removal of patch glue from skin
« on: November 13, 2014, 12:12:35 PM »

I'm starting to collect a few glue marks on my thighs from the evorel patches, and don't know what to use to get this glue off.
I tried oil, I tried gently rubbing with a soapy cloth, no joy.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them.

thanks

Any kind of cream should do it. Rub it in and leave for a while then more cream and rub off with a tissue.

It comes off eventually  ::)

Hiya

Baby oil works really well.  Just wipe it over the mark and it is gone.

Also, don't wear black pants as it makes the mark worse.

I use baby oil, though half the time I'm not too worried. Mine are below waistline & not seen by anyone except me & hubby.

Put them on your backside, then you can't see them either!  :)

Hi :)

I don't feel bad about how they look, the reason I asked was because if my leg is covered in old patch glue, I wont be able to avoid sticking a future patch ontop of some of this glue, and that may compromise the effectiveness of the patch. )?possibly)

Hello
Haha, me too, I used to have loads of fluffy squares where my patch had been! I bought a bottle of surgical spirit and now I soak a cosmetic pad in it, and rub where the patch has been. Takes a little time, but works perfectly well. Good luck!
