While a person is getting a tattoo, the skin secretes a fluid that forms droplets on the surface. Now, usually particles of blood in the fluid dries on the surface and looks like the black color specifications. If left alone and does not bother or elected to be joined together with the particles and then dried to form what is known as a scab. Eventually though the skin will heal in spite of the obstacles. If this process is disturbed, then they will have to deal with the healing of an infected tattoo.

If there is minimal damage to the skin and then the speed of healing depends on the amount of moisture in the area. The three top rated healing ointments are Bacitracin Zinc Ointment A & D and Oil. Is oil in these products that produces the highest rate of healing because it makes the skin occlusive. Occlusive means neither water nor air can penetrate the skin surface. This creates the ultimate healing condition.

When a tattoo is just finished there is usually no drainage and the surface is relatively dry so that when a petroleum product is applied liquid droplets begin to appear, because the body is producing exudates. The swabs are necessary to create an environment that stimulates healing of wounds faster. An injury kept in a moist environment with exudates has a lower rate of infection than a wound is dry.

Initially it was thought that oil could cause the ink to leave the skin, but now we know that's not true. The constant application of antibacterial is not necessary to avoid infection. Antibacterial products actually interfere with the process of wound healing. Ointment application and plastic wrap for the shower or sleeping for a few days will help protect the tattoo under adverse conditions.

Sometimes, for various reasons, a tattoo is infected. If any of these symptoms occur after a tattoo, it is possible that yours is infected and who will have to heal the infected tattoo. Increased pain, swelling, redness, warmth or pain around the tattoo, red streaks extending from the area, pus from the wound, swollen or tender lymph nodes, or fever are all signs that an infection has occurred.

The infection may begin in the tattoo and the fluid is usually clear or pale yellow, leaving an infected tattoo may change to creamy yellow, brown or red or look or smell like pus. The infection can also occur inside the wound, with few obvious signs on the site. The pain and inflammation. This is a definite sign that you have to heal the infected tattoo.

The skin over a tattoo may heal while an infection is present in the wound, causing a more serious infection, such as an abscess. If your tattoo will not heal an infected person can spread infection in the bones, joints, or even become sepsis, an infection throughout the body.

You may need an antibiotic to cure the infected tattoo. The doctor may also order blood tests, depending on the circumstances in which he received the tattoo. Treating an infected tattoo kept dry at all times. Water is the greatest enemy of your tattoo as it heals.

Every experience is different from the tattoo. If this is your first tattoo or your fourth or fifth, you can have totally different results.

Each tattoo is in a different part of the body. Some areas are more sensitive or more prone to infection. Some of the things that cause infection include clothing rubbing against it causing irritation and causing land to reach it. Another thing is that during the healing process, if you pick at your tattoo crusting, which can cause infection as well. The fingers and under fingernails can be very dirty and full of bacteria. Even if you do not choose your crust, rubbing and scratching can also cause infection around.

To care for your tattoo, you should probably use an ointment and development. This is fine, but personally I found that using an unscented lotion works best. The reasoning for this is A & D ointment seals your tattoo. What I mean by that is, A & D is thick and has to use very lightly or suffocate your tattoo.

Your tattoo needs air to heal. Using an unscented lotion several times a day, will absorb right into your skin and keep hydrated crust so it does not tug on it. At the same time, allowing you to get the air it needs to heal faster. You also want to make sure to keep your tattoo sun. This is hard to do if your tattoo in the summer time to show it off. Keep out of the show until it is healed. The sun is going to shake and the sun's heat hurt themselves. In addition, your tattoo will disappear. Whether in color or black fade if exposed to sunlight.

To see if you have an infection, put your hand on your tattoo, if it feels warm or hot you have an infection. Another sign of infection is shooting pains around your tattoo. You may also experience sharp pain in his tattoo. Also, if the tattoo is of a pink or red around it, this is another sign of infection.

If you think you have an infection, do not worry it's an easy fix! Just be careful that at the first symptoms, do not wait until it's a very bad infection. To treat an infection to take a paper towel and soak it in hydrogen peroxide and squeeze out the excess. Then it was on top of your tattoo for about 5 minutes. Do this every two hours for several days until the pain subsides and pink or red color disappears. While you are treating an infection, you still want to put on unscented lotion or ointment A & D. If the tattoo is oozing or very red around or causing extreme pain, you must go to the ER or the DR. that will most likely prescribe antibiotics to help get rid of the infection.
