Is skin irritation more common with DIY sprays than pharmaceutical ones?

Hi so, title, I’m aware inner forearm scrotum and inner thigh are typically used for estrogen sprays. Form what I’ve read inner upper arm should be basically the same as the inner foreaarm absorption wise and I’ve seen good results that way, would it work? Are there any differences with inner upper arm that could make it unfit for good absorption compared to inner thigh or forearm?
Title, so for example, the spray I got from a retailer has 40% isopropyl myristate, 40% isopropyl alcohol, 10% propylene glycol and 10% polysorbate 80. I’ve heard this formula is potentially irritating, which wouldn’t be ideal for sites like the inner thigh or inner forearms, so could it still possibly achieve somewhat stable and acceptable levels on outer thigh for example or places like that?
title basically, was the absorption like way less/did it feel like almost nothing happened? Mostly asking cuz both my forearms and thighs are irritated and I don’t wanna have to switch formulations again
Hey, so I only really started using it properly about 5 days ago. For the first 3 days, I felt absolutely AMAZING, but when I was on the evening of day 3, I suddenly had this weird anxiety spell, and that has basically stuck around ever since. Yesterday I felt both better and worse at the same time? It’s morning on day 5 now. I thought this has something to do with adjustment, but I’ve also heard that such negative mood swings can be a sign that your estrogen is too high. Could my estrogen be too high then, or is it something else?
Just for context: I’ve been using that spray for 2.5 months now, and there have been a few periods of several weeks where the absorption of the spray was poor because I was doing something wrong in my routine before applying it—like not letting my arm dry properly before applying it, etc. But for the last 5 days, I have been doing it right.
?
EDIT: Okay some additional info, this specific spray was designed for the inner thigh or scrotum and im doing it on the inner forearm cuz my inner thighs got irritated quite bad some time ago

EDIT: okay so for cintext the spray was made for inner thigh but my thighs got irritayed so I do them on inner forearm idk if this affects it bu I thought it could be relevant
Edit 2: for som reason Reddit autotenaslayed the post in Dutch even though I wrote it in English
Hey so uh, basically recently it’s been working completely fine until about 1.5 weeks ago. Suddenly it seems (or feels) like me sweating a little bit, walking, etc. During the first one hour of applying it completely messes up my absorption and makes me feel moody. I also tend to sweat very heavily, I’ve been getting really worried about this and I just don’t understand why it happens since this has never been an issue before, yes inside house temperature is high but it used to still absorb even if other parts of my body not including my arms sweated, now when my back and head feel sweaty my arms apparently sweat too or something because it just, doesn’t fucking absorb???. I do 1 spray morning and 1 spray evening. I’ve been using them for about 2.25 months, due to Dutch heatwaves and me not having an AC they may have been stored at temps above 25 C but I put them in a dark closet at the bottom of the room most of the time, when I went to a temporary vacation house with AC for 4 days I had no issues with this at all, I managed to use it properly 4 times in a row, then when I got back home this started being a thing again-
I.e for example, like the exact kiddle of the inner oeft forearm morning snd exsct middle inner right forearm evening
