BeautyQueen Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hi I'm new to this site. So I got a tattoo about 2 weeks ago and now I have a red rash around it and it itches. I went to the er just to make sure everything was fine and they told me I had allergic dermatitis. I think I'm allergic to aquaphor because it happened to my other tattoo on my wrist that I got 3 weeks ago but the rash went away. Anyways my question is will the allergic dermatitis go away from the tattoo on my ankle??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdberetta Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Yes, it's just a matter of if it will remove/damage a lot of ink through the infection and healing process... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeautyQueen Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Thanks. I went to the dr and he prescribed me prednisone, hydroxyzine and pepcid. Is it safe to take hydroxyzine with pepcid at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moontattoo Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 A similar rash happened to my first tattoo, I found out that I was allergic to Lanolin which is an ingredient in a lot of lotions and creams. Mine went away a few days after I stopped using the lotion that had it. I hope your rash clears up soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeautyQueen Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Thanks. I've had for 3 days so I'm hoping it goes away soon. It's my 5th tattoo but my first time using aquaphor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
