Tape gunk on my arm!!?!
Question: Tape gunk on my arm!!?
Okay. I just had surgery done and i had an IV taped to my arm for three days. It was taped down in a couple spots. I'm home now. When they took the tape off, it left behind some gunk. I can't scratch it off and i've tried make-up remover. I have somewhere to go tonight and i cant get it off! Any suggestions?
Please and thanks!!!!

That glue can be removed with rubbing alcohol or fingernail polish remover if you can tolerate it. If you have a little time use a little Vaseline, It well take a little longer but well work 100% of the time and is well tolerated.
Try fingernail polish remover, then wash area and put on lotion. good luck
try nail polish remover or that goo-be-gone stuff! rubbing alcohol works well too. good luck!
Vegetable oil, the type you cook with, will work. It takes a bit longer, but most people have it around the house.
Rubbing alcohol
nail polish remover on cotton-wool works best for this. A bit of rubbing and scrubbing is necessary but it does come off.
