How to Remove Mole Foam Padding

Molefoam or moleskin padding is a product by Dr. Scholl's. It is made of extra-soft cotton flannel padding that is self-adhering latex. It can be cut to any size to fit sore spots, calluses or corns on either foot. It can be worn discreetly under any type of hosiery and will not rip stockings, knee-highs or pantyhose. Moleskin padding also helps prevent blisters when wearing new shoes or walking a long distance on a rocky road. Does this Spark an idea?

Take a warm shower using a gentle liquid body soap. Make sure to rinse all the soap off your body thoroughly.

Dry yourself with a soft, absorbent towel. Pay particular attention to the foot or the area where you have the moleskin padding attached.

Fill a bucket with warm water. Add about five drops of baby oil or your favorite foot-bath soak to the water.

Soak the foot with the padding in the warm water for 10 to 15 minutes. If the water is too hot, add some cool water to make the water warm to the touch.

Bring the foot that has the padding out of the water. Dry it thoroughly with an absorbent towel. Try to loosen an edge of the padding with your finger. If it does not come up easily, stop pulling.

Moisten a cotton ball with alcohol. Soak it fairly well. Dab the cotton ball all the way around the edges of the padding. Leave the alcohol sit for a minute or two.

Lift one corner of the padding gently. It should lift easily. Pull it back gently. Throw the padding in a trash bin. Allow the foot to air overnight before reapplying a new pad.

Warning

- Never place the adhesive of the pad over an open wound or blister.
