The other issues are there still, but this might help people  
struggling to remove Tegaderm. It can be removed pretty much  
painlessly if you anchor it with one finger and stretch the tegaderm  
parallel to the skin, pulling in the opposite direction you would  
pull if you were yanking off a bandaid. Stretching it seems to  
"break" the adhesive and it lifts right off.
