    Yeah, that’s a good point. Because my skin is sensitive and a bit reactive, I do sometimes find Bepanthen irritating and dermatitis-triggering. Given that the area is looking way better and less red today, I’m tempted to switch over to coconut oil or a gentle lotion. I’ve wanted to try Hustle Butter for ages, but the tattoo artists I’ve been going to tend not to stock it.

    Thank you! I’ve had redness / rashiness reactions to second skin before (and to adhesives in general), so you’d think I’d know better by now. 🥴 I’ve been washing with a gentle goat’s milk soap and using Bepanthen three times a day since, although by day 4 (which is tomorrow), I usually switch over to a gentle scent-free lotion like Aveeno twice a day. Would you continue with Bepanthen for longer?

    I was wondering if I could get some advice. I got a tattoo on/under my collarbones on Sunday. The artist put second skin on but told me to take it off if it irritated me. It was pulling and rubbing, so I took the second skin off Sunday night. Now things are looking pretty red and irritated. My question is, does this look like a skin irritation from the second skin (as the straight angles and shape of the red bits would suggest), or more along the lines of an ink allergy or infection?
