What will remove wet ace bandage gluey gunk from skin

[creekwater23]

I'm a 62-year-old male. I wrapped my wrist for one night in an elastic self-adhering Ace bandage I ran cool water over it to keep it cool and slept with it on. The next day I went to the bathroom and removed the Ace bandage and washed the area where it had been applied with soap and water. While at the sink I rinsed the washrag and re-amped it with more of the same soap and did a quick pan-bath." I was in a hurry to go pick up my brace for my wrist from my pharmacist " I washed my face first, then my arm-pits, then my privates below. This adhesive gunk garbage in that elastic Ace bandage  that somehow transferred itself everywhere I went with the rag from my arm all over me. IT WILL NOT COME OFF !!!!!!!    I have been fighting this for 2 months now. Ive been to the doctor twice,a dermatologist who told me it would take a scientist to figure out how to dissolve this impossible garbage its made from. Ive tried all conventional methods baby oil, goo gone uni wipes and several soaps,dawn dish liquid, etc.Ive researched everything I can find on the internet. I contacted the company that manufactured the bandage. They recommended  mineral oil . NOTHING WORKS  it wont budge.Its like Ive been shrinked wrapped wherever that garbage got on me from that washclothe during that pan bath !!!!!  Im Desperate any of you guys and gals  know of anything that may help me get this off of me Im listening.Please Help.... Signed... Mr Miserable !!!!!

Hi - our forums are intended for peer-to-peer support for medical issues, and we aren't able to offer household cleaning advice.  Best of luck.

Alcohol usually removes sticky goo.  If not, there are commercial products such as "Goo Gone," but you have to be careful with those because they can remove paint or scratch surfaces.  As Paxiled says, it will probably eventually come off by itself, or by using very common household cleaners.

I think we've all had this happen even with BandAids.  Plain water usually works, but I've never thought to soak a bandage with water and sleep on it, which wouldn't just help it come off because, well, plain water interferes with the adhesive, which is what that garbage left over is, some of the stuff they use for the adhesive.  I've had this problem for a few days, but it eventually comes off, or you can usually just peel it off.  Don't know any magic formula, but I would think using oils would just make it worse, as oil is sticky, too.
