From:

After removing the patch from a location the only thing that gave me any

relief from the burning itch was Hydrocortisone HC2 5%PWD ointment, applied

sparingly several times a day.

*************************************

I read your E-mail carefully. I'll be sure he doesn't wash the new area with

a washrag, only water. I had 2.5 hydrocortizone cream from my nieghbor, amazing

the improvment in a couple hours. Thanks.

From: Boop4@...

lay your palm over the patch for 5 minutes. ...

It's called " Goo Gone " .

*********************************************

Really???? The packaging says to hold 30 seconds and I called the company

about it too. I thought about Goo Gone, but was afraid of the chemicals on

sensitive skin. I want to pick up baby oil tomorrow, but today I used Skin- so

-soft from Avon, it took it off easily, but I think the perfumy smell might

irritate the skin too. Thanks , I'll hold the patch longer.

******************************************************************************

I think the worst part of the skin reaction was from the covering that went

over the patch. The Company that makes the patch will send you, free of charge,

a covering for the patch if you have trouble keeping it on. The cover is like

the clear stuff they put over an IV now days. I will see if we can keep the

patch on without the covering. Thanks to you all. Cindy C.
