Steri Strip Residue



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
