The reaction you describe is most probably contact dermatitis caused by the adhesive. I've looked into the subject pretty thoroughly in the past, and I never found any solution for the problem, because it's a sensitization reaction. Once you're sensitized.....
The value in using transdermal delivery of selegiline is that it bypasses first pass metabolism in the gut and liver. Some people have suggested that liquid or quick-dissolving tablets placed under the tongue might have similar bypass characteristics.
