I self inject testosterone 1ml recently I have broke out with bumps on my elbows they don t itch hurt or have pus/liquid they are just not pleasant to look at. I m not fatigued like before and I don t go limp like before just wondering if the bumps are a side effect like acne when I was a teen because of a search in the hormone
