How to get rid of HRT patch glue remnants on skin?

[Lostatsea2025]

I started HRT 3 weeks ago and change my patch twice weekly. When I remove it, it leaves a mark around the skin (seems to be tiny bits of fluff from my underwear mixed with the glue). Has anyone found a good way to get rid of these without scrubbing the top however many layers of skin away!? Thanks

You may think this awful but I just leave it. It’s not on an area anyone but me and DH see so who cares. I ended up with sore skin when I tried to remove it despite using the things mentioned here.

I’ve heard that eye make up remover works.

Stoma care spray, it cost about a tenner from the chemist or Amazon but each spray lasts about six months.
It's a game changer

Thank god! I thought it was just me!

If you put the patch on an oily bit of skin, will it stick?

I use baby oil and swap sides each time I put a patch on so avoid sticking the new one on to an oily bit.

You're supposed to swap sides with the patch anyway.

Found these after trying oils, sprays etc and they work very well for me.

Rub it with the old patch, I read that on here and it works great
