PAIN PATCH ADHESIVE REMOVAL

Cody underwent surgery March 29. Instead of giving him pain meds, they used a pain patch on his hind quarters. They shaved an area appox. 6x6 inches, on the left & right hind quarters, the pain patch was 4x4 inches with adhesive on the back. When they removed the pain patch I could feel a very slight stickiness on the 4x4 area. His hair has started to grow back in the 6x6 area, however, the 4x4 area that held the adhesive backing pain patch has gotten darker, but I don’t feel any hair growing. My concern is, his hair is growing UNDER the adhesive, but the adhesive is not allowing the hair to come through the adhesive kinda like smothering the new hair that‘s trying to grow. The adhesive needs to be removed. Does anyone know what kind of cream I can use to remove this adhesive to allow his hair to grow, I fear since the hair cannot pass through the adhesive it will grow back into his skin. A cream that is safe in case he licks that area. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
