Problems with the quit smoking patch? -


i used the patch to quit smoking about four months ago. i only used it for two weeks. then i went on my own. off the subject, it helped, and i officially quit smoking. heres the problem. i put the patch on my left arm and i still have the square mark on my arm. its like the patch chemically altered my skin. its been off for 4 months and i can still see, plain as day, where the patch was. why is this. will it go away. what can i do
The patches on the market all warn that the patches may cause irritation to the skin where applied. It is best to put the patch on a fatty area of skin and place it in a different location every time a patch is put on. I would recommend getting the phone number of the box it came in and call the company and ask them what they recommend because you are most likely not the only one with this problem. If the phone number is not on the box call one of these distributors: Amerisourcebergan or McKesson. Another sourse would be the -stop smoking line- at 1-800-no-butts. Congrats on quitting-that is a wonderful accomplishment! In the mean time try moisturizing the area with a lotion such as Eucerin or Lubriderm. Good Luck.
