How to clean the medicated tape stuck to the skin

Adhesive tape is widely used in hospitals. It is used to fix the needle during intravenous drips. Sometimes people will find traces on the tape after removing it. It is not so easy to clean it completely. It requires the right method. The adhesive tape has good viscosity, so it sticks firmly to the skin. If you rub it hard, it may take a long time to wipe it clean. Now let us learn how to clean the medical tape stuck to the skin.

The first method is to pour a little alcohol on a rag or paper towel, and wipe the area where the tape marks are. The marks can be wiped off quickly. If there is no alcohol, you can use a stronger white wine or something like that.

The second method is to soak the rag in hot water for a while, then take out the rag and cover the area with the tape marks. Wait for a while before wiping it again, and it will be easy to wipe clean.

The third method, which is the most thorough, is to use acetone to remove traces of tape. When using acetone at night, be careful to only use a very small amount. Drop some on the mark, and it will be wiped off quickly, and it will be wiped more cleanly than other methods.

The fourth method is to use an eraser to remove the tape marks, but this method is very tiring and requires a longer time or more force to wipe it clean.

The fifth method, which is more expensive, involves using skin cream to remove traces of the tape. If the tape marks are large, do not use this method. Generally speaking, this method is used to wipe off some remnants of tape marks.

Before running, you should apply medical tape to avoid blisters on your feet. To prevent blisters, the choice of running shoes and socks is very important. Running shoes must fit your feet well. Shoes that are too big or too small will increase the friction between the foot and the shoe. Also, don’t choose cotton socks or nylon socks that are too thick. The friction coefficients of both are not small. The former cannot wick away sweat, which can easily cause the foot temperature to be too high, which is also one of the reasons for blisters.

If blisters often appear in a certain part of the body, you can apply some Vaseline or talcum powder on that part in advance. If the area is on the sole of the foot, in addition to applying talcum powder, you can also increase the thickness of the insole.

If the blister has already appeared, you can pop it. Because the skin of the blister is already dead, it won't hurt much. Use a sterilized needle to prick it and make a small cut to let the liquid flow out. If conditions permit, you can apply some iodine. If not, just put on a Band-Aid. After two days, the dead skin will be peeled off and the work of eliminating blisters will be completed.
