I had an infection beginning, tried to manage it with chlorhexidine only but been worse and worse everyday (appeared 2 days ago, I'm at day 6).

I used the cream of my little brother and 1 time the one of my mom (both said to be used by the tattoo artist they went to) because I was out of what I use normally.

Beside that, it's the same artist on all my tattoo, never had the problem and already had some tattoo with the same color (see my hand on last pic, also for the guy saying he got better "color retention" than me).

I went to the hospital because it was really getting bad (hole in the skin, red, hot, painful and kinda hard on the part who's red because of the infection) and they put me isobetadine gel to keep for 3 days.

I'm not sure this is the best way to cure it, my artist told me to not use isobetadine and the doc said we have to... I don't want to fuck my tattoo but at this point, healing process is the most important and we'll have to retouch it anyway since the skin went off deeply as shown on pictures.

Anyone with a really good experience in tattoo, healing and infections got some advice?

Yes, I wash my hands and gently wash my tattoo with ph neutral soap, then let it dry and finally put the some cream. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Hope I won't get a wave of hate this time...

Let's do it differently : here my infected tattoo, any advice?
