Is Androgel causing my extreme neck itch?

I'm a bit confused and looking for anyone who has experienced this. I started Androgel (half pump) on March 20th this year. I'm also on Progesterone. I put the Androgel on the back of my calfs or inner thighs. I have had zero skin reactions in those areas. But starting last week the front of my neck has become extremely itchy and red. I haven't changed anything else in my life in terms of food or creams or laundry detergent. Nothing that would explain what is happening. I did see one post on here from two years ago about someone having this exact reaction. I noticed my latest bloodwork shows higher than "normal" hemoglobin. My T levels are definitely getting higher but I wouldn't say they are extreme. I have had zero improvement in my sex drive so far which is super disappointing. Not sure what any of this means. Just looking for opinions and experiences.
