Hi.

Perhaps your skin is reacting to the topical nature of the lidocaine??

I've used them MANY times for my sciatica and never had any skin reactions whatsoever.

But the king of skin problems is my husband. His skin is super sensitive. He just got rid of psoriasis after YEARS of gigantic lesions. Clobetasol did the trick for him.

My husband used lidocaine patches on each toe (for years), around 6 years ago. He went to bed every night with them. He cut each of them into strips and wrapped all the strips around his toes, making sure to cover each toe.

He has never had any reaction to this. And if anyone would get a reaction, it would be him.

I really don't know why this is happening to you. Call the pharmacist, or the manufacturer of this patch. Maybe you got a bad box??

Possible!!!

Best of luck
