    You could try a cream for generic dermititus, i have contact dermitis (allergy to nickel found in a lot of metals), i use a cream called allergenics. Ask a pharmacist for their advice though.

    Em.. leave it alone?

    Surely it will heal itself without any creams.

    Creams come recommended for tattoos actually, there's currently a thread ( http://vbulletin.thesite.org.uk/showthread.php?t=86645 ) where you might come up with some helpful advice for tattoo aftercare.

    After my tattoo on the advice of my tattooist I just cleaned it with soap and water. I really don't think it's necessary to use anything like Savlon. And it should take a couple of weeks tops to heal.

    When I had my tatoo he recomended I get Hemoriod cream (sp) - stuff for piles! It worked for me.
