652407 tn?1300737199 Hello, I am not very sure of the efficacy and the related side effects of these tattoo removal creams but laser removal although expensive has been found to be the best treatment for tattoo removal. Another technique is Intense Pulsed Light Therapy. It is dermal enhancer in which instead of laser light, it uses high intensity light. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar n tn Question - I get laser tattoo removal treatments every 6-8 weeks and pre-treatment the technician uses an ice roller (looks like a lint-roller but the roller is cold metal) and rubs it on the tattoo and does this again after the laser is performed. Because the laser can cause pinpoint bleeding I am concerned that she didn't sanitize the roller before she rubbed it on my tattoo (which was bleeding). Is there any risk here? Thank you for your answers.
Avatar f tn I had a tattoo done about 2 months ago and next to it about 3cm away was a mole I had removed yesterday I have noticed that when they have pulled the skin to stitch the small area that my tattoo looks stretched so it makes the picture look out of whack once this heals will it make my tattoo look back in shape again????????? Probably sounds very vain....

Avatar m tn getting the vaccine after you've had warts is a little late. typically if you've had warts, we no longer recommend the vaccine. you can discuss with your provider if it's worthwhile getting the vaccine to help prevent future infection with the 2 types associated with oral and genital cancers. will your warts come back? only time will tell.

Avatar f tn the only thing I can say is the normal pain of a tattoo is nothing compared to tattooing a scar... it hurts like hell. A lot of tattoo places won't even try because scar tissue is unpredictable & for some tattoos great, but for others it doesn't take properly & looks worse then the scars themselves. I would try a dermatologist for options & try scar removal options. Bio-Oil may help lighten it.
Avatar m tn I also had tattoo laser removal and after my second treatment developed this rash. Initially it was around my tattoo and is still the main affected area, however it spread through across my body. I have seen a dermatologist nearly every month for the past 8 months and we have tried creams steroids anti histamines etc and nothing seems to be working! I've even had biopsy done on the affected areas. My dr is left scratching his head and I'm obviously still not permanently treated!

Avatar f tn As you were already told in the HIV Prevention Community, nobody has ever been infected from receiving a tattoo. In this day and age, tattoo needles are throughly sterilized. Further, even if it were somehow contaminated, such superficial blood exposure would not be sufficient to expose a person to HIV. In HIV transmission, "direct blood exposure" means injection of infectious fluids deep into the body, for example, as in the case of IV drug use. Your 6.

Avatar f tn Any one planning to get a tattoo for baby?? I want to get both kids DOB down my spine in roman numerals.. not sure any ideas???..
Avatar m tn I had a wart on my finger, and I have had it for awhile (4-8) months and I just started to put some wart removal cream on it. Today, I noticed that some of my skin was peeling off, so I just peeled the rest of it off and and part of the wart. I was wondering if this is going to spread to other parts of my body or will it just stay in that one part. I was just wondering because I did shave today and did not know if it would spread.
