Use water...it may hurt a bit but it shouldn't rip off anything important.

ok..you are going to have to get some warm water
put a bit of peroxide[ 1 cap]
soak the gauze hand in the water for a while
the scab will come off..sorry!
from now on though use the new bandaids and don't put it on so tight just leave enough space to lift it and let wound get some air...till a scab forms keep covered till healed

If water doesn't work, use baby oil. Just pour on the gauze and wait for it to soak into the adhesive or to losen from the scab...plus, it smells nice

run warm water over it. it will soften the scab or wash a way the dry blood leaving the gauz unstuck!! never rip it off because it will open back up.

I would suggest you soak it in peroxide, since you don't want to get it infected. And then, if you don't want to use band aid any time soon, you can try putting some honey on it. Honey keeps bacteria away (you can do some search on this to be sure) I saw it on discovery health channel.
Take Care.

Well it's gonna hurt anyway, you might want to wet it so it slides off easier, but the best way is to just rip it off and get the pain over with.

Cut it with bandage scissors or regular, small scissors in the middle then rip it off in two parts, pulling away from the sore.

soak in warm water then it'll just fall off. It's also good cuz it'll clean it while soaking.
