Posted on Tue, 23 Sep 2014
Question: Good Afternoon, I have been using Oxytol patches for a few months and get very red & itchy. Once I change the patch the redness seems to last for ages. I have developed an itch now on my body. Would this be connected?

Brief Answer:
Looks like allergic reaction.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Both these symptoms are related and indicative of drug allergy.

Oral antihistaminic can help to relieve redness and itching.

Also bring this to notice of your doctor, so that suitable alternative to current Oxytol patches can be advised.

Hope this proves helpful.Please ask if there are doubts.Regards.
