I've been on testosterone about one year and I guess the stuff on my chin/neck is starting to come in really well because it's gotten incredibly itchy. I was hoping to get some advice from people who had already experienced this, whether on hormones or through their regular puberty. Wait it out, or is there something I can do to make it itch less? Will it eventually go away, or will I just get used to it, or does it always itch, forever? Thanks!

I don't have the same type of experience, but I can tell you that its REALLY itchy. And it apparently stays itchy for a long time. I have whiskers ~ which I cannot stand. I constantly shave so I don't have any ~ and they drive me insane. The more you shave the thicker they get, the thicker they get the itchier they are.

That blows. I was excited about this until it actually happened. Now it's just kind of obnoxious.

only short hair is itchy, the only way for it to not be itchy is to either let it grow out or shave all the time. Eventually you could also just get used to the itch if you wanna keep it short.
Where my shame gland should be, there is a second awesome gland.

Like others have said, it's really itchy unless you shave it or let it grow out. But, if you decide to grow it out and it gets tothe point where you cant stand it, you can run warm water over it or hold a warm/hot rag on it for a few minutes and it will temporarily soften the hair so it won't be as bad (Just dont make it too hot or you'll burn yourself). That's what I do when I don't have shaving cream or when I'm too lazy to shave, lol.
You laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at you because you're all the same.

Yeah, facial hair is a bitch. I shave mine regularly and it often does feel itchy when it's starting to grow back after not shaving for a day or so. Shaving regularly does often take care of that, but then there's the whole razor-burn factor...
However, most of the time, I don't experience any itchiness. But sometimes right after shaving or not long after starting to grow back...it can get itchy >.<

See, its not all fun being a boy lol.
You should probably just shave every day. That is what people do. Although, you could try some moisturiser stuff - post shave cream. Might sooth your skin.
