It stings and I want to prevent infection how do I do this?
Answer: Tattoo Removal Thank you for your question in regards to tattoo removal. Blistering is not uncommon with laser tattoo removal, although icing immediately post treatment can help reduce the likelihood of a blister to form. It is also important to follow proper post-care instructions for maximum healing and minimum scarring risks. To be sure what is best for you, it is suggested to contact the provider who performed your treatment for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Answer: Blister and pain after laser tattoo removal Thanks for the photo and question. It is hard to predict what to expect at this point as I am not sure when the treatment was done. Some patients get a blister in the days following a laser treatment, but it usually resolves in a few days and does not feel terribly painful. If you are noticing increasing pain and pus, please see your physician for treatment.We always apply Bacitracin or Polysporin and a dressing for a few days after our tattoo removal treatments, so ask your dermatologist what they recommend for wound care and best of luck!

Answer: Management of a post-tattoo removal blister Blisters should be managed by your treating doctor on the next day after laser tattoo removal treatment when these usually appear in order to avoid their rupture and consecutive peeling.

Answer: Tattoo removal From your photo it would appear that the reaction that you had is expected. You do not say when the procedure was performed but, it is not unusual to have peeling and blistering for several days after the treatment. Our protocol is to use strataderm or bacitracin with a light dressing to keep the area clean. Watch for signs of infection such as increased pain, pus , redness, fever or chills. You should call your provider with your concerns. Your provider can best advise you.
