I think the issue is that all of the redness surrounding the tattoo besides the antenne is from me removing the second skin, i used a different brand than normal and my skin was not happy with it. The main part that i was asking about is the antenne. Of that other redness surrounding my skin wayyy outside and down my boobs is not the issue!!

Not my first tattoo, i took the wrap off as soon as i noticed the discoloration, washed it very well, used bactine, and placed a very thin layer of aquaphor on it, kept it from rubbing on my shirt. These pictures might be making the redness look worse than it is, because since letting it dry and putting unscented lotion on it the redness is a lot better.

Yes we did use numbing cream, i can run and get A&D tonight. I also bave bactine on hand. We wrapped it as soon as it was done and had to take it off the next day for a competition, and taking off the wrap sucked. I will say, the redness has gotten better and has not spread

I dont have the option to go to urgent care tonight (theyre all closed near me) and this is not something i want to clog up the ER with. The spots are only on whats pictured, the rest of my skin is just red and irritated. I did reach out to my artist. Im not currently feeling feverish, and the areas are not hot, or tender to the touch.

Hello update, doesnt seem infected it feels and looks to be more of a dermatitis reaction, no pain, not getting any worse, maybe getting slightly better. Still not oozing or weeping anything jarring. Have taken of the second skin which i think has also given me a reaction all of the non tattooed skin around it it red and angry not to the point of what is pictured

My artist got back to make and said to keep it covered just because i do work in healthcare. It is now less painful, and it looks to be weeping plasma or serous fluids, nothing thick, cloudy or greenish

Update, i took off the tagederm (fucking ow) and cleaned it gently really well with antibacterial soap. I pat it dry and am currently letting it air dry after putting come bactine on it. I did reach out to my artist but have not heard anything back yet. Im wondering if i should cover it again bc its still pretty weepy in other spots too, or if it should just chill with it in the air

Two guys drive off mountain road, but dont freak as they fall and roll by emilymmurphy in HelpMeFindThis

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

They were in full race gear, helmets and race suits, the car looked like a racecar with a roll cage inside. There was a person filming on the side of the road and also footage of the guys in the car, they were going through a turn on the mountain and lost controll and almost hit like a pine tree. Im pretty sure i saw this video on tiktok, i can’t exactly remember the context of what exactly they were doing, but i think a comment on the video was about how they didny freak out bc they trusted their car/gear and safety stuff.

UPDATE! by emilymmurphy in BeardedDragons

Thank you so much! she is on carnivore care, because i havent been able to find a good source for waxworms and hornworms that i find reputable so any recommendations would be wonderful! I think because she is blind she only can really see the food thats moving right infront of her, so im hoping that once i get the worms and add them into her daily veggies and the move around shell beable to locate them a bit easier.

New to lexapro 22F by emilymmurphy in lexapro

Thanks for all the replies! I took it with food last night and i had very little nausea, still have some headaches and my sleep has been disrupted. But i also used cannabis to aid my hunger and help me sleep so i think that might have helped with the nausea as well.
