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

Baby oil.
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!!)
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)
To CHERI: Are you NUTS!!???
take a shower with the adhesive tape on and soon after the shower the tape will come out easily/.

Are there any ingredients found in bandage adhesive that are also in chocolate?

We discovered that our daughter is allergic to chocolate because she broke out in hives anywhere chocolate icing touched her skin on her first birthday.





Last week, she needed a band aid for a scrape on her arm. When we removed the bandage, she had the same rash where the adhesive was stuck to her skin as the rash she got with chocolate.





Are there any similar ingredients in these two things, or does she just show the same allergy signs to both products?Are there any ingredients found in bandage adhesive that are also in chocolate?
gluten?? maybe they use gluten in the bandaids.... i know they use it in stamps.....;0)





peaceAre there any ingredients found in bandage adhesive that are also in chocolate?
try this website www.fedupwithfoodadditives.info/failsafe鈥? we have food intolerances and allergies in my home. I'm allergic to bandaids, and there are chemicals called amines that are in chocolate that could be a culprit. Hope the websites a help. May give you ideas on what to watch out for. Good Luck with it. :)

Does anyone else think that adhesive bandages (e.g. Band-Aids) are hard to open?

especially when you're standing there dripping blood out of a cut!





couldn't they design a better way to open these $%$^#^ things?Does anyone else think that adhesive bandages (e.g. Band-Aids) are hard to open?
I know, I agree. We just need longer tabs!Does anyone else think that adhesive bandages (e.g. Band-Aids) are hard to open?
I totally agree..If you are alone when you need to use one of the damned thing it gets covered in blood before its even in place..


But it isn't just band-aids...Mars Bars.Crisps etc..so many of these things I now have to use scissors to open...child proof containers too...bleach bottles I feel are rather dangerous I have to battle so long to open them I get afraid I may spill some..
Finally I know I am not alone! Thank you.
That is your million dollar idea, my friend. Invent a new way to package bandages!
As far as I am concerned, everything is harder to open. You need scissors, a hack saw, dynamite, and maybe a jack hammer to get chit out of packaging.
yes they are.. but in my opinion.. the least expensive brands are even harder to open.. when i was in school.. it was hard opening them.. when u are not supposed to touch the actual pad part to cover an injection area..
especially with a cut on your finger
Yes, and there's always a fair amount of cursing to compliment the struggle to open the darn thing.
If you are in a rush yes but otherwise no.
lol! yes I know exactly what you mean!
Ohhh and don't let it be your finger that needs the band aid and you have no one to help you.


Then you try to use the uninjured hand and your teeth, that does not work!





The should perforate the edges.


I thought I was just me!





And whats up with encasing things in that plastic then sealing the edges.


That's how a sliced my finger and realized that the dang band aid took an engineer degree to open with.
Yes, I find that very annoying. I have torn through many band-aids before being able to get one on my wound; and, yes, I have lost a lot of blood in the process.
Not really
Yes, it's true. I hate those crappy bandages.
Yeah, you'll bleed to death trying to open the band-aid package. That's the reason I use duct tape. Duct tape stays on too!

Adhesive Bandages(Band aids)...?

For a while know I've known I'm allergic to adhesive bandages, from trial and error I've figured it's most likely the adhesive itself(I know I'm not allergic to latex) so I was wondering if anyone here knew the most common adhesives used in adhesive bandages?





(And what substitute hypoalergenic bandaids use?)Adhesive Bandages(Band aids)...?
I'm allergic to most adhesives also. I have found the stronger the adhesive the worse it is.





I usually make my own bandages and just make them to wrap around the areas keeping skin contact to a minimal amount if not any contact at all.





Some hospitals are banning band-aids altogether now.





Here is a good article discussing allergic reactions to adhesives.

GOOD LUCK!Adhesive Bandages(Band aids)...?
I do not know if you are having problems, simply use super glue....seriosuly hold the wound together and put a strip of super glue. We always used this especially in quick wrestling matches!
Good question





I avoid using band-aids etc, and use a bandage for wounds, taking care to avoid the adhesive coming into contact with my skin.





I am a First Aid instructor, so usually will mention how to deal with those who have band-aid allergies, especially if asked.





Jeffrey thanks for the link, it had some really useful info.
buy coban and gauze.

How do you remove bandage adhesive residue left on the skin after removal?

I still have a bandage there that's not allowed to get wet, but it's smaller than the first and there is gross sticky grotty stuff left behind on my skin from the previous bandage!





How can I get rid of the stuff without doing anything bad to the one currently there?How do you remove bandage adhesive residue left on the skin after removal?
Alcohol on a cotton ball will work wonders.How do you remove bandage adhesive residue left on the skin after removal?
You got the three options below in the other responses


Try one after the other but the rubbing alcohol will work because you will most likely have that at home.
Try some vegetable oil. Then wash off the mess with soap and water. The others work too, but vegetable oil won't sting if it gets into an open wound.
Acetone or nail polish remover will also work.

What is the signeficance of the adhesive bandage ';Band-aid Brand'; ?

This is NO joke I need a answer that is completely right! Just to make sure, can you add a resource(s) if desired!What is the signeficance of the adhesive bandage ';Band-aid Brand'; ?
I believe the significance is that band-aid brand adhesive bandages were the first ones. Which is why most people refer to them as band-aids (not ';adhesive bandages';) even when the band-aid in question is not band-aid brand.

For adhesive bandages (Band-Aid etc) in india, is having a medicated pad a must or a legal requirement?

no, not really .
