I get mild hives when i take nsaids. if i used a patch or an ointment w an nsaid type of drug in it, would that also bother me? would reaction be less

Same reaction: A true allergic reaction , like hives, would also cause you to react the same way to the drug even if given in another form. Dont try it.
