test shots and skin rash

[DaVinci2]

I usually have bad skin rashes in the summer. It's predominantly on my arms, and most of that down my wrists. Anyway, I noticed that this summer it wasn't so bad. I wasn't scratching so much. I still have little red marks that were itchy ever now and then. Around my shoulder it was only on the arm that DIDN'T get injected into that had red rash marks.

Anyway, for fertility reasons, I went of the testosterone 2 weeks ago. I've noticed that my skin rash has come back full force. Last night just to sleep I had to ice it. Now, is this just a coincidence or is the test doing something to my skin? If so, what exactly?

Not sure, but when I went on TRT my insomnia went away and so did my allergies:-/

I've still got insomnia

I get rashes on my face and chest when my E2 goes too high, so maybe in your case, you were getting the rashes because your hormones were imbalanced and the T-shots were able to balance your hormones.

Same here high E2 gives me a bad rash on the back of my legs and on he sides of my belly. Also had a rash for yrs between my toes that never went away. When I found out my E2 was high and I got it down and keep it down no more rash.

My rashes come in the summer when it's really hot. I've always attributed it to that. Here's something that happened though: When I first started getting these rashes I wasn't sure what it was. I went to the docs but they prescribed cream that worked while it lasted, but the rash always came back. It was expensive. I went to the pharmacy to find something cheaper. The pharmacist looked and asked to see my rash. He then asked "Do you drink or eat a lot of sugar?" At the time I did. "Do you drink beer?" Something I also did, more so since coming to Japan. He then told me if I stopped, the rash would go away. Sure enough, it ALMOST went away. I still have it during the summer months.

I did that stopped sugar never did beer don't like it. I did HC creams and it did give relief but never go rid of it. This shit sent on for yrs. also I could not go into my SPA the hot water made it worse. Hot shows would make break out in big red spots that lasted half the day. I could always eat shrimp and when this was going on if I eat shrimp I would breat out in large Hives so bad I had to go to the ER. When I first read about Estradiol and Estrogens in men it was Dr. Shippen book "The Testosterone Syndrome" he said to do Zinc with copper that it helps keep E's down. He said to start at 100mgs for 30 days then to cut back to 50mgs. I tried this and dam if it did not help my problems with the rash. But it was short lived in about 4 months it started back up. It took me months to get my Dr. to give me Arimidex he kept trying meds. and having me come back of blood work every 4 weeks so it took dam near a year to get on the Arimidex. When I got my Estradiol down my rash was gone. But the Arimidex was so strong taking 1/4 of a pill every 5 days I was going to low. So I tried Indolplex/DIM this helped for a long time but the rash was back off and on in the same spots on the back of my legs. When I went back to Arimidex the rash was going and the rash between my toes went away also. I know the high E's gave me a rash.

I used to get the rashes after drinking beer and would associate it with that, but now I think it was because beer increases E2.
