TweetSeveral people that I know have used the androderm patches both 5mg and 10 mg and have complained of hive like rashes at the places that they place the patch. I would not think this would be a problem but just more of a nusiance. Alot of people just opt for the androgel instead. Most of the patches will raise your t-levels to peak within about 8 hours of putting it on. Be sure and check your levels periodically when on the patch too. Perodic checks will also let you see if your body is responding negatively to the t-med by converting it into estradiol which leads to the crash and depressed feeling that some complain about on TRT.
Good Luck bro
