nicotine patch allergy?

Question:

My nicotine patch is giving me terrible red welts that take a week to go away. Is there one brand that is less irritating than the others?

Answers:
The round ones seemed to be worse than the square ones. Dont use the same spot every time you put on a new patch.Pick a spot that is less sensitive. By the way a ner product called Smoke Away worked for me better than the patch. It is a nutritional suppliment that takes away most of the cravings. You will feel less interested in smoking than you thought possible. You can find it at most drug stores.

Other Answers:
Take nicotine gum. o.O if u already tried it try chewing toothpicks.

I had the same problem, but it wasn't the medication. It was the adhesive tape. I get welts from band-aides too. You need to switch to gum or a pill. Nicotine patches always gave me some redness that felt hot, but it was bearable. My co-worker, though, had it way worse than me and had to stop using them. Since then they have come out with the lozenge, which I have used and it is wonderful, and easy to use. The only problem is to remember to use one before you need it, or you'll want to grab a smoke.
