Does anyone have an easy way to remove bandage adhesive from skin?

I recently underwent abdominal surgery, and there is an accumulation of sticky adhesive that I cannot remove with rubbing, soap or I did try alchohol.

    Leave it alone for now. You shed your epidermal layer that it's adhered to in 7 days and if you have an incision that needed adhesive it should be kept dry and not have any chemicals or oils exposed to it.

    Try peanut butter.. No joke I use it to get gum off my kids skin(they are always getting gum all over them lol) it works! Use alot , glop it on and rub it in and whipe with a damp wash cloth it should work. Good luck. (let me know if it does)

    take a shower with the adhesive tape on and soon after the shower the tape will come out easily/.

    try putting some lotion wher the sticky stuff is and then wipe it off with a wet cloth..

    never tried it before ....

    just a suggestion.

  • Try nail polish remover (acetone). Just make sure the wound is sealed and you don't get any on there (BURN!!)
