As practice shows, patients try in vain to eliminate most dermatological defects and diseases on their own with Boro Plus. The green and purple version of the tube is quite available in pharmacy chains. Without knowing the difference between them, it is impossible to fully restore the structural and functional norm of the epidermis and the underlying dermis.
Experts consider another serious problem of self-medication to be the ability of low-quality drugs and self-prepared dosage forms to cause allergic reactions and dermatitis. In this regard, regardless of the degree of complexity of the skin problem that has arisen, diagnosis and treatment should only be carried out by an experienced, qualified dermatologist.

Tattoo correction
If it happens that after some time the tattoo “floats” or inflammation begins, you must immediately go to the artist who worked with you. The thing is that some people may develop an allergic reaction to some types of paint (cases are quite rare, approximately 1 in 1000). In addition, with any professional tattooing procedure, a small amount of microbes enters the body. However, a healthy person has a strong enough immune system to cope with this nuisance. In any case, if you have any questions or unforeseen difficulties, contact the specialist to find out together why this or that problem arose. However, after visiting a real professional, the risk of remaining dissatisfied is minimized (a specialized salon, sterile instruments and a clean workplace where all hygiene requirements are taken into account will guarantee that you will not fall into the hands of a charlatan).
It should be remembered that over time, the effectiveness of a tattoo is lost - the skin becomes flabby, and cellulite may appear. To avoid unpleasant metamorphoses with your favorite design, when choosing a place to apply a tattoo, it is better to focus on parts of the body where the skin does not stretch over time (shoulder blade, ankle).
As you can see, the well-known thesis that a tattoo is a magical synthesis of art and medicine should be considered in a medical manner at the stage of recovery and care. Would anyone want to harm themselves through their own dishonesty, inattention or laziness?
Fulfilling these simple provisions is not so difficult, especially when your beauty and individuality are at stake. In addition, if you do not follow the above rules and get an undesirable result due to your own negligence, then there will definitely be no guarantee for the work: an experienced master will understand where his omission is and where it is the customer’s negligence.
Operating principle
The components included in the composition have an antimicrobial effect. The dense structure of the ointment creates a protective film and allows the active substances to suppress the activity of pathogenic microorganisms in wounds and on the epidermis.
Aloe increases the speed of metabolic processes, which promotes rapid cell regeneration and wound healing. The components of Boro ointment contain vitamins, micro- and macroelements, which at the cellular level restore the structure of the skin, increase elasticity and improve appearance.
The drug eliminates unpleasant odors that appear on the skin due to the proliferation of bacteria and increased sweating, refreshes and tones well. Improving the function of the sebaceous glands relieves the severity of acne, enlarged pores and acne scars are reduced and tightened.
Please note: the ointment has a smoothing and rejuvenating effect, eliminates minor skin imperfections, and improves tone.
Let's look at the differences in the green and purple versions of the cream to make the right choice.
Tattoo
Currently, the choice of designs for tattooing is huge, because it is not only fashionable, but also very beautiful. Therefore, young people do not hesitate to tattoo themselves, and some cannot stop, their body is covered with multiple designs and patterns. The main thing in this matter is to realize in time whether you need this tattoo and whether it will disappoint you in the future. Removal is not cheap at all.
Therefore, calculate correctly whether you will need it in the future. This is especially true for males. Stars often apply an unlimited number of designs. Colored tattoos are also very popular; they are, of course, more expensive, but the effect will be pleasing.

