If you are talking about the size usually it is a smaller size such as a 27 or 25 gauge.  And yes as the idiot said before me...it is a sterile one...lol.The length is 1inch to 1 1/2 inches.

I use an australian plant named "radium", the other name is milkweed. It works wonders, you put it on the skin lesion twice a day for a week, and it should be completely removed. It may sting a little at times, but you'll be glad for the removal, and it leaves the area very clean (as long as you do it until the lesion falls off. :)

a steristrip is a dressing used to anchor wounds together. They are best used on superficial, clean cuts. Often used in conjunction with intradermal sutures.

I had a numb little toe and accupuncturist placed a needle on my forehead.  Did it couple of times. It did not help.  It eventually went away on it's own.  Don't waste your money.

there are really no pain free lancing devices, but the best ive found so far in the 7 years ive been a diabetic is the ascensia breeze, you can set the level of the needle...there is one more type that uses a syringe type that is supposed to be a little more comfortable...but you have to rember that your poking the skin, youre going to feel a pinprick.after a while you get used to it...good luck

Needle size is unique to the user and is all based on comfort. Talk to your doctor and get his / her recommendation based on your weight, body size, etc. \nGiven the 2 sizes that you have listed, the 5/16" would be the shorter of the two. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

heavy twine or leather laces. a large needle and an awl. never done it but i think that would be a good start. you also might think about pressure gloves quilters use them to keep arthritis from setting in which is a big problem if you sew leather by hand. if you use a machine just make sure it will handle leather before you buy it broken needles suck

I'm a huge Neosporin fan. It is made in a cocoa butter base which allows natural healing of the new skin, hence the name neo-sporin. Tattoo artists to plastic surgeons alike recommend it. Good stuff.

I use...\nHydrogen Peroxide, and then keep the wound clean.  Also it is not indicated for deep wounds.  Mainly for surface or small cuts , etc..\n\nNOTE  NOTE>>  Triple Antibiotic Ointment is generic Neosporin, so following the advice below will be a problem for you.

no creams... sorry. But there is one option if you are not afraid of needles. Your doctor can inject a very low dose steroids directly into the scar and this stops the cells from growing and sometimes it even brings it back to normal... It's up to you to decide if it's worth a try... good luck!

No. Acupuncture needles are hair-thin, smooth and solid hypodermic needles are thicker, hollow and have cutting edges.

laser and removal are your only options. laser isnt always 100 percent effective. removla is basically just that...the tattooed part or your flesh is actually cut off of your body and your flesh is grafted back together to cover the area. ouch = ) coverups are most effective....no matter how bad a tattoo turned out or how much you may dislike it now- a good artist can do something to it to where its more appealing
