I get this sometimes too, and I have just been living with it. I think it is better than doing without them right now. I make sure to never put them in the same place and I seem to have found areas that I can use that are better than others. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you. Hang in there.
Love,
Mama

loves,
You can also try your pharmacist for assistance. Many users do get a reaction and many have also suggested that they put their patch on different parts of their upper torso.
Take the time to check with the pharmacist!
Keep Strong,
Josie
