Can I Put Foban Cream On The Pimples Around The Tattoo?
Pimples on and around tattoo, and itchy. Tattoo was done 1 month ago. Probably overtook care of it and put to much ointment or lotion. Can I put foban cream on the pimples around the tattoo and just leave the ones on the tattoo? Currently, just clean and leave it without anything. Had been 3-4 days. Also, currently at a cold weather country (11-18C) Please advise?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Foban Cream and Ointment contain an antibiotic.
This is an antibiotic used to treat skin infections.
Foban is effective only against those bacteria which fusidic acid or sodium fusidate can kill.
So,you can use the cream on the pimples around the tattoo.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
