Patch burn

[Candi2587]

I stopped using the patch on my arm because it burned

Oh dear!  I never used one, but that is not normal, is it??

@Candi2587 I can be a side effect for some.  Have you been putting the patch on the same spot?

I stopped for the same reason. Then, the area stated irritated for literally weeks eventually to gradually go away. I never tried the patch since, but wonder if it had to do with the dosage strength.

Looks like you having a bad reaction to the patch @Candi2587. I would defiantly reach out to your physician if the problems persist.

@Candi2587 Candice, so how is the quit going?  Is 30 days right?

I feel this info is worth noting for patch users .

“ Mild itching, burning, or tingling may occur when the patch is first applied. This should go away within 24 hours. Call your doctor if you have a rash or if your skin is swollen or red. Do not put on a new patch.“ 

“ The opaque NicoDerm® CQ patch may cause skin burns when used during a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. You must remove the patch before an MRI procedure.”
