Bandages

[jans]

Hi - looking for advice please. My boy had surgery on his leg over 2 weeks ago, and the bandages removed after 3 days. There is some sticky bits still stuck to the skin on his feet. I would have thought they's have just come off over time, but it's almost like glue holding bits of bandage to his foot.

I can't peel off so wondered if there is something I can put on his leg to disolve the sticky stuff so that I can peel of the little bits of bandage.

Any ideas??

Eucalyptus removes sticky residue and there is also a product called something like 'goo-off' but you would need to check hwo safe these options were.

I wouldn't use Eucalyptus on skin, it could burn or at least create an irritation.

Have you tried warm soapy water?

Good old fashioned baby oil works on most bandage (and tape) adhesives.

Maybe the stuff you use to get rid of excess wax after waxing might do the job. You can get bottles of it at places like Hairhouse Wharehouse.

get a fresh strip of bandage tape and place it over the stick spot. pull up gently. as you would with say.. blu tack.
