It can become infected if it is not kept clean. It is also a good idea to keep the area moistened with skin cream.
I am using Foban on my fingers and it seems to relieve the symptoms... Here's hoping anyway! Good luck.
Preparation H for a few days, then Eucerin is good.
Not for the primary cause of the sore. Cold sores are caused by a viral infection, specifically, the herpes simplex virus. The active ingredient in foban cream is fusidic acid, which is a type of antibiotic. Antibiotics are only good against bacteria, not viruses. However, there may be some evidence that it helps in the healing, in the same way that antibiotics helps in rhinovirus-initiated colds. It prevents secondary bacterial infections that may hinder the body's own natural healing process from the virally caused wound. Hope this answers your question.
You want a good thick lotion once your tattoo has healed. If it is a new tattoo, use an antibiotic ointment or cream to help it heal faster without scarring.
The risk from a coverup getting infected is no greater than a tattoo done on fresh skin, however their is a greater chance of scarring or kiloiding depending on how bad the first tattoo is and how good the coverup artist is
With any infected sore, it's a good idea to immediately disinfect the area. After that, the application of a soothing cream containing calamine or hydrocortisone will help tremendously. If it seems really serious, contacting your doctor would be a good idea.
One good subtopic could be about how to keep the areas clean. You could also talk about how to care for the areas when they become infected.
