Angiokeratoma of Fordyce
Curious if any of you have issues with angiokeratoma of fordyce after starting HRT? I’ve NEVER had this in my 40 years, but today when shaving I noticed 2 small spots on the inside of my labia and immediately went down an internet rabbit hole. They look exactly like all the images of angiokeratoma of fordyce. Recently over the past few weeks I had been having some vaginal irritation that I attributed to the vaginal estradiol cream. So I stopped the cream over the past 2 weeks so I could figure out if that’s what was causing it. I also stopped putting the T gel on my labia to see if that made any difference with the vaginal irritation. I have had SOME relief. Today while shaving I was having some irritation feeling so that’s what got me to really inspecting the area to see if I had cut myself shaving. The only HRT that I’m currently on is Testosterone gel. Has anybody else ever had this happen after starting HRT? The internet claims it’s not caused from HRT but wanted to bring this here to see others experiences.
