Hi ladies,
I'm trying to figure out an easy way to remove the adhesive residue left on the skin from the estradiol transdermal patches.

So far I've tried soap and water, alcohol, and scrubbing with an exfoliating sponge.
I typically end up with the residue staying on my skin for a week or more, rather than having a big raw patch on my tummy.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I've had pretty good results using a little baby oil or eye makeup remover.  I then clean up the area with rubbing alcohol on a tissue, so there's no oil to get under the next patch when it goes on a different but nearby location.

The patches I am using use a mix of silicone and acrylic adhesives (and a dash of estradiol), some pretty tough stuff.
Earth my body, water my blood, air my breath and fire my spirit.

My personal transition path included medical changes.  The path others take may require no medical intervention, or different care.  We each find our own path. I provide these dates for the curious.
Electrolysis - Hours in The Chair: 238 (8.5 were preparing for GCS, five clearings); On estradiol patch June 2016; Full-time Oct 22, 2016; GCS Oct 20, 2017; FFS Aug 28, 2018; Stage 2 labiaplasty revision and BA Feb 26, 2019

That seems far too easy a fix. Thanks!
