How long after a tattoo should you use tegaderm?
You should wait until it's finished bleeding and oozing. So Ideally no less than 4 hours and no more than 12. Then you should wash it and dry it. Then put the tegaderm on and leave it on for 3-5 days.
What is a Tegaderm Film used for?
Tegaderm film is used as a dressing over non-draining wounds or punctures (like intravenous sites) to keep them clean and free infectious matter. Personally, when applying a medicated patch like Nicoderm, I like to put a tegaderm of it so it stays in place better.

Is it ok if you cover your belly button up to go swimm if you have just gotton it done like 6 days ago?
Waterproof Protection Don't expose your piercing to a hot tub, pool, lake, ocean, or any body of water, even if it seems clean. The chemicals in heavily chlorinated pools could be as damaging as the microorganisms and dirt in natural bodies of water. Protect your piercing with a Nexcare Waterproof Bandage, a Tegaderm Transparent Dressing, or similar covering. If you don't use a sealant bandage, then you should avoid submerging (or even splash- ing) your healing piercing.
Why wont the Fentanyl transdermal system patch stay on?
Skin oils comdined with dry skin can affect the stickyness. You MUST wash the area but be sure to rinse both soap residue and dry well before applying. I also suggest buying a TEGADERM skin patch and slice it in half then attach both halves to each other end of your patch - this will eliminate falloff over the 2-3 days you wear it.

How do you care for your navel piercing?
What would be healthiest is to leave it alone and keep it clean. If it becomes irritated or crusty, you can buy a Saline Wound Wash solution and spray it or mix warm water and sea salt and let it soak (never use alcohol, neosporin, or any other chemicals/ointments. Saline is the easiest for your body to accept and washes out bacteria as well as helps heal faster). Whenever it comes in contact with anything (including tap water), make sure you clean it in a saline solution. Also, if you go swimming, buy a tegaderm bandage and cover it. If it does get infected, visit a doctor or go to a piercing professional for advice. A few ways you can tell if it's infected is if the fluid around it is a dark foul-smelling substance, hot to touch, hardened, or inflammed. Note: the clear or milky fluid is completely normal- so it's not a sign of an infection, just healing.
Is there an alternative for gauze pads?
Low-adherence dressings (e.g. Mepitel®, Jelonet®) are used as interface layers and secondary absorbent dressings. They vary from impregnated cotton or viscose fibres to fenestrated silicone dressings, and help to make dressing changes less painful.Vapour-permeable films and membranes (e.g. Opsite®, Tegaderm®) allow the passage of water vapour and oxygen, but not water or microorganisms. They are commonly used to cover acute surgical wounds, but are not suitable for heavily exuding wounds.Odour-absorbent dressings (e.g. Carboflex®, Lyofoam C®) contain activated charcoal to neutralise odours. They are used mainly in the chronic setting for malodorous infected or fungating wounds.Hope this helps!
