Can salicylic acid fade my permanent makeup that I got on my eyebrows?

December 6, 2014
Asked By:Mariethacamacho in Silver Spring, MD

So I recently got a eyebrow tattoo that will only last 2 years . I'm so happy with it but I happen to have bad eczema under my eyebrows it gets with scales so today I put my eczema cream without realizing it had salicylic acid !!!!! I left it there for 20 minutes TOP and as soon as I read it could fade my tattoo I whipped it all off . Could this fade my tattoo if I only left it for a small amount of time? Please help me
