Iodine

[jacobsmom 7]

Am I the only struggling to take this iodine off my skin. My surgery was 4/15 and everyday I try to take it off little by little today I couldn't take it and cleaned most of it off with alcohol and cotton balls. Also to make things worse my doctor put gauze and clear film over my dermabond I tried taking one one off to see the smallest incision and of course the gauze is stuck any suggestions guys?

I was told to just let it come off on it's own, and it did, after 3 weeks. If it looks like it is starting to get red from the adhesion, call you surgical team for advice. Don't want any infections! Good luck to you!

Thank you but I got most of it. It had a awful smell (dry iodine) and it was sticky I couldn't. As far as dermabond I'll leave that alone
