usually a little Vaseline will remove the sticky just rub it on it should remove the sticky you may need to massage it a bit to get it to come off but it should not take much . If not try a small cotton swab with a bit of goo off on it ... just be very careful as this is citrus based and can also burn if the skin is sensitive ..The other stuff while correct will remove will burn like mad if you get it in to the openings of your wound . also the skin that was taped with a bandage will be tender ..
