How many days post op are you Hun? My writing and sticky bandage residue stayed on me for a a few weeks! Obviously not being ale to have a shower for a week then even when I could I could rub or irratate my chest area for a while after! X

I would say jail polish remover but just be careful not to irratate your boobs and Newley stitched skin. X

I had pen marks on my skin for over a week! It went eventually but it took a while cos I couldnt shower and I was too sore to rub vigourously!

You sould be fine on that, that's exactly what I was on, if you do feel you need something stronger don't be afraid to ask x just remeber anything like tremodol of codeine may make you feel very sick, dizzy and maybe worse x
