Plaster stuck to wound

Can anyone help? Last night I did a bit of a number on my finger cutting onions which was bleeding pretty badly but I managed to stop the bleeding with a few plasters. Fast forward to today and I have tried to remove said plasters to clean and inspect the wound and they are fully attached! I have tried to soak it off in warm water for about 20 mins to no avail. It’s extremely painful if I even try to pull it up the smallest bit so I have admitted defeat for now and covered it back up. Does anyone have any other tricks to remove a fused on plaster other than seeking medical help. I hate wasting NHS time so would rather try it myself first. Thank you in advance!

Try rubbing in vasline? I saw that as a lifehack on Instagram. No idea if it works or not. As it lifts keep rubbing in vasline underneath
