sorry to hear about this. Hope it does improve. Is there a rash as well? Maybe it is irritating your skin. YOu could try the obvious thing and just see how it goes for a few weeks if you can possibly bear it.
I used these patches for 8 years very successfully, and had no itching at all. However, I always got marked skin irritation every time where the patch had been stuck, and there was always a red patch there for a day or two afterwards. So it did make my skin red, just thankfully not itchy as well
make sure you place the patch on skin that has no lotions, oil, powder or moisturiser on it, or anything like that. Also it helps to put them on cool and dry skin - ie not after a hot bath or shower either. And always put the patch on a different side and different position each time you place one, as it says in the instructions. I think i have read somewhere that exposing the patch to sunlight might not be such a good idea - ie sunbathing with one on your skin under the sun might not help if the skin is liable to get irritated. I don't know.
