Hi I got a tattoo a week ago so I thought it would be okay if I wiped my tattoo with undiluted savlon and a few days later I notice my skin red and blisters developing I just knew it was because of the savlon.. But I want to know could this burn leave a mark?
Hello,
For this kind of skin, avoid using any lotions and creams over the face for the meantime. Wash your face with a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Pat your face dry. You can apply antibiotic cream such as silver sulfadiazine (Silvadene).It will prevent infection and help in fast healing.
The brown spots are due to post inflammatory hyperpigmented spots. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a condition where there is an excess amount of pigment following a disease process that affects the skin. Without treatment, this usually takes about 6 months to resolve and for the skin color to go back to its normal color.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
