How do I treat an infected tattoo that is just few days old?
An infected tattoo is a very scary nightmare no one wishes to have. This happens when you go to an unhygienic place to get your tattoos. Once you notice signs of infection, the first thing you should do is to go to the hospital. There, you’d be diagnosed and be told the type of infection you have. You may be give just an ointment for mild infections, while you may be given medications if need be. Above all, let your tattoo breathe, don’t conceal fresh tattoos as that could cause infection and swelling sometimes.
Once you’ve seen signs that show that your tattoo is infected, you may try to clean with clean water and hydrogen peroxide, but if it appears severe, you should consult a doctor immediately. Seeing a doctor makes you know what exactly is wrong and how to treat it.
