You know the gooey stuff that's left behind after your steri-strips come off? That stuff that won't come off without, say, nail polish remover (as was actually recommended to me)....
Well, last night I put neosporin on my incisions and rubbed it all over. Went to bed, and this morning, when I went to put more neosporin on, the gooey stuff wiped right off. I think the petroleum jelly in the neosporin softened the glue overnight so that it came right off! :wink2: I think that's a much better way to get the adhesive off than putting nail polish remover on your skin!
HTH!
