sorry for the delay! New photo 2 months post
my foot has healed and the numbing feeling/loss of sensation and feeling on the couple of my toes has gone
The scar has become a bit better but is still red and raised on one part (top part) you can see in the photo the red rasied bit and the part that scared alot better.
the photo I have put up is from april so it is 2 months after the procedure
in the photo you will see the blue parts he left behind to do later because there was not enough skin on my foot to do it all in one go. I can get the rest taken out now but have not yet got around to it as I have moved and will travel to him. Hopefully I will get that done soon and see what he says in the follow up
I am happy so far with how it is going. Of course there is a little bit left and I want it removed but it is an improvement so far and people don't notice it as much as a big blue tattoo.

Foot tattoo ended up being cut out
So as I said earlier I had so much trouble with the blue ink fading. Everything else did but the blue part so I had it cut out. Because there is such little stretch/ extra skin on my foot the surgeon couldn't quite get all of it out at once. The little bit he left behind will be cut out once the scar is healed. It already looks better.
Half of the scar is very faint already and they other half has three raised red lumps I'm not sure what they are but I will ask when I next see him for my follow up. I think they may be dissolving stitches I'm not too sure. There was a white thread that came out of one! I tried to pull on it to see if it would pull out but it wouldn't. I left it and after a couple if days the thread fell off and the thread inside must have dissolved??
Because of it being on my foot I was off my feet for quite some time. I thought the recover would be a lot more breezy than it was as I thought it was just the skin being cut. But the surgeon wanted me to keep my foot above my heart for two weeks! This is due to swelling. It was so tight already he didn't want it to swell or any complications to happen. It was quite funny actually because my foot looked super skinny because of all the skin pulled tight, like a foot tuck haha. It went back to normal size quickly
One thing to add which is weird is my second to last pinky toe feels numb. I can still move it and evening but it feels like there is a local anesthetic and I can't feel any sensation of the skin.
I told my surgeon about is and he said it should comes back. It's not worrying at all as Its not like a use my toe for much haha
Obviously I had local anesthetic on the day of surgery but I felt no pain whatsoever during the whole recover. Pain =0
The only thing I could feel would be some welling in my foot if I stood to long. I was also given crutches. No pain relief as I didn't need it
Stitches were taken out two weeks after, no pain or problems there. Kept covered to keep clean.
Does anyone have any good recommendations of creams for scarring?
