Guest guest Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Is your wife back in the hospital? Where did they say the necrosis is? I am sorry but I have forgotten where you are located. I have never used the patch because of my allergies but so many people on here do so with great success. There are the clear coverings as Kimber described, they are an occlusive, translucent dressing and have lost of different types. One thing I did read on here some time back was to decrease the skin irritation from allergy you can spray a simple nasal antihistamine, I think Flonase was suggested, to the site before applying the patch. In the hospital we used antihistamine creams, but the spray would be easier and would absorb into the skin more quickly, hence the patch can go on quicker. I dont remember who suggested the spray, but it is a good idea. I hope your wife continues to improve and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you both.
