A member asked:

What are the effects of applying the contraceptive patch on the same place as the previous one from last week?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Michelle Jones singer answered

Specializes in Gynecology

Usually none: If the area does not have a rash or scratch, it is fine to apply it to the same place.
