I took of an entire layer of skin on my hand down to the meat with a 5 pound slide hammer so there's nothing to stitch back together. i tried newskin and that stuff is like putting my hand in a blast furnace for a few minutes.. may sting a little indeed!  BTW..if you ever use a slide hammer watch where your hands are at all times. I knew this, but since i was pretty exhausted when I was using mine I slipped and BAM! It'll just crush a layer of skin completely off.. Anyone who thinks I'm a weenie I finished replacing both rear bearings on my truck and put it all back together after ripping the layer of skin off and THEN put all the tools away... I slapped a bandage on it and went back to work..

The actual patch type (mole skin, etc.) I don't think hurt much.  The liquid ones, on the other hand, are as bad (or worse) as you described.  That is because of the solvents.
