A member asked:

Help docs, is garamycin (gentamicin) suitable for healing tattoos?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gentamicin: This aminoglycoside antibiotic will not heal tattoos. If you are asking if it can be used topically to treat a skin infection due to the tattoo the answer is possibly, depending upon the organism being treated and its sensitivity to gentamycin (Garamycin).
