The estrogen patch side effects do include skin irritation at the site of the patch. Is the red, sore, itchy and swollen skin you are experiencing at the site of the patch? If so, let us know, and we will see what is recommended as a remedy for this side effect (especially since you are having success with the patch to help with vaginal dryness!), and hopefully you will hear from other women what they have found to work.

If the symptoms you are experiencing is not at the site of the patch, it would be recommended to call your doctor and let him/her know of the specific site and severity of these symptoms (it could possibly be an allergic reaction to one or more ingredients).

In the meantime, you can also ask your doctor or pharmacist about their recommendations to lessen the side effects of skin irritation from the patch (if, you are experiencing them at the site of the patch).
