Sticky dressing

i had my lumpectomy on Wednesday and all is well. I was told to remove the top dressings with the sticky waterproof covering today which I did. But it has left a sticky layer which is under my arm and is uncomfortable. Any tips on getting rid of the stickyness?

    I have frequently used nail varnish remover, but not near a recent wound!

    I would try moisturiser, moo goo or whatever natural product you have. That should help you to be able to pull the sticky off.
