Right, well I've done something pretty stupid. Earlier on today I put a hardcore ultra sticky plaster on a cut and now I can't get the bloody thing off! The skin underneath is gaping and the cut is rather deep. When I try to peel it off it hurts like a b*tch. If I rip if off will I do more harm than good? I've tried soaking it for a while but it still wont budge! Haha, looks like I'm going to be stuck with this on my arm till I have to guts to take it off. Fetching

Let air to the cut over night and as long as you can. You should reallu only use plaster if you have to. Cuts heal much faster without them.
Wetting it might help, depending on whether it's a waterproof or fabric plaster. Baby oil or vaseline might loosen it a little at the edges and give you a helping hand, alternatively
