If you're still getting irritation from the patch, make sure you are rotating the placement sites and see if your doc will give you a script for one of the nasal sprays, like Flonase. I apply a squirt of flonase and let it dry, and then put the patch on. The small amount of steriods in the flonase is just enough to keep my adhesive allergy from getting bad. Before I used to have burns/blisters from the patch...kinda made it hard to find a place with intact skin to put the next patch on.
