To slit the the band aid package open. Is it easier...no. Much easier and quicker to tear it open. Who has time to look for a little string when they are gushing blood all over the place.

HELP - I am allergic to bandage adhesive?
I have been allergic to latex for at least the last 10 years. This has made buying latex free bandages almost impossible until the last few years. Just recently (the last few weeks) I have developed an allergy to teh bandages I have been using that are latex free. The brand is Nexcare. Does anyone know of another brand of latex free bandages? I am at the point of not being able to use bandages. This is a problem since I don't heal well to begin with and usually require bandages for prolonged periods of time. Any help would be appreciated. I used to use paper towels and paper tape. I don't want to return to that. Thank you.HELP - I am allergic to bandage adhesive?
im in the same boat... i cannot wear any type of bandaid... im not even allergic to latex... if i have a cut that needs to be covered, i will wrap guaze around it.. then tape the guaze..i know it makes a small cut look big, but at least my skin wont be torn off by the bandaid.. you can also try to get some of that stuff they use in drs offices and hospitals, i forget the name, but you just wrap it around and it sticks to itself...HELP - I am allergic to bandage adhesive?
I've used some 'liquid bandage' stuff on some wounds - its a clear liquid that dries over the wound to seal it up:

Sometimes I've also used rolled gauze bandage to tie pads over wounds. Lastly, I've used a Nexcare Transparent Bandage, as found here:

But I found it kind of uncomfortable because it trapped in a lot of heat. Good luck, hope you find something that works.
check out band aids new skin it is not an adhesive but a liquid you put right on the wound, and then it seals it when it dries. check ingredients first but it is worth a try.
Please tell me that you are under the care of a good dermatologist! this is more than allergy. talk to him/her now!
you know, i am allergic to latex, and i know people who are allergic to the adhesive. all you can do it try the liquid bandage stuff (after you wash it well) and even though this may sound awful.... some people i know use super glue... but be careful it is horribly sticky!
Try using gauze and tape, or try liquid bandage.

How to get bandage adhesive off skin?
Rubbing alcohol works.How to get bandage adhesive off skin?
alcoholHow to get bandage adhesive off skin?
rubbing alcohol swap
Use lighter fluid on a cotton ball, then rub the marks left by the bandaid.
baby oil, or just soap and water with warm water on a washcloth, but i would try the baby oil first
Heat it with a hair dryer then rub it off or you can also use rubbing alcohol.
Never heard of the rubbing alcohol -- I have always used a good hand cream and it kinda dissolves it (lifts it off the skin and then I roll it off). That way, my skin is nice %26amp; soft afterwards.
a bit of baby oil or skin so soft by avon
Most medical bandage adhesive removers have acetone in them, so I would try over-the-counter nail polish remover. Just try to keep the stuff off any open wound as it might hurt. Just light scrub the area with a gauze with the remover on it. If the skin gets irritated, then stop and wait to do a little more the next day when the irritation has resolved.
Short answer - vegetable oil!
alcahol, whitchazel, any cream or oil.

Had a reaction to adhesive on bandages. How can I get my skin back to normal?
Three weeks ago I had surgery and was bandaged for a couple of days. Had a reaction to the adhesive and was extremely itchy and had a bumpy red rash. Used both oral and topical benedryl for about a week, the itchiness is gone, and it doesn't look quite as inflamed, but the skin is still really bumpy and a little red. How dow I get the skin looking normal again?Had a reaction to adhesive on bandages. How can I get my skin back to normal?
I use this stuff: http://www.aveeno.com/productDetail.do?p鈥?/a> I have the same reaction with band-aid adhesives.Had a reaction to adhesive on bandages. How can I get my skin back to normal?
I used Blue Star ointment for my skin issues, keeps it moist, and helps heal it up. Could also use tripple antibiotic. Next time tell them paper tape only.
CONTINUE WITH ORAL ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.
WHOOPS. MISSED THAT WINDOW.
Saliva. I'm sure there are plenty of willing volunteers here. *sits and waits, hopefully*
Apply Aloe Vera Gel and wait for a few weeks.
Sprem..works for everything else. Hope it gets better, Syd.
Come over here and let me take your temperature. I'm going to have to swab you for DNA too.
Visit a tanning bed for just like 10 min? That's my guess. How is the shoulder now?
You could use some Uncle Malibu's man oil. I'll be there around six-ish?

What to do when adhesive from bandages causes the skin to be stretched out and irritated?
I got a few moles removed last week. One was on the groove of the inner thigh, right by the bikini line. I have to remove the bandage and replace it daily, but the adhesive from the bandages has really irritated my skin, causing it to be red, irritated, and it looks like some parts of the skin have been stretched out. Due to the area it's in, and the wound left behind from the mole being removed, I can't use a mere band-aid because it won't stay, and if it comes off, the wound will hurt ten times as much, so I need to use the heavy duty dressings that stay on. Yet, due to how badly it hurts, I've resorted to using a band-aid tonight, but since the area rubs against skin every time I take a step, I highly doubt the band-aid will stay on tomorrow, or even through the night while I'm asleep. Is there any way to tend to the irritated skin? And just to be a little clearer, it's the skin around the wound, where the adhesive of the dressing was, that is irritated, not the wound itself.What to do when adhesive from bandages causes the skin to be stretched out and irritated?
When I was 20 years old, (many, many years ago), I suddenly developed an allergy to adhesives. They caused itching, redness and skin irritation in the area where they were applied.
One would think that over the years BandAids, surgical and medicated tapes, etc. would have evolved to be ALL hypo-allergenic. I recently learned the hard way that is not the case at all.
I suggest purchasing a new package of dressings that says hypo-allergenic somewhere on the package, or ask your Pharmacist for a recommendation. Also, if you can handle it, you might leave off the dressings at night so as to allow your skin to recover from the irritation.What to do when adhesive from bandages causes the skin to be stretched out and irritated?
try to stop useing bandaids, and instead, get some gause, and just wrap it around your leg and tape it over the gause. if it doesnt stay, then take some stright and tie it to your under ware. also put some anitbacterial onitment on the irritated skin. if u ever deside to use a bandaid aigan...leave it on when you take a shower so that the water can help remove it, and keeping getting it wet and soapy, i dont kno if they make this forr sure...but look in the store for some bandide remover. =D also exersize and lotion will help tighten up the skin.

Actually, there is a very simple method that you can use. Place rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and then apply to the areas where the sticky adhesive remains.

I need to understand why my skin has been discolored from bandage adhesive?
The brand name is Curad. I can't understand it. I started putting on Eucerin, hoping it would clear up but it is still there. It looks like a scar in the shape and size of the adhesive from my bandage. The only thing I can think of is that I had to keep a bandage over the same spot for about 2-3 weeks, so I would change it every day. Now I have a permanent mark!I need to understand why my skin has been discolored from bandage adhesive?
allergy or trauma?? see your dermatologist.I need to understand why my skin has been discolored from bandage adhesive?
You are probably allergic to them, just like I am. It will take a while, but the discoloration %26amp; welts will go away on their own eventually.
