, which I suspected might relate to the itching.
The itching started when I started the cream. I stopped the cream and it subsided. Yesterday, I tried the cream again and the burning sensation returned. I am so upset, as my T levels are really low and was benefitting greatly from the T cream regarding energy and mood.. I really need to supplement but have reacted to T cream as well as DHEA supplement
Thank you so mucho for your time and interest

Yes, iron supplement is a must for me while on TRT.
I had a very similar thing happen. I got very itchy at more so at night as you mentioned. It turned into red blotchy spots like hives on my back usually, but the itch was all over. This went on for quite a while. Mostly at night. It eventually turned to a rash that I have all the time. Totally different and it doesn’t itch, although it looks terrible. All over my torso, and wraps around my lower back. I’m off everything now to see if it will go away. I did this once before and it did eventually go away. Sad because I love trt but it isn’t worth the itching. By any chance do you have diarrhea with the itching?

Yes, iron wasn’t my only proble, vitamin D was low as well and low vitamin D and IBS, diarrhea are common. Low vitamin D will cause itching at night because that’s when things are low if they are deficiencies.
Low potassium can cause itching and low vitamin C can cause rashes all over my body, but start to occur in certain places depending upon the severity of the deficiency. The vitamin c deficiencies start in the middle of my chest and work their way down to my stomach as my levels drop.
Liver issues can cause itching.
Click on my avatar and scan through all my threads I created on the subject.
Itching and burning skin do to liver inability to remove bilirubin access.
I thought I would put this out there for anyone who has experienced burning and itching while on TRT, in my case the cause is my liver is unable to filter out the excess bilirubin, a bile or acid compound removed by the liver and for those whose liver is functioning less than optimal can...

have you ever tried testosterone injections ? The fact that it happened as soon as you started cream again makes me wonder if you have issue with cream. Sounds unlikely but stranger things have happenedThe thing is my lab tests are great: iron, vit D, liver, ... even hematocrit, which I suspected might relate to the itching.
