Allergic reaction to Evorel patches?

[SabrinaThwaite]

I was on Evorel Conti patches for about 9 months before switching to Evorel Sequi abour 5 months ago. All fine until a couple of weeks ago when the skin underneath the patches started get red and irritated. I’ve now got itchy skin and patches of hives all around my torso and scalp. I haven’t changed washing powder or soap or any household chemicals and I haven’t had this before.

Could this be a reaction to the Evorel patches? Before the patches I was on Femoston 2/10 tablets and had no issues.

Will get an appointment with the GP ASAP but interested to hear if anyone else has experienced similar.

I can’t tolerate the patches - my skin gets red and irritated by the adhesive.

I use the Sandrena gel which is easy and convenient.

I had a reaction to the patches, but only where they had been in contact with my skin - no irritation anywhere else

Thanks both. I think even if this skin irritation hasn't been caused by the patches I’ll be switching to a gel.

I had a reaction to the patches too - after using them for quite a while. No other reactions anywhere else on body. Have switched to Lenzetto spray (3 sprays a night).
