Gabriela Gonzalez how do you rub it into your scalp without rubbing it into your
hair Gabriela I feel like this is a trick question how do you rub shampoo
into your scalp without rubbing it into your hair is this like some kind of
trick question welcome to another episode of responding
to your comments my goodness we are getting so many comments on the page and
I'm loving the interaction that we've got going on on YouTube we're going to
be looking at fun questions we're gonna be looking at health questions so all
waiting for let's dive in Ashish Nath bro please please please do a
video on tattoo aftercare how do you care for a tattoo after its inked please
help Ashish thank you for your comment this is a great question actually and in fact
the surgery that I work at has two tattoo studios very close to it so I see
a lot of patients we've just done a tattoo and also I've developed a very
close relationship with the actual tattoo artists who really know their
stuff so the first information I'm going to
give to you is that you should always follow the instructions from your tattoo
artist because different styles of tattoos can have different aftercare now
in terms of what do I recommend well as a health care professional you need to
remember that when you've had a tattoo it's a wound and that wound is gonna
have to go through its healing process now this healing process varies from
patient to patient but generally speaking it takes about four weeks for
it to fully recover so as it is a wound after your tattoo artist has finished
doing a tattoo they will cover it with either cling film or bandage they might
even use something else but generally speaking for these two items if they
have used them they usually left it on for several hours or sometimes overnight
but this all depends on the advice from your tattoo artist now once you then
remove this bandage or the cling film it's going to have some plasma on there
I have a little blood on there might be a bit of ink and then you need to wash
it so the way you wash it is very gently you need to wash it with lukewarm water
and soap now here's probably the most important
bit as a health care professional we know the research has shown that when
you have a wound you need to keep it moist and by keeping it moist it's going
to heal better it's going to heal quicker and probably have less
complications as well the old advice from a long long time ago was to let
wounds dry out and this advice is so outdated now which is the reason why
when it comes to tattoo wounds you need to keep it moist as well what you don't
do is let the wound dry out because if you do let it dry out you're at risk of
it scabbing and it can lead to a loss of ink which is why many tattoo artists
recommend that you moisturize several times a day to keep the wound moist and
that completely agree with you may then cover it with cling film or bandage as
long as your tattoo artist has advised you to do so now the most important
thing though is keeping that moisture content high so reapply reapply reapply
at least three to five times a day I would say now you're probably thinking
but Abraham what cream do you recommend well generally speaking I always
recommend a cream that contains Dexpanthenol so the best thing to do is
just google Dexpanthenol cream and find a brand that's available wherever you
are in the world and purchase that the reason I recommend Dexpanthenol is that
studies have shown that it does help with engine and irritated skin Wow
this is becoming a very long answer my brain is kind of working overdrive to
give you as much information as possible so one thing that I always get asked as
well by many patients is how do you know if the wound is infected
generally speaking need to keep an eye out on the wound and if you're getting
things like a fever if the area is getting swollen if it's getting red if
it's getting tender to touch if there's pus anything like this really can be a
sign of an infection and you will have to speak to a health
care professional about it and might need treatment I guess another thing I
can do is leave some more information in the description below for you about what
to look out for for an infected wound which will be very helpful
some people can also have an allergic reaction to the tattoo ink now it's not
very common but what you need to also look out for is very itchy skin and any
inflammation or swelling around the area this can be a sign that you are having an
allergy to the ink so if you are having these sort of symptoms you need to speak
to a healthcare professional as well and lastly when it comes to showering you
can shower just be very gentle on the area that you've had the tattoo just so
you're not causing it any more distress but what I wouldn't do is go to saunas
swimming pools or use the baths for at least four weeks just so it can prevent
you from getting an infection I really hope my tips help thank you for your
comment I will also leave more information in the description below to
some really useful pages with more information about tattoo aftercare
so how do you rub it into your scalp without rubbing it into your hair
Gabriela thank you for your comment this is from
the how to treat dandruff video and they're on about shampoo and how you
can rub it into your scalp without getting onto your hair now I don't know
if this is some sort of trick question but in all honesty it doesn't matter if
it gets on your hair you just need to get into your scalp so it'll work better
but if it is a sort of trick question or a riddle then I don't know the answer to
it but speaking of riddles I do really enjoy riddles and if anyone has a good
one please leave a comment below because I would love to include it in future
episodes of responding to your comments qpgtyui1 this is a very hard username
so if I've said it wrong I'm sorry everything
went fine until I opened the cap and it starts flowing non-stop and I was
thinking it might stop with isn't definitely the hardest thing I've done
in my life thank you for your comment this is from the how
to use an ointment video an eye ointment this has happened to me many occasions
when I was younger in fact I remember once I open an ointment which I wasn't
supposed to do and I pierce the foil on the top and then it started flowing out
I feel like it usually happens on metal cream containers it happens more this
and it had a very narrow end and it started flowing out and it kept flowing
and it kept flowing and I was having a panic attack so looking at this and I
was like oh my god my mom is gonna kill me and then I put
the top on it made a mess and went everywhere yeah true story in fact this
kind of reminds me of another time when I was younger by the way I was a bit of
a crazy kid when I was younger I kind of just like grew out of this craziness and
became what I am today what I was a very what's the word naughty kid growing up I
think that's the best way to describe it and I remember once some strange reason
I opened this fire extinguisher and it was like a foam one and had a twisty
top that you twisted like this and it started flowing and it wouldn't stop
and I tried to close it was flowing and it was like foam and it was expanding
and eve it went everywhere in the room yeah I got a lot of trouble for that don't
recommend anyone to do that fire extinguishers should be there do not
touch them they are there for emergencies but thank you for
your comment Tyerra Carter favorite part this video vitamin deficiencies
vit-e-men deficiencies I think what you're getting at is the way that British people
pronounce vitamin we say vitamin by imagine you might be in the US where
it's a vit-a-min or you have to kind of pronounce an American like vit-a-min
deficiencies by the way I'm really bad at accents but if you thought that was
good please let me know in the comments below
