I Just Don't Get It

Pardon me while I confess confusion here.

The medical field has come a long way... an extremely long way.

Doctors can cure cancer, mend broken bones, fix an ingrown toe nail, whatever. Doctors are amazing people.

So I must ask, why the hell can't they use a tape that doesn't leave your skin covered in icky black, sticky ickiness.

My arms are disgusting from that damn tape.

I've scrubbed the marks with alcohol, a rough washcloth, my nails... and nothing helps.

The blackness plagues me.

And all I can do is wait for it to evaporate one day way down the way.

Have you tried baby oil (or really...an oil)? Even peanut butter is good for removing sticker residue :-)

Oh that baby oil idea is good!
