question from a user
Do you also recommend that location for Androgel for your patients? It says to only use your shoulders, but have also heard that is because that is all they could get cleared for? You also mentioned creams. Are creams better than gel? Or just the same? Additional info is that I have fantastic insurance that covers everything.

We actually recommend application of gels and creams to the scrotum. This is because the skin there is thinner and more vascular, so you get better absorption there. Also it’s less likely to transfer to others.
Creams and gels are similar in effect and absorption, though most people prefer the cream in that the application is easier.
