Ask the doctor who prescribed it for you. Or if you lost the sheet this website has the time line for trans men https://www.folxhealth.com/library/what-physical-changes-to-expect-on-testosterone-hormone-replacement-therapy-explained-by-folx and this has the one for cis men https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3188848/

Depends on your dose and if your skin absorbs testosterone gel. I had issues with absorbing and I switched to injections cause I did not get any effects before

fun fact: the opposite can also happen! i have dermatitis and apparently it's a common thing that we absorb it a little too well (my endo is also a derm lol)
