To the oil: Testosterone injection usually contains peanut or sesame seed oil to which some people may be allergic. Consult an allergist if you need to get this issue clarified but find out which kind of oil was present in the injection you received. Since the oil will likely stay in your body for awhile, you may need to be treated with a short course of oral cortisone if the itching and bumps do get worse.
