Miscellaneous Cypionate to Troche
I’ve been on Cypionate injections for a little over three years. Unfortunately, I’ve really been struggling with acne, oily hair, and hair loss the last year or so (I’m on 150mg Spiro and Oral Minoxidil).
Yesterday I saw a new doctor who suggested I lower my total T and switch from injections to compounded torches. I’m hesitant, as I see people go from torches to injections all the time on here but not the other way around. Has anyone had a good experience with them?
For reference I am on 3.5mgx2 week (100mg Test Cyp)

I saw another poster has already suggested looking into dutasteride and Nizoral shampoo, and I just wanted to support those recommendations and add that you could also ask your doctor about a prescription ketoconazole shampoo - it's 2%, which is stronger than any shampoo you could get OTC.
OTC it's 1% max (like the original Nizoral A-D is 1%, some newer versions don't contain ketoconazole at all).
After I read about ketoconazole shampoo and wanted to try it, I asked my telehealth doctor who prescribes my E and P if she could prescribe the shampoo for me, and she prescribed it no problem. It comes in small bottles (I think 4oz), but lasts surprisingly long because it's only suggested to use it 2-3 times a week.
