A member asked:
Re: testosterone gel/androgel - can they be applied over tattoos without negatively affecting absorption of the gel? will applying over a tattoo affect it or cause fading or other issues over time? thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
there are no studies where skin absorption thru tattoos were studied that I am aware of. I would recommend avoiding those areas to make sure.

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?
