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

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to statins or testosterone adverse effects. It could be an auto-immune or skin disorder. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a dermatologist. The memory problems could be related to statin adverse effects. For this reason, if you have a normal blood lipid profile, I would recommend stopping them for a month and see if your situation improves.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
