What is the cause of skin redness and warmth 4 days after a testosterone injection?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

This can occur due to incorrect injection placement. No need to worry as it will improve. I suggest applying Thrombophob ointment (Heparin 50.0 IU and Benzyl nicotinate 2 mg) twice daily for three days; it should resolve. Consult your doctor and take the medication accordingly. If not, contact me after three days. Do you notice any lumps or swelling? Any pain? Keep me informed.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

I can observe in the pictures (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity), the rash is a result of the injection. I suggest to avoid injecting in this area. As mentioned earlier, I suggest to apply Thrombophob ointment (Heparin 50.0 IU and Benzyl nicotinate 2 mg) twice daily. Also, take one tablet of Levocetirizine 10 mg before bedtime for three days. It should provide relief. Consult your doctor and take the medication accordingly.

I hope this helps.

It does not seem infected, but it could indicate a mild allergic reaction. I have prescribed Levocetirizine for that. Try injecting on the other side, and if you still experience the same reaction, I recommend discontinuing the injection and informing me later. If you experience any other symptoms, please inform me.

Could you also let me know the reason for using testosterone? What is your purpose for taking it?

I hope this helps.
