Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Andactrim (Dihydrotestosterone) gel is widely used for gynaecomastia in patients not willing for surgery. It shows some results but not hundred percent effective. Surgical removal is the best possible option and Andactrim is used only in patients who are not willing for surgery. The possible side effects are due to hormonal imbalances and it includes acne, mood swings, blackening at the site of application and weight gain. You can consider it in case you you do not want to go for surgery.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.
