For Muscle Pain "I used to purchase Salonpas patches years ago, and I never had an issue. I just recently bought 2 packs of 20, and I later started to notice that my elbow was itching and becoming more and more crusty. I removed the bandages, and now my skin looks like it's white with a rash. What's going on with this product that used to be so good and a product that I could trust? Did you change manufacturers?"

For Osteoarthritis "Maybe I got a pack of the old ones, because that thing took the first layer of skin off when removed. I'm reading the new ones don't stick well, but the one I used didn't want to come off! Not worth it."

For Muscle Pain "I used 2 of the Salonpas with lidocaine patches for muscle pain in my shoulder and neck area. Started getting a rash after the second application. The rash is in the shape of the patch, very itchy and bumpy, and looks like it could blister."

For Muscle Pain "I’ve been using Salonpas for a long time now, and this is the only time that I experienced a side effect. The skin where I placed the patch leaves a hive or a big whole rash, and it is so itchy and uncomfortable."
