Androderm Skin Rash

In clinical studies, a skin rash occurred in up to 2 percent of the people who were using Androderm® (testosterone patch). Although this reaction is a common side effect of the medication and typically easy to treat, you should still contact your healthcare provider if it occurs, as it may be an allergic reaction to Androderm.
 
Other common side effects of Androderm included other reactions at the application site, such as:
 
  • Itching
  • Blisters
  • Redness.
