If you stop using your Xulane patch it will no longer protect against pregnancy, so don’t just stop using Xulane because of a rash without discussing it with your doctor first. Follow the instructions for use that come with Xulane to help avoid a rash developing: If a rash develops that requires the removal of the patch, then the patch can be removed and a new, replacement patch applied at another suitable site on the body. If the rash is severe or otherwise concerning, or you have ongoing problems with Xulane causing rashes, then contact your doctor for advice.
