I believe rubbing alcohol works.

I believe rubbing alcohol works.

It's the only thing that I found that worked!

At your local pharmacy (CVS etc) there is a spray that is used to remove bandage residue. It's medically stable (so safe around wounds) and won't sting or dry out your skin like rubbing alcohol will. I can't remember the name but we used it constantly on our baby when he had a feeding tube. It never damaged his tender skin. I always have some around...it's great on price tags

Peanut Butter works as well but I wouldn't use it near a wound.

Rub, rub, rub with rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball or cosmetic pad.

Just got mine off tonight with nail polish remover (dr told me to)- worked great but stunk up the bathroom! :-)

Sometimes baby oil will do it too but rubbing alcohol does seem to work best.

any kind of oil, or vaseline... haven't tried alcohol

I second the oil suggestion--I've used castor oil.

My doctor gave me some packages of adhesive remover, especially for medical tape. It worked perfectly... but you know, I still have dry skin where all that adhesive was. It's weird. LOL

I used goof off, the same stuff that you use to take stickers off of stuff. They make a type that smell like orange and it worked great. sprayed a little into a washcloth in the shower and it cleaned up every spot really nicely.
