Suggest Treatment For Redness, Swelling And Sensitivity After Tattooing Eyebrow
Question: Three months ago I had an eye brow tattoo and XXXXXXX color was used. After the touch up (6 weeks ago), I developed a severe inflammatory response (redness, swelling and senitivity in some areas). Two weeks ago, I was given a v. small dose of cotisone shots in the tattoo and prescribed clobetasol propionate cream , .05% for two weeks. They have improved a lot but the inflammation is still present. What are the recommended options for further treatment? I am so worried that excision may be recommended.
Brief Answer:
Do not worry, they will not advice excision. Continue treatment.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic.
Thank you for posting your query here. I have reviewed your images and understand your worry.
Let me assure you, excision will not be a solution to the issue in any way. So relax and continue the treatment recommended by your dermatologist till the symptoms are completely gone.
It does look like a delayed allergic reaction, so the treatment prescribed is appropriate.
The recent photographs do show marked improvement, so that again emphasizes that there is no need for additional treatment methods.
You should stop worrying and continue the treatment for a couple of weeks more and I am sure, the inflammation will disappear.
Hope this answers your query, feel free to write back to me if you have any additional concerns.
Wishing you good health.
Best regards
