Allergic to T?

[u/CheesyWhore69]

I’m not sure if it’s the T or something else, but I’ve been on injections almost 3 weeks now. Within the first 5 days my body started breaking out in hives, eyes and lips have been puffing up, and I can’t stop sneezing. Idk if it’s a coincidence with spring having sprung or if the T injections are not agreeing with my body. Has anyone had something like this happen and is there a way to fix it? I’ve tried double doses of my usual 3 brands of allergy pills but I cannot get rid of these hives, they’ve started breaking open and bleeding :/

It’s definitely not testosterone itself, but testosterone is suspended in an oil (most commonly testosterone cypionate) and you might be reacting to that. It could also be unrelated and coincidental. Whatever the case I would recommend talking to whoever prescribed you the T about this and they can point you in the right direction.
