Rash

[tb1358]

2 weeks ago I switched from pellet, after 2.5 year, too injections. About the same time I developed what looks like a measles rash all over my trunk, legs and arms. I'm skeptical that the two are related but wanted to ask if anyone has ever heard of this type side to injections

I've never heard of anyone getting rash from testosterone, only people needing to switch oils. Because of allergic reactions from the oil.

 

[Nelson Vergel]

I agree with Vince. Any food or other allergies? I would take a Benadryl and see if it happens again after the next injection.

Some men are allergic to any of the different oils used in esters, but the allergy usually does not involve generalized rash.

Gentlemen,

no food allergies. You are correct in that my point was on the oil, not testosterone. The first two injections had sesame oil. Rash is still apparent. Doctor has instructed me to skip my next shot to get the oil out of my system. I have read that grapeseed oil may be a good alternative to sesame, since I have had this neck to toe rash response. Thoughts on grapeseed oil, if you have had any experience with it.

Thank you

I've never used anything other that grapeseed oil. Works for me. Cottonseed oil might be another option for you.

I also use grapeseed oil and never had a bad reaction.

Gentlemen.

Thank you. I plan to move in the direction of using grape seed oil.
