How do I remove the sticky glue from my breast incisions without scrubbing them?

September 18, 2016
Asked By:Prashani82 in Australia, AU

Very trivial question but I accidentally went into the shower with non waterproof tape over my breasts (2weeks post op from breast reduction) and now I have a huge amount of glue left over my incisions which is now sticking to my compression bra! How do I remove the sticky glue from my breasts without scrubbing them?! Ouch. Thank you.
