General Information (about the cream version)
Also known as DHT cream, topical dihydrotestosterone cream is sometimes used by transgender men looking to enhance their "bottom growth." If you are a transgender man looking to enhance bottom growth, try asking your doctor or endocrinologist for a perscription for "10% Dihydrotestosterone cream." Be sure to specify that the cream should not contain alcohol. Sometimes, this substance can be difficult to acquire in places such as The United States, and must be manufactured at a compounding pharmacy. A typical dosage is 20 mg administered three times a day. A typical length of treatment is three months.
Hair loss is a potential side effect of DHT cream. Secondary exposure is also possible, so be sure to wash up after applying it, and avoid exposure to other living beings for at least an hour.
