Prescribed 1.62% testosterone gel. the instructions in the package & online say to use on shoulder/upper arms only yet the doctor stated on rx to apply to inner thigh once daily. is this ok vs shoulders - will it work equally well? how about forearms?

The application is to cover a wide area and not be rubbed away. It will work equally well at both thigh and shoulder. On forearm chances of it being wiped off are higher. If you are un-convinced ask your doctor.

I would think skin is skin is skin. So should not make a difference. But discuss with your Dutch team as maybe it works differently there.
