My father (71 years old) started using Androgel recently. He stopped because his nipples started scabbing. Any idea what would cause this? I have told him that testosterone affects more than just his pecker (i.e. heart, brain, bp....) and that he needs to find out what the issue is and get back in balance. His doctor has no clue.
Thanks!
I am 67yo.
65 and older are on Medicare.
Medicare just paid 100% for my long test.
Have him get it, post it here with names, ranges.
Go only to Quest Diagnostics.
Have him draw blood at Quest
Go to Quest couple days before the actual test, so they can prepare paperwork without pressure, it is long test.
Doctor have to get a Medicare form for ease of ordering.
Here is the list, print it out give it to doctor, afterward recheck, lots of mistakes is possibele.
After the test results are at the doctors office, two three weeks, get yor clean copy.
See what is missing, ask for missing items.
I retyoed the whole test because the way it comes from Quest is a mess.
You can see my test in attachment here, first post:
