omg day 7 and am going nuts at home.. have a question hoping some of you can help with
Okay so I had to lance my blisters cause they were bad.. was told to by place I am having treatments by.. I was keeping them covered for the last two days and all though this is great it is keeping the skin of the blisters from drying up.. so this moring I said f it to the non stick pads.. do you guys this this is okay?? my chest I didn't cover at all and all blisters have dried up and are scabby now.. yet my side is still all mushy.. how many days do you think it will take now that I uncovered it.. only thing covering it is my shirt and blanket till it dries up?? I refuse to go back to a germ infested gym to lift weights and walk untill these suckers are dry
day 5 and not getting better. .blisters on whole thing. .need some help
Ok.. so I had this done Wed and it is now Sunday.. as much as I wanted to go back to daily activity I have not been able to.. Moving around hurts so much.. sitting ouch ouch ouch.. and sleeping sucks. I can't do much cause seems like my pain is into my bones. so my tat is all blistered the entire thing.. big ones and if not big all little ones on all the black line work etc. Like I mentioned the pico was used for the entire thing. The one's that popped are still oozing yellow.. and it gets crusty but I am assuming that is the ooz drying up.. the tat is very dry but I am not putting moisturizer on it as instructed.. last night I put a little bacetracin in the open wound and that helped(although apparently not suppose to use anything but leaving it dry covered(.. not so pick looking.. when I wake I take off gauze to let breath for an hour or two.. i only have gauze on the lotus part since that is what is open.. these are really painful and did not last as long last time with my chest.. how long will this take to all go away and finally scab over. I am keeping dry.. washing once in the morning and once at night with dial antibacterial and changing dressing as needed.. I will attach a pic as I am quite worried about this one.
I have definitely decided to leave my hip completely alone.. maybe just remove dots.. the black doesn't look faded at all.. I am assuming I will have to touch up the color in the flower cause the purple has been hit good and is there in some and not in others.. as much as I want my chest tat gone I was unsure of my hip(lesson don't do anything unless you are positive lol) I already can't wait till my next chest appt.. but no no no on the hip. Please tell me this is going to go away and what you see is normal, and what the time frame may be..this is definitely hurting.. and aching inside my body(on the side where it was done)even into my thigh..

wondering if blasting my hip was the right decision
man I have to stop being impulsive lol.. so I am beyond excited about the removal on my chest yeah healing sucks, but I am no longer upset that it is there and happy to be in the process of making it go away :) I don't even really think about it anymore until I get a treatment and have to care for it during the healing process.. when I was there for my chest I was wondering if i should do the one on my hip.. I was very indecisive .. heck I was thinking about it for the 6 weeks between my chest treatments and honestly the 3 mos before that when I was waiting to get my first chest treatment.. well with all said I done I was still unsure.. new I wasn't 100% pleased with it and said do it. at the same time in is on my side and unless in a bathing suit I decided what the hell.. well now i am worried it might not go away 100% or if I stop it will look like a blotchy mess and not as sharp as the others.. I kinda regret starting it and wish I would have left it alone.. I keep thinking about it and wondering if I would have regretted not doing it....I was definitely not 100% about it like I was my chest.. and I am not happy about the healing process of it either.. especially the one I tore open and it exposed and can do nothing but leave it dry and covered.. this anxiety is definitely not good for my fading on my chest for sure.. I am also so uncomfortable with both during the healing that I can't sleep.. how bad will my side piece look after first fading.. will it be noticible that I started treatment... I mean my chest is having such amazing progress.. really wish I left it alone.. wasn't happy but also was not in a spot that bothered me completely like my chest... oh also the other two blisters that popped that still have skin on it I keep pushing out with the non stick bandages to squeeze out the filling cause it keeps filling back up.. I didn't have this issue with my chest last time the blisters just reoborbed. also did you all wait to go back to normal activity till blisters were gone
