Stinging Sensation In Eyes. Wiped Eyes With Bepanthen. See A Doctor?
Hi I have a new tattoo and I have been applying bepanthen on it, I had a little bit left over (residue nothing excessive - I just must not have washed my hands) and I seem to have wiped the corner of my eye and didn t think - a few hours later after feeling a bit like its stinging and sensitive particularly in the corner, I realised and started flushing out with cold water.. I ve flushed it again since (this was today) and it seems to not really be helping... Should it pass or should I see a doctor?

Dear user
Bephanthen is usually prescribed for skin care particvularly in babies. It can also be used to spply to skin after tattoo. It usually wont cause any problems to the eye. You can wash your eyes, which you have done and use lubricating eye drops. If the irritation wont come down contact ophthalmologist to rule out allergic diseases.
thank you
