What to do if the tattoo scabbed and cracked

Tattoos have been very popular in recent years, especially among young people. Some young people choose to get tattoos for fashion trends. People who have had tattoos know that tattoos will form scabs after a period of time. However, if the tattoo scabs crack, it is generally caused by the scabs being too thick. At this time, you can wipe it with warm water several times a day, which can effectively prevent the scabs from being too thick.

The dangers of tattoos

1. Irregular tattoo shops can damage your skin:

Using needle tips to pierce or tattoo the human body is destructive to skin cells and nerve cells and is not conducive to health. The skin is the first line of defense of the human body and can resist the invasion of external mechanical, physical, and chemical stimuli and microorganisms. Tattoos damage the skin and are prone to bacterial infections such as boils, carbuncles, erysipelas, impetigo, etc. If the wound area is large, the bacteria are highly virulent, or even grow and multiply in the blood, sepsis may occur and be life-threatening.

2. Cause skin allergic reaction:

There are many kinds of pigments used for tattoos, many of which are chemical substances. These chemicals can cause dermatitis and allergies when they enter the human body, resulting in local itching, pain, burning sensation, numbness, etc., or leaving scars. The result is that the beauty is lost and the ugliness becomes the result.

3. Concurrent skin diseases:

Certain skin diseases are prone to occur at tattoo sites, such as keloid, lichen planus, psoriasis, discoid lupus erythematosus, as well as sarcoidosis, melanoma, keratoacanthoma, warts, squamous cell carcinoma, and skin carcinoma in situ. Many of these may be a homomorphic reaction to tattoo stimulation.

4. Induce skin cancer:

According to research, tattoo pigments contain heavy metals such as lead, chromium and other compounds. These colored chemical synthetic substances are potentially harmful to the human body and are one of the factors that induce skin cancer. They can cause cell mutations and cancer.

5. Spreading diseases:

If tattoo needles are not sterilized properly, they can spread a variety of diseases, such as tuberculosis, hepatitis B, AIDS, leprosy, syphilis and pyoderma.

6. Tattoos are extremely difficult to remove. The only way is to undergo plastic surgery, which may cause psychological barriers to patients.
