Horrible Deep Wounds from Laser Tattoo Removal ... I Am Scared...- Greece, GR
ORIGINAL POST
Its been a month since i get my laser tattoo...
its been a month since i get my laser tattoo removal treatment for 1st time and still my foot looks like this you see in the photo... is that kind of normal??? Have anyone that type of wounds from laser tattoo removal ever again???? this is my foot tattoo and i have another one getting removed on my shoulder but this is not so horrible as the one on my foot... My doctor just says that my scene is super sensitive but i really dont think this is normal...
UPDATED FROM Arkana
ginger fault????
so my doctor said that this is a normal wound for laser tattoo removal as it comes to the depth and that its just infected... when i said that is not a normal depth wound (almost 1cm maybe more) my doctor said that is that deep because i am a natural ginger having really white and really sensitive skin and the laser actually did an almost 3rd degree burn on my skin. and so that is natural huh? so if i remove my sleeve tattoo for example my arm will not having any skin on it for months and thats normal because.... i am ginger? this is [RS bleep] doesnt sound right to me....

That doesn't make any sense...fair skinned people are the best candidates for tattoo removal. I would never go back if I were you!
UPDATED FROM Arkana
misunderstood about the treatment
guys wait a second to set the record straight. i am on treatment. there was no way to siting on my laptop with such wounds making posts without having a doctor check first. but its my fault because i didnt say the hole story. well from the day i get my laser treatment i using fucicort and bepanthol cream on them twice the day and i was cleaning the wounds with eosine (antiseptic fluid) but the wound on my foot is SOOO HORRIBLY DEEP that non of this help. but i was going once a week to the dermatologist who done to me the laser treatments and he check on me. when my foot start to swollen he gave mesulid and augmentin antibiotics but i am allergic to amoxicillin so i end up takin claripen antibiotics. the wound on my foot is not so scary as it looks most of the yellow and all the on it is the stuff i am putting on it to keep it clean. what scare's me is that the wound is horribly deep... excuse me for my horrible english i am from greece =]

Your english is very good. It sounds like you're doing everything you can. If I were you, I would not get any more laser treatments. Maybe you can wait until that new picosure technology gets to Europe? It's good that you posted on here because natural red heads should know has happened to you. There are reviews on here about other removal methods besides lasers. Hopefully you can find something that works for you. Good luck!

to be honest i am not so sure about the ginger think... i am kind of thinking that this is result of dermatologist epic fail...

Please continue to update us on how this is healing. I'm glad you are under the care of a dermatologist, because like all the rest, this looks pretty scary to me.

I agree and would not get more laser treatments, especially from the same laser center you were going to. I have sensitive skin as well, i'm not a natural ginger though. My arm tattoo took a long time to heal and there were deeper wounds because blisters had popped before they were ready. I believe there will be significant scars on your foot, because there are ones on my arm.

On the plus side, so little of your skin is left that there can't be much tattoo left either. Lol.. obviously it's horrible that this has happened to you, and it never should have and your doctor should be held responsible, but the scar will fade to nothing much faster than a tattoo will.

Hi dear! I just saw your review. I'm a natural ginger with freckles, pale skin. I don't believe what you've experienced is normal at all. I've never looked like that after any session. My heart breaks for you because that looks incredibly painful and infected. I would definitely not go back to that place. I would definitely see someone who specializes in skin. I will be thinking of you. Good luck getting your foot back to health!

i am white like porcelain and i have so sensitive skin that i even have sun allergy =/ but i also think that this is not natural and not because of my white sensitive skin =[ thank you a lot! *ginger born or not* ;]

Oh man! I'm so sorry. Best thing you can do now is prolly try to prevent scarring & don't go back to that place. It won't necessarly scar if ypu avoid picking at it and keep it out of the sun. :( plz keep us updated on this. My healing prayers go out to u .
