duoderm hydrocolloid dressing

[Susie Thompson]

I have been given Duoderm hydrocolloid dressings to use on the soles of my feet when my thick PPP skin cracks, opens and bleeds. It works beautifully. With Duoderm on my feet I can walk happily - without it it would be just impossible. Thank you Duoderm.

The problem now is with how to get Duoderm off my favourite pair of socks . The dressing 'peeled' inside my socks when I was out walking yesterday and there'd a large gunky area that I just can't shift. It's bound to happen again. Suggestions very welcome ...

Thanks for all the welcomes you've all given me. Makes me feel a lot happier and not so isolated

Ether may be worth a try. I remember when my dog had to have a bandage the vet gave me some Ether to remove it. and it worked great at getting all the sticky gunk off his fur.

Just make sure you are in a well ventilated room.
