TAPE

It has been over two weeks since my surgery and I still have tape marks/film on my body I cannot get off no matter how much I scrub or pick off. Any suggestions?

Go to a pharmacy and get adhedsive remover. If they do not have it call your doctor or local medical supply store.

This may sound crazy, but...Dawn dish soap? I only say that because it is gentle but effective.

what about baby oil and a cotton swab to scrub.

I tried baby oil, almond oil, alcohol, even Peanut Butter (I used that to get gum out of my kids hair when they were little).

Out of desperation at week three, I got some Goo Gone from my boyfriend's workshop and used that.....perfect.

I left mine on too long and got terrible rashes where the tape was :( I don't know why I didn't take them off sooner, lol.
