Androgel Absorption and Weather, Gloves

[Guest guest]

I have used Androgel for several years. Lately it's been very cold

where I live and the indoor humidity is very low. My skin which is

normally moist, is very dry.

This has effected my Androgel application in two ways:

1) I have noticed that when I apply the Androgel the gel disappears

(either by absorption or evaporation) much more quickly than

before.

2) Since my hands got chapped from washing off the androgel after

application, I now wear rubber gloves when applying it. I imagine

this could change absorption, since I am not losing the Androgel that

gets on my hands and gets washed off. It seems I might get more

Andogel when using the gloves.

The overall effect is that I seem to get more bang for the buck from

my Androgel. I haven't had the levels done yet, but it feels like I

am getting more than usual, maybe even a little too much (if it gets

too high I get jittery -- that could be the T itself or E derived

from the T).

Anyone notice either a change in Androgel absorption when humidity is

low or increased absorption when wearing rubber gloves?
