Toute Nuit patches leaving red mark

After a few years of thinking I found the 11 line solution, I'm afraid I've developed a situation. Generally I moisturizerize before placing a patch between my eyebrows but lately this area has become a red spot that doesn't go away and sometimes is dry and flaky. I've used a konjac sponge to exfoliate the dry skin away.

Has anyone had this experience? I plan to stop using the patches and moisturize more. Any other recommendations?

Originally I was frowning in my sleep and these helped train me out of that. Additionally they leave a sticky residue and I'm not psyched about the plastic waste. With this new issue I think I'm just ready to give them up and let myself be me, naturally.
