What Is Your Opinion About Stopping Testosterone Cream Since I Suspected An Increase In DHT And Hair Thinning?

Since Oct. I have been experiencing a sudden increase in hair thinning. I started using testosterone cream in Feb. I ve been on progesterone cream for years and love it. I decided to stop using the testosterone cream 12 days ago. I suspect an increase in DHT and my body isn t handling this cream very well. Does this make sense to you.

Absolutely, it makes sense that topical testosterone is absorbed sufficiently to elevate DHT and cause hair thinning especially at the temples and crown. More may cause acne, facial hair and increase appetite and irritability.
