Getting tar on your skin can be a literal and proverbial pain. You might think that you can only get tar on your skin doing construction or home repair work. But you can also get tar on your skin from things such as walking on the beach. Tar is very sticky, which can make it difficult to remove from skin. In some cases, tar can burn your skin or cause other injuries that require medical attention. You can remove tar from your skin by performing first aid, icing the tar off of your skin and removing its remnants and stains from your skin.

#Peel off hardened and cracked tar. Using gentle pulling motions, peel away any cooled tar from your skin. If the tar cracks, continue peeling away little pieces until you've removed each bit. Peeling away the tar may hurt or cause you discomfort from pulling out small hairs caught in the tar. If removing the tar becomes too painful, seek medical attention to minimize the risk of damage to your skin.<ref>https://ift.tt/2T3xHUg </ref>[[Image:Remove Tar From Skin Step 6 Version 4.jpg|center]]
