Patch skin is itching, help...
| Mon, 06-07-2004 - 4:13pm |
Hi there,
I've been on the Ortho Evra patch for 5 days now. The skin underneath the patch is itching a little now, and has been since yesterday. I think I may have irritated the spot. I plan to move it on my change day, but what can I do to prevent my skin from itching in the next place?

If you're allergic to the adhesive, it may continue to happen...speak to your doc about it if you have the same issue with next couple of patches.
It may not be an allergy though - I tend to get a little dry spot at my patch sites, and sometimes it's the dryness that causes a little itching.
