I put on my Evra patch on Sunday (today is Wednesday) and I have a burning sensation where I put the patch. What should I do?

If you are experiencing a burning sensation where you applied the patch, you can remove it and apply a new one on the other arm. You can also apply hydrocortisone cream to the affected area three times a day for 4 to 5 days. If a new redness appears under the new patch, you may need to consider using cortisone spray before applying a new patch in the future. If the issue persists, you may need to consider changing your contraceptive method.
