Josh2xh 70 Posted June 14, 2014 My doc said I was allergic to the adhesive used to hold down the strips and the itching is feeling marginally better after driving me crazy for the last week! This is 100% right. Its the adhesive. Once it comes off things will get better, but it took a good 2 weeks for the skin soreness to subside for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
