The rash is back with a vengeance
The rash on my arm improved since I last posted photos on the 12th of June, though it never completely went away. Last night I put tepezcohuite on it because it was a bit itchy, and it just went crazy overnight. It's now very inflamed, scaly and angry-looking. Hurts like hell, and it was oozing pus all day today, really gross. It's mainly concentrated around the tattoo on my arm, though it's also on the back of my neck and my hands. I got some Piriteze (cetrizine hydrochloride) tablets, hydrocortisone cream (1%) and Dermalex Repair Cream for irritated skin. Hopefully these things will help. Has anyone else experienced allergic reactions after PicoSure?

Allergic reaction
A few days after my most recent treatment, I developed an itchy rash on my arm. I used hydrocortisone and over-the-counter antihistamines for a short while, then stopped. Now the rash has got much worse. My arm is itchy, sore and inflamed. I did some research and it turns out this is a relatively common reaction, since tattoo inks are unregulated and could potentially contain substances such as mercury. I'm planning to take longer breaks between treatment on my arm - 4 months instead of 2 - to give my body a chance to recover.

Edita at Trueskin Medispa
Edita is great. She works really fast, makes every effort to make her clients feel comfortable, is honest and friendly, and seems like a really nice person. The Esher branch of Trueskin is very nice; they've put a lot of effort into creating a beautiful, stress-free environment and making people feel like valued customers. They do a lot of packages and special offers, which means you can get treatments at a reasonably affordable rate.
