Can I remove the scabs from my tattoo?

Usually scabs will form after a tattoo. Sometimes you don’t remove the scabs on your body intentionally, but you may just accidentally touch or rub them. Sometimes you remove the scabs because you are curious and can’t control your curiosity. After the tattoo scab is removed, it is easy to cause wound infection and cause itching of the surrounding skin. In short, if it is not an accident, try to be careful not to remove the scab formed after the tattoo easily. If it is accidentally removed, what should you do?

After laser tattoo removal, the scab was removed and got wet. Now there is exudate on the surface. It is recommended to disinfect the skin with iodine tincture and then apply Bactroban for anti-inflammatory and sterilization.

This is more likely to cause scar hyperplasia. You can apply aloe vera gel or vitamin C gel. In addition, you need to cooperate with oral anti-inflammatory drugs and heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs. Pay attention to your diet, eat more light foods and avoid spicy, seafood and greasy foods. If necessary, you can choose oral anti-inflammatory drugs.

A scab is a lump of material formed by the coagulation of platelets and fibrin on the surface of a wound or sore, which will fall off on its own after the wound or sore heals. For wounds without inflammation, no treatment is needed after scabbing. You just need to protect the wound, avoid pressure on the wound, and prevent infection. For some inflamed wounds, once a scab forms, we need to determine whether there is pus and ulcers inside the wound. If pus and ulcers appear, we need to clean the scab in time, clean the necrotic tissue and pus under the scab, and avoid worsening of the wound infection.

If the patient's scab is hard, you can apply a wet compress of absorbent cotton soaked in saline on the scab, and then use medical scissors to cut off the scab. After cutting off, clean the wound surface in time. After cleaning, you need to use Yu's Wound Healing Recipe and other drugs for auxiliary treatment to promote the wound healing as soon as possible. During the treatment, patients can also take some anti-inflammatory drugs orally to control wound inflammation.

You can apply erythromycin ointment or lomefloxacin hydrochloride ointment to the affected area for treatment. Keep the wound clean, avoid getting it wet, get more rest, drink plenty of water, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, and avoid skin irritation and trauma.
