First let me say I've never seen exactly that related to tattoos. Second, I am NOT a doctor, so take any advice with a grain of salt and follow it at your own risk.
I do have something like that which appears on my face from time to time. After multiple visits to the dermatologist, which didn't fix it, I finally came up with my own treatment. Whenever it flairs up, I just wipe the area down with plain rubbing alcohol three or four times a day to keep it dry. That usually works within a couple of days. Again, I'm not a doctor, but I don't think it would hurt anything for you to try that.
Good Luck.
Hey,
I have a serious problem!
I got a tattoo in Manila 4 weeks ago. The artist is very well known and is one of the most renowed.
2 day after tattooing, small pimples began to form on my thight an many at the tattoo.
3 days later i had fever at night (just at night). After that, the pimpels began to spread very quickly all over the body. (back stomach etc..)
I have now been to 3 doctors and everyone is at a loss. The blood work is fine and with no anomalies.
Antibiotic ointment and cortisone ointment did not help. Xyzall allergy tablets did not help either.
When i took cortisone tablets, 90% of the pimpels disappeared on the tattoo, but not on the other parts of the body.
Now that I´am no longer taking cortisone, the pimpels on the tattoo are starting to grow back again very quick.
On the other parts of the skin , the pimpels are sometimes lighter and sometimes stronger. This can be change hourly.
They don´t hurt and hardy lever itch.
Of course I´am afraid of a tattoo allergie.
Has anyone already had this problem ?
Does anyone know what that could be ?
I add photos:
1) Photo directly after tattooing.
2) 2 Photos with the pimpels after a week
3) After 3 weeks while taking cortisone.
4) Photo of the body on the left.
