On the second day after applying the Transtec patch, a persistent, burning erythema appears. Will discontinuing/discontinuing the use of the patch make a difference? The patches have a strong analgesic effect and I wouldn't want to give them up, but lichens are very annoying

If you have developed persistent and burning erythema after using Transtec, you should consult your doctor. The decision to stop, change the patch or take a break should be made by your doctor, who will be able to tailor the treatment to your individual needs.
Possible steps include:
1) Interruption of use: Your doctor may decide to take a break from using the patch to assess your skin reaction and identify if the erythema is related to the use of the patch.
2) Changing to a different type of patch: If you have skin reactions, your doctor may recommend that you change to a different pain reliever or patches with a different formula.
3) Dermatology consultation: In some cases, your doctor may refer you to a dermatologist to evaluate your skin lesions and get more specialized care.
It is important to avoid self-discontinuing medication without consulting your doctor. Your doctor will be able to tailor your treatment plan to your individual needs, side effects and possible skin reactions.
