I skinned and cut open my knee yesterday. I was at a place with no bandaids or ointment so I had to improvise. I washed the 1in. area with soap and water, then cut a 1 inch square from a pantyliner, covered the wound with it, and used bandage tape to adhere it.
Today (the day after the incident), I tried to remove the pad but it will not come off. I let the hot water from the shower run for 15min on it but it did nothing.
I have since soaked the bandage with a hot, oily water compress for hours, and even tried repeated attempts of rubbing alcohol soaks (abt 2Tbs) over the last hour while pulling at the same time.Even a milimeter of movement causes exteme pain to where I'm crying and shaking.
Nothing has loosened the adhesive from the pad.
What do I do? It is a dime size area. Should I just rip it off? Skin is coming with it if I do.
Pleae help.
