Reddit mentions of Aquaphor Healing Ointment, 14 oz (396 g) (Pack of 2)

Aquaphor. I found the one specifically for lips wasn't as effective and just kind of slides off! Burts bees, Carmex, Blistex, Chapstick and Vaseline (usless is layered over something else like Aquaphor) do nothing for me. During the day I use this blue Nivea lip balm and at night I slather the bejeezus outta my lips with Aquaphor.

I would give it a few days, 2 or 3 should be fine if you are taking proper care of your new tattoo.

After that, wash it with anitbacterial soap before, pat dry and wrap it up in some saran wrap (or any clear wrap without glue on it), then antibacterial soap again after with a small dab of aquiphor.

I used to work in a tattoo shop and have healed up a bunch of tattoos, and this usually does the trick.

Yeah sounds and looks most like eczema, there are several treatments most of them are prescription however unless you can get your hands on some samples. I would suggest starting off with none steroid treatments like pro-topic and/or Elidel if those don't work then more of a steroid cream is an option, there are side effects with those (thinning of the skin). So your best option is to see a dermatologist.

However you can try to keep your skin healthy with lotions and ointments. My favorite lotion is Eucerin I use it it when I get out of the shower (always pat dry never rub) and on my hands when they are dry, you can pick it up at a Walmart or Target if you live in the US. You can also go over to the travel size products and pick up a small bottle of lotion i like the Aveeno also a great lotion one and refill with preferred lotion when needed to have a travel bottle. The other product I swear by is Aquaphor it is a ointment kind of like a petroleum jelly. Slab that shit all over your feet or hands when they are very dry, wear cotton socks and cotton gloves while sleeping or watching TV. The gloves will get dirty and stretch just wash and dry and they will be good as new. I have several pairs floating around so I don't have to laundry every day. This helps the ointments or any medication applied to those areas the maximum effectiveness. Also it allows you to be able to do things with your hands and not get shit all over everything.

If does turn out to eczema try to avoid touching chemicals especially cleaning products wear gloves and be caution what you are sticking your hands into. Good luck with everything
