soderpopzzz Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 tattoo is 3 months old and i've read keloids take 3 months to show up. i've never had a keloid before so i didn't think i'm prone to them and i know keloids from tattoos, while not impossible, are pretty rare. the circled areas are where scarring occurred from tattoo and normally i don't care, but lately these seem red and maybe more raised, i'm concerned.

SStu Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Not familiar with keloid development. I'd just keep an occasional eye on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soderpopzzz Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 I think it might actually just be irritated scar tissue from the antibacterial soap I’ve been using on the new one right next to it. But check out my post about that, can you give me your input? It’s such a small tattoo yet having a rougher heal 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SStu Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Soap won't cause a scar, and especially on a 3 month old tattoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
