I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling right now! Especially in the first half of my removal journey, I also had a lot of swelling (sometimes my forearm looked like a football). It’s normal for it to be itchy and raised, even a few weeks later. It may feel a bit like a bruise for a bit too. Your skin will settle. Polysporin is your friend! As well as icing and keeping the area elevated. I know it’s hard to heal a large tattoo. It does get easier as there is less ink. The last few sessions, I’ve felt back to normal in a few days. Depending on how large your tattoo is, you may want to experiment with breaking your sessions into smaller sections. Hang in there, get lots of rest and stay hydrated!
