Allergy to Estrogen Patch?

I have been wearing an estrogen patch but each week (or before the week is up) my skin gets red bumps and sometimes I have an unusual rash.

Has anyone else had this happen to them?

I did with the CombiPatch, but I've been fine with the Vivelle Dot (I love how small it is compared with the CombiPatch, which has both Estrogen and Progesterone).

Which estrogen patch are you using? Even when I had the red bumps with the CombiPatch, I thought it was something that I could live with okay. You could check with your doctor and see what he says. My doctor did think it was better that I switch to Vivelle Dot, and I don't have any more rashes.

I am allergic to Latex and the BC Patch did it to me... because of the latex that is used in the bandaid type part. Talk to your dr.

I have Climara Patch. The nurse told me the some people have sensitivity when they place it on the hip area. So I moved the patch toward my butt area...if I break out there in the next week, I will be calling them. Maybe, I am allergic to the type of adhesive. It looks like the Vivelle Dot is a little bandaid (from what I've seen in their ads).