Indications for use of the drug in purple packaging

What happens if you don't follow the advice?
Taking care of a tattoo is not easy, but you need to remember that its appearance depends on correctly following the recommendations. Ignoring advice leads to a number of unpleasant consequences:
- colors fade;
- the skin becomes inflamed;
- the contour “floats”.
With appropriate care, the original brightness is lost, this is quite normal, but the maximum change in shade is no more than 20 percent of the original appearance. If the rules are not followed, then this value increases to 50 or even 60 percent.
Finally, let’s say that if healing does not go according to plan, there is severe pain, irritation, redness, rashes, or your health worsens, you should immediately contact a specialist!
Instructions for use
The ointment is a product for external use; it is not used for mucous membranes, applied only to the skin. Before applying the drug, the surface must be washed and dried.
The instructions for use of both types of Boro Plus ointment prescribe to check the reaction on an undamaged area of skin before use. This will help avoid severe allergic reactions.
Important: to achieve the desired effect, regular use of the drug is necessary.
Adults
The ointment is applied 2 times a day, for severe skin lesions - 3 times. The ointment is absorbed well, no bandages are needed. The duration of the course is about 2 months. In case of significant damage, the doctor will help you determine a course of treatment, adjusting the duration of therapy.
If the ointment is used by a nursing mother to treat the nipples, it is necessary to wash the breasts well before feeding.
Children
For children, applying the product 1-2 times is enough. Regular use is recommended for 2-3 weeks. Depending on the dynamics of the change in condition, the pediatrician will recommend the need for a repeat course.
How long should I apply to the tattoo and with what ointment?
According to the rules, a tattoo should heal in the open air, so while at home, it should not be wrapped or bandaged. Caring for a fresh tattoo after removing the primary bandage is simple - wash it regularly with clean water and antibacterial soap, prevent dust and dirt from getting on the surface, and apply an ointment recommended by the tattoo artist. The ointment must be special so as not to damage the pigment and contour of the tattoo. Usually lubricated with bepanthen, D-panthenol or simply panthenol. In this case, it is better to use an ointment rather than a gel or spray.
For a month and a half you need to forget about visiting the pool, bathhouse, sauna - the water used there is chlorinated, and this can greatly harm the healing skin and will etch even very good paint.
If the healing of the surface takes a long time and is extremely painful, then you will have to forget about the solarium and the beach. Even after the healing process, when visiting beaches and solariums, you need to smear the surface of the tattoo with a cream with protective filters to protect it from fading. Fading occurs from the action of ultraviolet rays.
Clothes that have dried on the tattoo should be soaked, removed, and the tattoo should be treated as always.
For those with sensitive skin that is very difficult to heal, you need to immediately find out which ointment to use. Otherwise, healing will be painful.
The surface of the skin where the tattoo was made is constantly treated with cream or special ointment. This is especially true when taking a shower and doing physical exercise.
Additional recommendations
If irritation or hypersensitivity occurs, you should stop using the drug and wait until the condition improves. Perhaps there is an individual intolerance to the components.
Boro Plus ointment is recommended to be used within the expiration date, which is 5 years. It should be stored at constant temperature and humidity, out of the reach of children.
No negative reactions were found when used together with other drugs.
Sun rays, hygiene procedures and a new tattoo
In summer, exposure to sunlight should be avoided. Especially at the initial stage. When going out into the sun, you should cover your tattoo with sterile stickers.
Sunscreen should not be used in this area. Taking long baths or showers is not recommended. This is only necessary to ensure that the skin does not wrinkle and the tattoo does not deteriorate. Spend no more than ten minutes on hygiene procedures at first. Saunas or swimming pools should be postponed until later, because water purified with chlorine is contraindicated for you. It will have a detrimental effect on the tattoo. Don't be alarmed if your skin becomes crusty. This forms a defensive reaction. This process is considered natural. If less moisture is applied to this area, then the healing process will occur faster. You should not remove the crust; it should come off on its own. If it is severely itchy, you do not need to scratch it. It is even recommended not to touch it at all to avoid infection. The color of the pattern may change due to scratching.
Reviews
“I use purple Boro cream against hard crusts on my elbows. The smell leaves much to be desired, but the elbows are noticeably softer. It does not leave greasy marks, although the consistency is thick and the cream spreads in a thick layer. The tube is small, I use it until the end, then take a break. The elbows remain soft for quite a long time, then I buy a new one.”
- Anna, 48 years old. “My lips dry out and crack in the cold. I bought Boro Plus green cream and applied it all winter. At the same time I used it against herpes on the lip and under the nose. Well relieves burning and inflammation from herpes. It’s cheap, which sets Boro apart from its peers.”
- Martha, 24 years old. “When I bake pies, I constantly touch the edges of the oven with my hands. I bought Boro Plus ointment for my daughter for acne, but she rejected the cream. For burns, it relieves the burning of the skin and the redness around it. Now I use it myself.”
- Inga. “Suitable for absolutely any occasion. I gradually got rid of all other remedies - before there were ointments for burns, bites, and cuts. Now I have replaced all of them with purple Boro cream. It doesn't smear very well as it is dense. Many people complain about this. But this is not a face cream that needs to be applied over a large area, but a medicinal product.”
- Marina. Reviews about both types of ointment are mostly positive. Boro Plus solves skin problems well without the negative effects on the body of antibiotics or hormones, which are widely used in many other drugs. A wide spectrum of activity makes Boro able to eliminate the most common skin problems without causing harm to the body.
Complaints are usually related to the consistency and unpleasant smell for some, but the cream solves medicinal problems well. Preventive use of ointment provides the skin with a well-groomed appearance, elasticity, firmness and freshness.
