Can Aquaphor Be Used To Cure Allergic Reaction For Tattoo?
I recently got a tattoo while in Los Angeles on vacation. My last day on vacation little bumps appeared under the tattoo design. When getting home, I notice the tattoo ink disappearing. I went to the hospital and the doctor told me I had an allergic reaction. I been putting aquaphor on it. What else can I use?

Hello,
Unlike vaseline (100% petrolatum), which is occlusive, Aquaphor (41% petrolatum) acts as a moisturizer. Yes, you can use it three times a day and also take tablet levocetrizine two times daily after food for seven days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
