Side effects of Bepanthen® scar gel
No side effects are to be expected when Bepanthen® scar gel is used properly. However, as with any drug, allergies to the individual ingredients may be present, which can lead to allergic reactions. As Bepanthen® Scar Gel is only applied locally, irritation of the skin, e.g. in form of a red rash, is to be expected. If the Bepanthen® Scar Gel gets into the eyes or mucous membranes, these should be rinsed out immediately with plenty of water. If the symptoms persist, a doctor should be consulted immediately.
How much is the price for the Bepanthen® scar gel?
Bepanthen® scar gel does not require a prescription or pharmacy and can be purchased over the counter. 20 grams of the gel cost around 16 Euros, prices vary depending on the supplier.
Can the Bepanthen® scar gel also be used for the aftercare of a tattoo?
Bepanthen® scar gel is not explicitly recommended for the aftercare of tattoos according to the manufacturer. Since there is usually no scarring when a tattoo is stung, the use of the scar gel is not indicated. If in doubt, consult your tattoo artist or your dermatologist, who can give you recommendations for the aftercare of your tattoo.
