I’ve been on T therapy for 10 years. I have benefited in many ways. However, I’ve been dealing with pimples or rash on my back. Has anyone have this problem? I tried using acne ointment but it only helps with the friggin itching.

Yes I do have itch on my back. Cortizone cream helps a great deal. Not sure its from Androgel but if I wear the same shirt for two days that does happen.

Mark, do you have a back scrubber? If not, could sister getting one (there are silicone ones that rinse clean and less likely to harbor bacteria than a loofa on a stick).
Maybe washing your back frequently with head and shoulders shampoo will not only clean but might soothe the skin.

Can second the back scrubber. This is super important.
