My dermatalogist followed me, he prescribed various cortisone creams. None helped. Yes, arms were good. Legs NO! Upper back was okay. It would start to burn about an hour after application and continue to heat up, with the area under the patch turning red and thickened. I would ice it until I couldn't tolerate the burning (8 hours was usually my max). After the patch came off, the burning would gradually subside and then there would be alternate burning/itching (this would continue for about a week). The skin where the patch had been red and welted, and in the worst affected areas it would actually be broken and raw. Not a pretty picture! Nah, I feel defective because I need a drug to live. Tried oral selegeline and it wasn't good.
