Hey everyone, My girlfriend recently had to have some surgery on her foot and the nurse who bandaged her up put on a guaze that apparently sticks to the wound...Shes tried soaking it in hot water and it still wont budge. She wants to try to take it off before tomorrow where the nurse will probably just rip it off...Any tips as to how to get this gauze pad to fall off...Thanks for the help guys! | |

If not, then 1/2 stregnth hydrogen peroxide, which shouldn't really burn much if at all. | |
