Saniderm tape/ red rash.

[Jose4121]

So I got tatted on Monday and took of the Saniderm tape but it has left an ugly red mark & im so tired of it! Will it go away? Also got lots of little bumps on it.

I get that too, all the rash/redness will go away 100%

[Gingerninja]

Agreed with @Dan. I get this too every once in a while. Goes away in a couple of days!

[Princess Sparkle Mittens]

Yes, it goes away. Next time you use -derm, don't pull it off in an upwards motion. Start by pulling it outward on both sides to break the surface tension, and go slow. In my experience, that is less painful and the skin doesn't get quite so irritated. 

[WillyBoy123]

Just some skin irritation, it'll go away

[oboogie]

I get it, too. It'll go away. Just leave it alone.

I currently have this issue and it has been 2.5 days since I took my Saniderm off.  How long did it take for the redness to go away? Any advice on how to help the redness disappear?

 

It isn't itchy, but the skin around my tattoo feels like the tattoo, kind of like sandpaper/healing. This is my second time using saniderm, no issues the first time, not sure why my skin did not like it this time.

I get redness and bruising after taking the saniderm off , it's 100% normal and it will go away in a week or so,maybe more maybe less. I depends on you and where the tattoo is also.

I use Aveeno a couple times  a day after I take off the saniderm.

I use tegaderm only atm for my clients because its the safest on sensitive skin, I have used cheaper versions of this wrap that just completely suck and leave the skin red and irritated like this. Second skin is a decent brand no doubt but atm I find tegaderm to be the best one.

I have used tagederm and saniderm and IMO it's the same stuff and both have given me the same results.

[SStu]

some people are allergic to tape and/or saniderm glue. It'll pass. Itching is part of every tattoo.

It happens every time I remove tape or saniderm post-tattoo. It'll go away.

I have allergies to adhesives and I use saniderm on my new tattoo. I have used saniderm previously on my other ones and have had the same issues. It's get red and create a rash in the area we're the saniderm laid. It's take a long time to go away and burns. Usually once it goes away it takes away the pigment in my skin. So let say if I was tan in the area and I used the saniderm I would no longer be tan in that area. This tattoo is only 24 hours old and the saniderm was only for that time. Does have any ideas on what cream I should use to help allergic reaction?

 

[SStu]

No - but if you're allergic to it why are you still using saniderm?

Quit using saniderm.

As @oboogie said - stop using saniderm.

I have a a red swelling spot near my tattoo where the tape was,  that is not itchy and it doesn't hurt. It feels like i made a little reaction to the tape. Is anyone knows what's up?

It's just a reaction to the adhesive. It'll go away.

Not allergic as far as I'm aware but I do suffer from eczema. I have recently removed my second skin after 3 days of wearing it with no problem like my Artist had recommended. But upon removal I have had a small flare up, I'm not sure if I'm able to use my normal eczema cream over the tattoo to treat it or do you guys recommend something else.

I'm currently only using bepanthen.

[oboogie]

Just treat it with the bepanthen. Not sure what your eczema cream would do to the tattoo.
