Removing a dressing?

I fell of a horse yesterday and skinned my ankle. I have a gauze pad and a bandage on the wound, however the wound has been weeping and now the gauze pad is stuck to my ankle and I can't pull it off without ripping half the skin off. How do I remove it?

Comments

  • try taking it off in warm water it is how i take of bandaids when the are sticking to my hair

  • Use a chemical called Hydrogen peroxyde it is a chemical that you put over gause and you should be able to pull it off gently but allways pour some every wrap around

  • get in a bath tube full of clean warm water and try and take it off

  • pour warm water over it then remove it

  • Go to your doctor/GP or A & E (accident and emergencie - in hospital) and ask him/her to or get advice.

  • Ouch...Try putting it under warm water...???
