I understand that you can use areas other than those specifically pointed out on the diagram.

I have no specific recommendations unless it would be to look into some herbal remedies like aloe vera, etc and see if these aren't ruled out for some reason.

The few times I had real irritation it seemed to be more from pulling off a patch that was particularly tightly adhered to my skin. If that's a component, I wonder if a little moist heat, like a warm washcloth, might make pulling it off a little less irritating?
