Can I use Sudocrem on a tattoo to help healing?

Ive just got 2 new tattoo's one one the inside of each wrists. The guy said to do the same as last time, but i've just realised I have no savlon spray.

Would it be ok to use sudocrem?

    Bepanthen is the best thing to use on new tattoos. It helps them scab over wuicker and it helps with the itching too

    Absolutely! Its bull when people say it takes the ink out... It totally does not! Sudocrem is amazing, I swear by it! Healed my tattoo within days!

    Sudocrem works well but I would recommend using Bepanthen,

    Its similar stuff but in my experiance it works better,

    That and it worked a charm on everyone i've seen use it better than sudocrem did.

    Sudocrem is brilliant. I used it on my cat when he had his tail off. It wouldn't heal at all with what the vet gave me but as soon as I used sudocrem it soon healed!!

    I don't know about tatoos though. Could it be a bit glubby, maybe?

    I always use Preperation H on any new tattoos for the first seven days. It works great and keeps the colours bright. Ive never tried sudocrem so dont know.

    dont use sudocrem it makes it mosit and fades the colour of the tattoo when it eventually heals,, use preperation h or savlon :)

    sodocrem really stings when put on raw skin. would it not be better to jusy leave for the night. do you have any tea tree or lavendar oil - put a few drops in water and use that instead to bathe area

    Tea tree is natural antispetic, lavendar is antiseptic and also healing of raw areas - encourages scrapes/spots to heal over and dry

    The best product out there that you can buy at any drug store is Aquaphor. Vasline, A&D Ointment, lotions and soaps can pull out the color.
