    Hydrocortisone, HPA and Testosterone

    Ok, stupid question, but figured I'd ask anyway.

    My foot doctor prescribed me Hydrocortisone 2.5% for the bottom of my feet (excessive dry skin). I've been using it once a day for 5 weeks now. I just read over some information on Hydrocortisone and other topical corticosteroids, in that they can suppress your Hypothalamic Pituitary Axis. Is this what is responsible for testosterone productions or am I thinking of HPTA?

    I'm curious, because as of lately, I've felt less than normal and my TRT dosages and everything has stayed the same. Don't know if it's that or I'm just paranoid, but the boys seem smaller also.

    I've also had a cold, so I don't know if it's that. Probably just paranoid, but wanted to check.

    Stop being paranoid, I've never heard of anything that would correlate(sp) the two.

    HC cream isn't meant to be used long-term. i used it everyday for 10 years and i'm dealing with the results now.

    try some Gold Bond, i hear that stuff works great on your feet.

    If you don't mind me asking, what results are you dealing with now?

    Thanks for the Gold Bond tip, I'll try it out.
