Can you tell me about using ssd with lidocaine cream for tattoo healing?

Wont change healing: I perform a lot of laser tattoo removal and always recommend my patients use either cetaphil or aquaphor 3x a day until the tattoo is healed. Normally 3-7 days. There is not a lot of post laser pain so the need for topical anesthesia isn't really there. Ice packs, Motrin tylenol (acetaminophen) all are fine as long as you can take them. It is possible to overdose with the constant application of lido.
