I've just gotten a tattoo, and now I've got a rash from the a+d ointment. How do I get rid of this rash?

I've already stopped using the A+D and it's scabbing and flaking like normal, but I just want this nasty rash to go away...any advice?

I had this exact same problem when I used A &D on my tattoo's. For me it's from using a product with petrolatum in it on my skin for an extended pierod of time.... what I did that helped is I washed with a mild anti-bacterial soap, then instead of using A&D or lotion that has petrolatum (most body lotions do). I used a face lotion for sensative skin, the kind with no dyes or perfumes. When I got my next tattoo I didn't use A&D or body lotion, I used face lotion, and I didn't break out.

For now, instead of A & D ointment use an unscented, mild hand lotion. This shouldn't create any more irritation and therefore allow your body to heal itself. It the rash doesn't go away in a few days see your doctor.

Have two tat's myself, good to stop the A&D ointment.the best thind to use is plain vasoline jelly. helps the healing, with the dry skin which in turns helps with the itching. keep it out of the sun and don't go in pools. the chlorine is bad for it.

I would leave it for now. Make sure your washing it good and use a not fragrance lotion on it for a few days. Don't use anything oily, and scratch it. Give it a few days t should be fine. I had a reaction to aqua 4 and I let it be and it was fine.
