Love your username
Yes perfectly normal to go black its basically sweat dust etc collecting on the glue ! Yes they do crinkle up a bit I think its to do with the movement of skin underneath , but make sire irs flat when you apply it and hold hand on it for couple minutes I also press around the edges on mine . Hope this helps

Yes OCB - my patches get dark round the edge if I'm wearing dark coloured knickers or rights etc. Almost looks dirty! And yes I guess it does look crispy! Good description. As WTD says, always be sure to press it on for about 30 seconds with palm of hand. I've never had a problem.when removing you'll find the dark mark remains on the skin. It comes off easily for me in the shower.

Well am a week and a half in and loving those patch marks lol.
I have to say that I do have much more energy and feel some what less emotional than I have for a long while so thats a bonus as had turned into a miserable, cant be bothered, boring cow, with no energy.
Am having my merina coil taken out next tues, for extra fun as its due to be taken out.
