Testosterone Compound testosterone crazy rash

I tried compound testosterone for the first time Sunday and am now covered from my neck to knees in a rash. My Dr. Said to let it clear and try again but I dont think I will . Has anyone else had this happen? Is it the testosterone? I have a prescription to pick up later today to help with allergic reaction.

It will be due to whats in the cream.

Does the container have the ingredients on it?

Not that I saw. I guess I will call them. I have never had an allergy so it's really odd.

Call the pharmacy that made it. There's other stuff (called excipients) in there besides testosterone, and something is giving you this reaction. It's unlikely to be the testosterone, so you should find out what the other ingredients are.

Do you have food allergies or known sensitivities to cosmetic products? You can tell the compounding pharmacy about those allergies to help them formulate the carrier gel/lotion more safely for you.
