The present disclosure provides a method of removing a cover from a bodily surface of a subject. The method may comprise applying a cover removal device to a portion of the cover that is disposed on the bodily surface of the subject, thereby generating a connection between the cover removal device and the portion of the cover. The method may comprise moving the cover removal device across the bodily surface of the subject in order to selectively remove the cover from the bodily surface and capture the cover onto the cover removal device, without the cover removal device substantially affecting or interfering with the bodily surface of the subject.
