Safe - tape glue removal?
hi, i bought some cheap medical tape and it leaves quite the gummy residue. im wondering what would be a good way to clean it off.. soap and water dont seem to help, rubbing alcohol doesn't seem to help much.. i have plenty of solvents in the garage that would take it off, but im pretty sure those aren't safe on skin, especially around wounds.
any ideas?
thanks,
-brian

soap and water or saline (spell) solution are probably the safest things reallly

I've never tried saline but if it works, it should be safe. Soap and water may be best.

Reason: with item removed, the final part didn't make sense and wasn't relevant so that was removed also

Soap and water is always the best solution. I doubt you would have much look with saline as it is basically a salt water.
I will have a think and see if I can think of anything else. However, I would warn against using any chemicals due to the risk of them irratating your wound.
Take care

If it was unbroken skin i would suggest acetone, however, you shouldn't use any chemicals around open wounds.
You may try looking at the store for an ALL NATURAL citrus cleaner, generally found in the organic/natural sections of stores. Citrus is very good for cleaning, but again make sure there are no chemicals in it that could contaminate the wound.

Well it breaks my heart to see you this way,
The beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me you were doing okay,
Somehow I guess they were wrong.

Sugar water might also prove useful. Just put a cuople of spoons of sugar in with some warm soapy water. From what I remember the sugar can help dissolve the residue left.
Take care
