Title: Rash on evorel 50
Post by: Karras77 on May 07, 2022, 10:00:20 AM

Just put my first half patch of evorel 50 on last night up from a 1/4 and this morning have rash all over abdomen. Is this a normal side effect that goes away? Patch is on top of thigh.

I get a rash from using patches too. Sometimes I have it on my stomach and sometimes it goes. Mine does not itch.

It's an allergic reaction. You should remove it immediately and ask your gp for something else (I had it too but only under the patch).

It's probably the adhesive you're reacting to as it's synthetic rubber.

Thank-you everyone. It seemed to fade away yesterday and I remembered I had the same rash recently after trying fake tan so think I'm just a bit oversensitive to things. Have kept the patch on at the moment but keeping an eye on it 🤞
