Sticky marks from patches

Not strictly a symptom, but I'm having real difficulty in removing the sticky marks left when I take off the patches. I scrub and scrub and they still won't come off - even with a fingernail! Has anyone else had this, and any tips for getting rid off them?

Thanks

Jen

What about a dab of nail polish remover? Wash off well & moisturize after ;)

I've used loads of patches before...you need to rub the sticky patch marks with soap...leave for a few minutes (wash the rest of yourself LOL!) then using your fingernail scratch off the mark....comes off easier with soap.
