Hi Barb. I asked my trustee nursing colleagues your question. They had a few questions: what are you having trouble with? Sweat? Hairy areas? Keeping them stuck on over time? If you can add some info, we can see if we can come up with some helpful hints!

Thanks for the help, Stacy and nursing colleagues! Our patient has issues with dry skin. She has been applying the patches to her upper arm and on her back with same problem. She does not use lotion to these areas. The patch seems to lift up after only 24 hours.
