What to do if the tattoo cannot be washed cleanly

Nowadays, many people have a good impression of tattoos. They always tattoo some of their favorite patterns on some part of the body. Especially in the summer, the exposed tattoos are also a kind of scenery. However, many people want to wash off their tattoos for some reasons after a certain period of time. Often at this time, the tattoo cannot be washed cleanly, so some methods are needed to solve this problem.

What to do if the tattoo cannot be washed clean

Method 1: Laser cleaning

Black and white tattoos are easier to clean, but colored tattoos are more difficult to clean. They usually need to be cleaned with laser, and they cannot be cleaned in the first time. Usually they need to be cleaned about three or four times.

Method 2: Surgery can be performed for cleaning

If laser surgery cannot be removed quickly, you can consider surgical removal. Surgical tattoo removal is usually suitable for deeper tattoo patterns. Surgical tattoo removal usually refers to surgical excision, but this method has a disadvantage, which is that it is easy to leave scars.

Method 3: Use Chinese medicine to clear

You can go to a Chinese medicine hospital to get some Chinese medicine to lighten scars and eliminate toxins. This method is slower and more effective, but the Chinese medicine needs to be safe and reliable. It should not be used in large quantities, because if the skin is disturbed for a long time, the skin's repair ability will deteriorate, leaving scars on the face.

Method 4: Cover the old tattoo with a new tattoo

If you want to remove the old tattoo and get a new one, you can directly tattoo the new one on the old one to cover the tattoo. This method is also suitable for friends who have tried many methods but still can't get the tattoo removed.

What should I pay attention to after tattoo removal?

1. After washing the tattoo, you can apply anti-inflammatory ointment (aloe vera gel, Bactroban or Red Plum ointment) to a small area, and apply burn ointment to a large area first. Under normal circumstances, apply it for 2-3 days, 2 times/day.

2. There will be some discoloration after the operation. Due to the differences between individual bodies and the intensity of pigmentation, the discoloration will appear after a few minutes to a few hours. This is a normal phenomenon. During the later restoration process, the color will gradually become lighter until it disappears.

3. During the treatment, affected by various bodies and pigments, some parts may break the skin, bleed or produce blisters. This is normal. However, people with skin that is difficult to heal and diabetics should pay special attention to medication and avoid infection. If necessary, they can go to the clinic for treatment. For customers who have blisters, if the blisters are small, please be careful not to break the epidermis to prevent infection. No special medication is needed, and the blisters will heal themselves after 3-7 days. If the blister is too big, you can use a sterilized empty needle to drain the water, and then apply anti-inflammatory drugs. As long as there is no infection before scabbing, let the scab fall off naturally after scabbing, and others can peel it off with their hands, the skin will be repaired in 1-2 months.

4. Do not rub the treated area with your hands all the time after the operation, and do not let it touch water within 2-3 days. If you are allergic to certain foods (such as seafood, spicy food, etc.), you should avoid eating them during the treatment period.

5. Patients with scar-prone constitution should explain their condition before treatment. It is generally recommended not to wash the scar. If they must wash the scar, they should be mentally prepared.

6. Pay attention to sun protection after treatment. Patients who have undergone multiple treatments may be left with pigmentation marks, which usually appear brown or reddish and take six months to a year to completely repair.

7. The interval between each treatment should not be less than one month. It is generally recommended to be one and a half to two months.

8. After treatment, you should pay attention to observe the skin repair condition. If the skin does not heal for a long time or becomes infected, you should seek medical attention in time.
