I recently got a tattoo, and for some reason it got infected. not sure if i'm rejecting it or if i got bit by something at a park and it spread or what. it's on my ankle and i managed to stop the spreading so it only has half of the tattoo. From my tat down my leg and ankle are swollen. I dont know if i should use sea salt, compresses or everything....
If anyone has any ideas or been through this before please give your input. thanks much!
What to do for a skin infection?
if you have that much pain, redness and swelling warm compresses will help but you need to be on antibiotics too
Reply:scratch it till it bleeds and then stick a needle in it and leave it there for 2.5 min (150 sec.)
Reply:Ahhhh, yeah.....You need to go to the doc. Skin infections do not go away with herbal remedies. You need an antibiotic.
Reply:definately go back to the tattoo place and ask them what they think.. thats your safest bet. dont play guessing games with things like this because it could turn badddd if you wait to long it happened to one of my friends. trust me, go back there and show them and ask professional advice.
Reply:You should go see a doctor as I have heard that you can get serious infections turning to gangrene by some tattoo inks. You might lose the tattoo but better that than your leg
Reply:You require systemic and topical antibiotics. See a Dermatologist without any delay.
