I have also read that itching can be due to stopping smoking. The itching is not at the patch site, it's generalized.

As a former smoker I can guantee its not the quitting the smoking that is making you itch. It's the patch you are reacting to. You need to stop using them immediately. It releases a slow dose of nicotene into your entire body over a period of 24 hours. It could be that or something else in the patch itself that is causing your reaction. A lot of people that try the patch, including myself get very sick to their stomach from too much cotinuous nicotene in their system. Just my thoughts... Mary

Allergic reactions can be serious, even fatal. Be sure to remove the patch and call your doctor right away. It is important to find the cause.
Please lookup allergic reactions on the web. You can lookup your patch in the drug identifier at the top of the page.
