Does Vivelle Dot Patch + Sun = Funky Rash?
Hi Sisters!
Yesterday I was at the lake at my parents cottage, sitting on the dock (can't go swimming yet arrgghhh) in the full blaring sun. After about 20 minutes of sitting there, I looked down and my inner right thigh had a weird, funky, red/white pattern going down my leg almost to my knee. It didn't itch, it wasn't painful at all, no swelling, just a cute intricate pattern! LOL
I am wearing my vivelle patch on my right abdomen and there was no "pattern" on my left leg. Every other part of my body was unscathed and it was gone by 12 midnight last night, it started around 3:00 pm yesterday.
Just wondering if anyone else wearing a patch has had this happen to them?
Thanks for any info!
HUGE HUGS!

Does Vivelle Dot Patch + Sun = Funky Rash?
I have been on Vivelle patch for 2 years and can no longer tolerate tanning. My skin gets very strange and blotchy after a short time in the sun. I also tried going to a tanning salon hoping that it would be better...it was worse. So now I do fake tan lotion and wear alot of sunscreen.
Nice happy Irish skin
I thought it was just me??

Thanks ladies......I appreciate your experiences! One no & one yes! I guess we are all different!
Bascha........did you get "blotchy" all over your body or just a certain area?

Just FYI, I had an odd blotchy patch on my right leg after my surgery that I couldn't explain. It didn't hurt or itch, it was just odd. Turns out it was from the tape they used to guide the catheter tube down my leg to the bag. It went away after a while.

My chest, neck and face. Not really sure if it was Vivelle, hormones in general or what, but happens pretty much everytime I try to tan. I hadn't heard of anyone else with the problem and my Dr. is pretty happy that I'm protecting my skin more so maybe it's a good thing.

I've heard that HRT can increase sun sensitivity.
