When I used it was cream based and it was daily applications, had to be careful though you accidentally touch anything and it got on it, took a while to dry and couldn't get it wet or shower for 5-6 hours after applications.Absolutely. One issue with gels was they rubbed off onto sheets and even female partners.
I'd also question the need for many such applications (5x a week??) vs 1-2 x a month injecting.
