Apply Androgel to clean, dry skin. Avoid using excessive amounts; a pea-sized amount is usually sufficient for each application area. Ensure the gel is fully absorbed before dressing.
Dealing with Sticky Residue
If you experience stickiness, gently blot the application area with a dry cotton ball. Avoid rubbing, which can spread the gel. Consider using a smaller amount of gel next time.
Preventing Gel Transfer
After applying Androgel, wait at least five minutes before touching the application area or getting dressed to minimize transfer to clothing or other surfaces. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after application.
Managing Irritation
If skin irritation occurs, use a separate cotton ball to apply a thin layer of a gentle moisturizer after the Androgel has fully dried. If irritation persists, consult your doctor.
Dealing with Uneven Application
For even distribution, use several smaller cotton balls instead of one large one. Apply Androgel in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding more. Gently pat, don’t rub.
Optimizing Cotton Ball Choice
Choose soft, lint-free cotton balls for application. Avoid those with added lotions or fragrances which could interact with Androgel.
