Where To Apply Compounded Hormone Creams
Your doctor or compounding pharmacist should provide you with directions on how to use your compounded hormone creams. The following is a list of generally accepted sites for application:
- Estrogen:
wrist, forearm, under bicep, upper shoulder, inner thigh, behind knee, on rear end
- Progesterone:
forearm, neck, breasts, inner thigh, under bicep, on rear end
- Testosterone:
wrist, forearm, under bicep, upper shoulder, inner thigh, behind knee, on rear end and if in a non-alcohol base, on the vulva/clitoris
It is important to note that:
- estrogen and testosterone should never be applied to breast tissue
- application sites should be rotated for maximum success
- apply the creams where they will not come in contact with others or pets
- apply creams after showering/bathing or at least 30 minutes before water contact
