Strange reaction to BC Patch
| Tue, 09-28-2004 - 10:41pm |
I've been on the Birth Control patch since March 23 of this year. Up until now I've been doing just fine. But this last month which I started my box of patches on the 8 of september it's been itching really really bad and I get a strange scaly red rash just where the patch was no where else. I don't understand why now I'm starting to get this reaction. I've also been really tired and eating quite a bit. My boobs have been hurting a lot too. Is it possible that I'm getting this strange effect from the patch because I'm pregnant? What do you guys thing??

Delayed reaction at the patch site is a possible side effect and showing up after a few months sometimes happens. If you haven’t been doing anything differently, changing soaps or other skin care products, then have you added something to your diet at about the time you began to have the rash? If you are concerned it might be a good idea to test just to see where you are. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Hugs,
Jill
