Skin irritation with patch??
| Mon, 04-12-2004 - 11:08am |
I just started the patch last week. I changed it last night and put a new one on my other cheek, however there is still a pink square where the old patch was. It doesn't itch or hurt or anything, its just a solid pink square (not just around the outside where the adhesive is). Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how long until it goes away?
Thanks.

I have used the patch for several months now. When I remove it I usually have a pink mark and chapped skin, but nothing bothersome. It usually goes away by the next day. Just make sure you change the spot you use every week so that that skin has time to recover - not only is is receiving medicine through that patch, but it also does not get a chance to breathe for that whole week. Just think about what it is like when you take a bandaid off. I would give it a few weeks and if the pink mark does not go away or if you have itchy skin, I would see your doctor - you may have very sensitive skin.
