Do rotate where you put the gel every day?

[LimesGoddess]

I have been on HRT gel for about two years now, and always put it on the inside of my thighs because I don’t really want it on my upper arms because I know it will go everywhere.

I only heard yesterday for the first time that I’m supposed to rotate the sites and not use the same body part every day, does anyone else do this?.

Does anyone know what the problem would be if you do, because I like putting it on the inner thighs and I don’t really want to try and work out how to put it in other places.

If I have to, could anyone suggest any other areas to put it apart from the upper arms?

No.

There is no consensus on this and there are different opinions.

I've used it for 18 years with a consultant and never been advised to do that.

I apply it to my upper arms (unless I'm going to use body lotion or sun cream) and only rub on the outer part of my arm, otherwise it's inner thighs.

If you feel your symptoms are coming back and it's not being absorbed, it makes sense to try another site.

I thought it was only advisable to rotate where you put testosterone gel, because of a little bit of hair growth that can happen at the site?
I find oestrogen gel dries more quickly on the upper outer arms/shoulders but in Summer I put it on my inner thighs as they will be covered up and I won't have to worry about whether I've allowed enough time before applying sun cream like I have to with my arms
