How do I stop this sticky fluffy crap around my patch?

I started on the Evra patch yesterday, and for those of you who don’t know what it is it’s like a nicotine patch but not for nicotine and you have to wear each one for a whole week. The thing is, fluff starts to stick to the sides ‘cause the stickiness oozes out a little, then it gets nasty. Does this happen on everyone (if it doesn’t happen to you then PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU’RE DOING) and how can I remove the crap without scratching my skin to heck? Thankyouuu :)

Answer #1

Maybe rubbing some baby oil, or vitamin E oil around the patch will help either make the stuff easier to remove, or if you apply it when you first put the patch on, it may prevent it from happening.
