Haha;) yes i did go see the doctor and he said it was a mild infection, but he was glad i came now and not any later… 🙂 got some antibiotics, som hopfully it will gett better now:)

It depends on how strong it is. Køorhexidin 0,5 mg/l is used to desinfect wounds, and also to wash downstairs when getting a urin katheter. So that one is not strong. The one that is 5 mg/ml is stronger an is used before getting pvk or things like that. That would hurt in a wound.

But i readed on another forum that klorhexindin bleeches your tattoo. Anyone known with that?

Det var kun andre natten at jeg opplevde at den satte seg fast. Nå gjør den ikke det. Og når jeg tar på selve tatoveringen gjør det ikke vondt lenger, og den er tørr om Jeg ikke smører noe på den. Nei, jeg er ikke i barcelona lenger, og jeg har ikke badet etter at jeg tok den. Føler at eg har gjort alt til punkt og prikke som jeg har fått beskjed om (Utenom da den satt seg fast). Men av og til får man kanskje infeksjon uten noen god grunn til det også.. Men nå går jeg iallefall antibiotika, og legen sa det var en overflatisk infeksjon. Så det er jo bra:)

Thanks for th answers everyone! Here is the tattoo today:

Yesterday before i went to bed i washed it, an d then i washed the edged and where its red with klorhexidin 0,5 mg/ml.i searhed on the internet now, and i an see many are not a fan of that, but that was the only thing i had that could desinfect the area a bit. Then i had a thin layer of aquaphor and i also changed the bedsheats (again).

I think it looks a bit better today. The skin is not so warm arround, and the redness is a bit milder. I will go to the farmacy and by bacimysin, and see if that will help. Tha farmacy isnt open before 17.00, so im thinking about alling the doctor just to hear whats their opinion. The tatto is stinging a bit today, thats a thing a have not had before.

Poxphobia: jeg våknet av at foten hang fast i sengetøyet andre natten. Jeg vetet tøyet ol. Før jeg tok det av, men noe skade var allerede skjedd:/

One thing, the “white” areas is aquaphor that has just been applied.

Ok, NOW i’m starting to get worried. Se picture here: Hh by ~saapeak on deviantART

The tattoh has gotten the red outline today. The red scab on the top I think is because of the bedsheats. Its starting to peel off a bit in the bottom also. Its alsom been “crying” a bit today. The “tears” seems to be without any color or smell. I have no fever. The swelling is much better, and its not hurting much when washing (it dit hurt the first two days).

If its like this tomorrow i think i will go to the doctor (the clock is 01.30 in the night here in Norway).

Does this redness look like infection? And is i normal that te tattoo cryes also on the 3-4 day?

Sorry about the norwegian;) it were just easyer to ask and be answerd in my own language. But now I switched over ro english;)

Takk igjen for svar! Greit å Ha noen å spør om ting man lurer på;)
Nå har jeg kommet hjem fra en 8 timers togtur og ligger med foten hevet;) hele foten er hoven, men ne som er positivt er at selve tatoveringen er mindre vond. G det gjør ikke så vondt å trø på foten:)
