We'll I got this tattoo about 5years ago. I liked it for a while and then I really started having second thoughts. I decided to get it removed and I found the picosure article on google . After researching it I figured it was probably the best decision for me. I started the removal process yesterday and have some swelling and a few blisters but nothing massive. I am not In any pain actually it feels like I want to itch it more than anything.. I slightly rub over the bandage to get rid of the itching sensation I'm having..I am hoping the orange comes out but the doctor was upfront with me about yellow being vet difficult but I'm keeping my fingers crossed ! Treatment hurt a tiny bit and I am a baby to pain so I read all these painful posts it's kinda scary.. It's like getting a tattoo just faster! My doctor freezes the foot with cool air and then does the removal which worked great! No pain today and this only day 2!

The doctor is professional and goes over everything in detail. They are realistic and upfront with the results you may or may not get after your treatments. I felt that someone telling me that yellow may not be removed completely is better than someone saying it can be removed 100% which gave me confidence and trust in the doctor. I am hoping I have great results!

So I woke up this morning with a massive blister on my foot. I'm not in any pain but the blister obviously is a tender area. I have been waiting for this thing to pop but so far it just seems to be getting bigger which is concerning because I can not go barefoot to work... But I am hoping it will be gone soon.

That's a big blister! My arm is covered in them at the moment so I know how you feel. One of them got so big that I had no choice but to pop it because it became really painful. I'm dabbing bio-oil on my blisters with cotton wool to try and heal them quicker. It's a tough thing to go through but you can do it. :-)

Yeah it hurts! That's the only thing though. Doctor says not to pop it but I'm so tempted to relieve this pressure on my foot!

Doctors aren't always right. It's on your foot as well, a part of your body you use a lot! If it's giving you too much grief then you shouldn't have to be stuck with it. If you do pop it, don't remove the skin around it and be sure to put a bandage over it. Your call though. :-)

I actually popped it the other night and it's back today! I just popped it again and put a lot of ointment to keep it moist.. Let's hop it doesn't come back tomorrow!:)

So today day 6 after the laser treatment . My foot is still a little tender and the blister is slowly going away but it's red underneath it and it's concerning me a little . But do far so good and the treatment actually took a lot I mean a lot of ink out. I am really surprised at this point that I can see such a difference. Gives me hope it will be removed maybe quicker than expected!

It's difficult to tell whether it's normal or not due to the colour of it! It looks like an infected colour but it's been that way since you first had it. I had my last session seven days ago and mine are now just scabs. Not sure if it takes longer to heal on your foot perhaps? See your doctor if you have any worries. :-)

I am hoping it's just raw skin . I've kept it moist and well covered for this entire week. That is the most sensitive area of my foot. I'll update as it starts to disappear or any changes...
