Yes it is. You could be reacting to the glue. It can cause irritation. For this reason, some women switch to gel. I guess it depends on how you feel about continuing with the patches. If it is too uncomfortable then you may wish to try gel.
That is a shame. I am glad you have a prescription for the gel though. I hope it does not take to much time to adjust to it.
