How Can Bleeding At The Tattoo Site Be Managed?

I had an unwanted tattoo on my forearm just below my elbow on the inside of my wrist I didn t have any money so I salt and iced the area and cut off the tattoo ( stupid I know) I probably went a bit overboard and it bled a whole lot but do you know how to treat this without a doctor visit?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,

You definitely require doctor consultation in order to prevent future complications like secondary infection.

Until then, apply T Bact ointment twice daily on affected area and apply tight tourniquet.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
