I've been wanting to try ensam for a while now, recently I became allergic to the testosterone patches I've been using. I get a raised red area the exact size and shape of the reservoir part. The band aid part doesn't cause any problems, if I remove some of the gel and rub it on that doesn't cause a reaction either. I'm wondering if it's something in the gel that evaporates when out of the patch, the membrane material maybe?

I've been worried about the same thing since even band-aids can cause allergic reactions for me. I wish I could find out if anyone here has had a patch for any reason that they couldn't tolerate initially but them they were given something that allowed them to tolerate the patch. I believe I posted something to this effect a while ago on the health board but I didn't get that kind of a response.I wonder if it's possible to contact the company that makes emsam and ask about this.
