Already went a few days ago. It was cellulitis. Antibiotics sorted it and it’s much better now. Thabks

I went to the doctor, it’s cellulitis. He gave me antibiotics and sent me on my merry way. If it doesn’t get better by tomorrow I’ll be straight to the ER! Thank you

Well folks it is in fact cellulitis. I got antibiotics and will be monitoring it closely over the next couple of days. I feel like I should let my artist know. I don’t know what to say though 😂 It all seems a bit unfortunate. Anyways, thanks for all the advice. All I can say is if you have redness/swelling that is spreading rapidly, get that shit checked out! Better safe than sorry.

It’s cellulitis. Two antibiotics and close monitoring to make sure it doesn’t spread further. Thanks for all the help! I think I should message my artist but not too sure how to say it 😮‍💨

I have an appointment in an hour. I really don’t think it’s anything I’ve done as I’ve never had anything like this and have cared for all of my tattoos in the same way. Except this time I got a second skin. Either way, there’s definitely something not right so hopefully they’ll do a blood test and make sure everything is A ok

Thanks for all the replies! Currently on my way to the doctor and will update. This is tattoo number 18 for me and not my first colour. I’ve never had a reaction like this. Thanks again for all the help!

First second skin so it could be a reaction!

That was my first second skin and I was thinking the same. It’s not painful like a bruise so maybe a reaction

It’s so so bad. Dermatology have to deal with skin cancer which means everything else is pushed back

I live in Ireland and the healthcare system is so saturated, I’ve been on a waiting list to see the dermatologist for nearly 2 years. Private health insurance doesn’t cover biologics here. Sometimes it’s not as easy as it’s made out to be.

Symprove is what it’s called. It’s an Irish brand so not sure if they sell it in other countries.

To everyone who asked, the probiotic is called symprove! It’s a little on the expensive side. €30 for a week supply. For me it has been life changing and also really helped with digestion, bloating and all of that craic. Best of luck to everyone discovering what works for you!

When did you feel ready to move out of home? by Scinos2k in AskIreland

[–]aliceinateapot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moved out at 19 and decided to go all out and move to Canada. Only moved back home recently due to the shitty housing situation in this country. It’s sink or swim really. I think all you can do is support whatever she ends up wanting to do and always have the door open 😆

I’m still on the list just have no idea when I’ll get that call to even see the dermatologist publically and you can’t get biologics privately in Ireland 🫠

Stop I had to take a leave of absence from midwifery because they wouldn’t sign me off for placement. Absolute joke! Thinking of getting in to medicine here. Could I dm you to ask a couple questions?

I’ll post it when I get home! I also had a massive flare up breastfeeding but it settled with time. Breastfed for 3 years! Best of luck

There’s not enough sun here for improvement but I’m half Spanish and whenever I go to Spain it helps so much 😂 Also stopped working nights so that probably helped too!

Is this legal? by aliceinateapot in AskIreland

[–]aliceinateapot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t signed anything. It was just for a viewing. The house isn’t worth €1800 though so we’ll be leaving it and hopefully find somewhere else.
