Please have a look at the questionnaire page if you have a spare minute.
Hi Moleysorry to hear you've been having a reaction to the patches. It might be that you can't have them, but to share my own experience, I found if I didn't wash off the prior patch 'glue' or whatever it is properly, then after a while my body would start reacting. I mean, I have good hygiene and sure you do too, it's more if I ran a soapy sponge over the area but didn't focus on getting the glue off properly, there would be build up. I also notice that I have to put the new patch in a different place, though we are supposed to change sides anyway. It's probably a little more in your case, but just to say be aware of any build up of the sticky material from the patch, it can be invisible.
Hi I have my uterus and age 60 3 years post menopause trying HRT for bad insomnia fatigue etc . FemSeven Conti patches for 4 weeks and increasing severe local reaction that I’ve had to stop till HRT clinic soon. Had one heavy 7 day bleed already just started another ?? Anyone similar with any advice ? I am allergic to plasters so likely will struggle with alternative patches thanks

Reply Thanks yes at first I could see the glue was a problem got glue removing wipes and oil gets it off . They are like tiny blisters and burns and driving me mad !
