Still itchy

I'm about four weeks past treatment #4 and the itching is a bit crazy. I take an antihistamine when it gets really bad but I'm having surgery tomorrow so can't take anything tonight. I'm trying to focus my energy and attention elsewhere.

So you have any scarring? Those blisters look crazy.

No scarring so far which is quite fortunate. Lol, the blisters can get a bit crazy. Fortunately they don't hurt much, they just look terrible.

I am wondering how your healing is going. Do you have any hypo/hyper pigmentation or noticeable scarring?

2 weeks post treatment #4
hazelnut2001May 10, 2016
Here is a pic of my tatt about two weeks after treatment number 4. The shiney is just moisturiser.
The scab has fallen off and the itching has started. Man, the itching! From head to toes I get itchy all over and it lasts about three weeks. I guess it is a reaction to the ink being processed out of my body. I take antihistamines to help but it brings the intensity down from a ten to about a 7. Still major itchiness.
I know it's really important to not scratch the healing tattoo so while I let myself scratch the rest of me I take care to only massage in moisturiser or tap my ankle lightly.

Thanks for the update, some great fading! Yup, it can get really itchy, my gosh! I used to spray Bactine on mine to help with pain and itch.

Warning: this is pretty gross.

So, here are some pics of the blisters I got after my 3rd treatment. I'm putting these up so if anyone else gets such bad blistering they know they are not alone. If you do - call your treating doctor and take good care of it. If taken care of well blisters like this don't necessarily mean you will scar or that you will have to stop the removal process.

You're absolutely right, it's very important to be careful with blisters and if there is any concern one should follow up with their doctor. Here's a great FAQ that speaks to this: What is the Best Way to Care for Blisters from Tattoo Removal?

Wow that looks bad! Why does it blister so much?

It may have been event sun exposure, it may have been that the laser was turned up, it may have been not resting it enough... The possible reasons are endless. It didn't actually hurt, it just swelled and blistered badly.
Hope your surgery goes well.
