Allergic Reaction??

[Sarrod♀️]

Hi, So this is day 13 of my tattoo healing after a touch up. This time my artist used fixaderm so it would heal better. It worked good didn’t scab or anything. I took it off on day 5. After a few days I notice the area were the bondage was started to peel and this included on the tattoo.  I thought maybe normal peeling. But now day 13 still very scaly skin where the bandage was and  it’s not just on the tattoo it’s the whole area where the bandage was. It’s not peeling off like a normal tattoo either..the skin remains scaly/textured. I think I’m having an allergic reaction to the bondage or maybe the soap??? I’m using dial antibacterial gold soap.

Also it doesn’t itch at all. It’s not like the tattoo is in that itchy peely stage when I moistures with light aquaphor it looks fine.

probably just a reaction to the bandage glue

it looks normal IMO for a 13 day old tattoo,

and the area where the film was will look different until fully healed,don't forget a tattoo takes 6 weeks or more to heal.

when I use saniderm it is red where the film was for a week.

That is very possible. Do you think it will go away?

Yes. It will go away.
