Patches starting to irritate skin

[nsd_user663_2904]

Hi,

I am 14 days on the patches and the last two patches to come off have left a bright red square but so itchy n irritated. seems strange that they were ok to begin with but at this rate ill be looking like a chess board lol. Any ideas?

oh dear not good hun

alot of people do devolpe an alergy to the glue that is used the best thing is to peel the back of the patch and waft it around in the air for abit and try putting it on a different part of the body too

and get some anti hystemine cream (not sure if thats spelt right)to put on the sore patches which will fade or get some alergy tablets to take too

i do hope you manage to find something to help you x

Ooh that's annoying!!

Mine did the same with the red patches afterwards, but they didn't irritate me too badly.

Like Carol says, wave them around a bit first and make sure you're not reusing the same piece of skin too quickly
