nope, is this a new thing for you? sounds like you have an allergy to something in the patch. I would take it off and call the doctor.

Some people do suffer from skin reactions from the gel or the adhesives in the patch. Do not apply anything to the area, like lotions or alcohol, as this will only irritiate it further. Try moving it to another site on your body, (approved in the instructions), and see if you get the same reaction there.
Watch for a few days, if the reaction gets worse, like blisters forming, you may not be able to tolerate the chemicals in the patch and have to go to another method of birth control. Never apply heating pads to the patch, as this will cause the drug to be dropped into your system all at once.

I'm allergic to the adhesives in things like bandaids, and tape. Could be that you are allergic to the adhesive used for the patch.
