Steri Strip Residue

I tried goo gone and orange furniture polish and vinegar And I still have the outline in gunk of my steri strips the stitches themselves not to mention my tubbiness and stretch marks are enough without leftover gunk. Any tips on how to get this off?

I had the goo on for quite awhile too! I found that after showering I rubbed baby oil on it and scrubbed with a wash cloth it came off after a couple days!

I used rubbing alcohol and it came right off. Be mindful not to rub it directly on your incisions.

baby oil seems to sofen it up and it eventually wears off.

A hot mess. And I'm still puzzled why they even bothered with the glue anyways.

That last post didn't work so well from the iPad...just ignore it. :)

Some drugstores sell adhesive remover. If you can't find it your doctor may have some. It comes in the little packs like the alcohol pads.

I used dial soap and rubbed in a circular motion with a face brush. It took a couple times but it works.

Try Vaseline and a wet washcloth. Always works with my kids when they take off a band-aid and half the dirt from the backyard is stuck to them!

I second the alcohol suggestion. It worked instantly for me.

My doctor recommended nail polish remover, worked like a charm! :)
