How do you get medical tape off???
i had surgery on my arm and had stitches out a week ago that is when they put these tape strips to hold the incision together. they said it would fall of in a week but they are still stuck on pretty good. i tried pullin one off but it is very painfuland it leaves a sticky residue behind. any suggestions would be great thanks
Answers:
These are steri-strips. they are on there securely for a reason. Sometimes it takes up to 2 weeks to fall off. this is to protect your wound while it heals from the inside. Taking them off prematurely may cause an infections
