Patch residue? How to remove?

I have been using Evorel for a few months now, all great. The only thing I'm finding is I get a residue where the patch has been, just around the edges, probably where it had rubbed on clothes? Someone recommended baby oil, but that didn't work. I tried some shower oil (the posh l'occitane one, thank you Christmas) bit it didn't work. Any recommendations of how to remove it? My skin isn't super sensitive, but it is slightly sensitive, so I don't want to scrub at it.

Alcohol, petroleum jelly, wd40, sticky stuff remover?
Not sure what's best

Would ice remove the sticky bits??

I do it in the bath, shower doesn't work the same as it needs to soak in hot water. I just rub soap on it after about q0 minutes in there and scratch it off with my fingernail. If anyone knows of a better way to do it let me know !

I give it a day then dry rub it and pick off the rest. Simply haven’t found anything else that works!

I used this stuff https://nudispray.com/

Estradot residue comes off dead easy with it. Evorel needed a second spray but it still works a treat.

I've only ever used baby oil. Generous squirt on a cotton pad, leave it to soak into the stickiness for 30 seconds and it comes away easily.

I use the same technique to get rid of the wax residue after getting my legs etc waxed.

How are you using it op?

Pissing myself laughing at using WD40!

I tried baby oil by just rubbing it in and hoping it would shift it, but no luck. Thank you for the suggestions, I will give them a go!

I just rub with fingertip them scrape off with my nail. Goes red for a bit but that fades quite quickly.

Try medical adhesive remover spray - you can buy it on Amazon. You can also get it as wipes.
