Comments:

The topical patch (Daytrana) may cause permanent loss of skin color, ranging up to 8 inches in diameter.  This is not thought to be reversible, and not physically harmful, but may cause emotional distress.  If changes in skin color are noted, this should be reported to the health care provider.
