What's a skin adhesive? superglu?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid: Avoid using superglue to adhere anything to skin, as it can cause an irritant dermatitis as well as cause erosioms when removed. It is better to use organic or water based products that can be easily washed off after the adhesive has served its purpose.
