Hi, I’m getting very red and itchy areas on my hands.  It is over a year since I began using the gel, as opposed to patches (which caused red itchy areas where they had been stuck).  But the gel stings my hands now and stings my arms a bit.  Thigh areas are fine but you have to apply it with your hands.  Also getting acne on my face.  So, beginning to wonder if I’m just over sensitive to the transdermal gel as well as the patch.  I don’t know what to do.

You don't have to spread the gel with your hands. Put gel straight onto your thigh then spread it with the back of a spoon, or the lid of the pump bottle.

Could it be contact dermatitis and not related to the gel at all? I developed this a few years ago. Very uncomfy https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/contact-dermatitis/symptoms/
