What Causes Numbness In Arms After Using Nicoderm Patch?

Posted on Fri, 31 Oct 2014

Question: I am using nicoderm for two weeks and then my arm, the one i stick the nicoderm, feels really numb. I'm wondering if that's because of nicotine overdose. What do you think?

Brief Answer:
Considerations.

Detailed Answer:
I don't think your arm has numbness and tingling because of overdose of NicoDerm. This is probably just from some inflammation around the nerve.

I would change the position where you put the patch. I would also see your doctor for a good clinical examination.

Again it's very unlikely that you have overdosed. Also please make sure you refrain from smoking while using the NicoDerm patch.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
