Avatar f tn My girlfriend's tattoo is over two years old now but she's only just starting to get red bumps on the area of the tattoo. They've started spreading to around the area in the perfect shape of the tattoo (a moth). It's a recent occurrence though and in her old tattoo, not her new one.
Avatar m tn yea i did this tattoo on my arm, new needle new every thing, every thing was clean and sterile, but its been one day after that and its itching and has like little red bumps like on the out line maybe like 4 or 5, what i want to know since i been putting on triple antibiotic will it prevent infection ? or should i rush to the hospital, it not pusing or anything like that but it looks like lil red bumps like cuts but no blood. So will it be ok or what should i do?
Avatar f tn The skin on top of the bumps is flaking or shedding. I have had tattoo bumping in the past on both of my tattoos but I fixed that by changing to aveno scent and dye free ever since my first tattoo about 5 years ago.
Avatar f tn It started with my tattoo looked like it was coming off then it did but the ink was still in my skin so I still had the tattoo now I thought it was all healed but the next day I noticed growing bumps around my tattoo which I ignored and kept washing my tattoo two-theee times a day with anti bacterial soap then it got worse where my tattoo was just skinless??
Avatar f tn They itch a lot more when my foot gets hot, or if im in the sun. You cant see the bumps unless you feel the tattoo. A tattoo artist told me that it might be the red ink (it has mercury in it.) and some people have reactions to it, i dont want it to irritate me forever..
Avatar f tn I have nine other tattoos and never had this happen before. I got the new done on my forearm from a new tattoo shop where I live. His portfolio looked great and recommendations were good too. The day after I got it, it was red and swollen around but not on the tat. The swelling and redness spread. I had some leftover antibiotics from an infected scratch I had from a student at work. It helped. Then after a day or two, the actual tat became red and inflammed. It was hot tothe touch and painful.
1707296 tn?1307818572 My profile pic is the photo of the tattoo... the bumps that you see on my arm are the clearest.. they are all over tho now. I will go to a doctor if they don't go away by next week, but thought I would ask around first. Not sure if it is relevant, but I have gotten a case of pink eye right now too.
Avatar f tn I had previous tattoos in my arms about 4 years ago. My new tattoo is in my elbow. After it heald I noticed some rash around the tattoo and some bumps. I went to 2 dermatologist in the Philippines but it is still not better. They gave me soaps, lotions and cream but still no effect. The most effective was the dermovate but once I stop using the rash is back. Any suggestions? I am tired of it and it has been more than a month.
1341895 tn?1276123160 i got a tattoo (sun flowers, just the outline and grey-wash on my R ancle) on memorial day 2010 and the day after there were a couple red spots above the tattoo i hardly noticed them b/c my foot & ancle was so painfully swolen that i couldn't stand on it, and i belive the tat itself was a little weepy the swelling lasted a week. the next day (day 3 after the tat), there were hundreds, and the older ones had a white center,and raised.
303706 tn?1296876149 Ladies, help me out here. I don't have any stretchmarks on my stomach so far yet, but I do have some nasty dark ones on my breast (just the right one) its a few lines but very noticeable. I want to get a tattoo over it, but my babys dad said the ink won't stay that the tattoo is just going to look messed up and blurry. He's sleeved up and he has an area of stretchmarks where the ink is alot lighter than the other area...
Avatar n tn I got a tattoo on my neck a week ago on a Saturday. The healing process was going fine until Wednesday. I was using Cocoa butter as I have on all my other tattoos. Then on Wednesday I started breaking out under my tattoo and around it in small bumps that itched. Well as the days go by it is getting worse. The bumps are bigger and the itch is unbearable. I've stopped using the cocoa butter and have switched to an unscented lotion.
Avatar f tn Is there any proven facts that getting a new tattoo can harm my baby? I want a tatt on my shoulder pretty bad.
Avatar n tn ve had my tattoo for 7 years now and what looks like white bumps on the black part of the wings? I can see the bumps all around my arms just not the tattoo has anyone else had this should i be concerened?
1643712 tn?1300925082 and the last day I was out there, little bumps appeared on around the tattoo design. When getting back to my hometown, the little bumps are disappearing; but now where color is suppose to be; theres no color. its just my skin, as you can see in the picture I posted. I went to the hospital last night and the doctor said it looks like had a allergic reaction. The doctor told me to take benadyrl for the itching. I been using aquaphor to see if it will heal it quickly.
Avatar n tn t appear on the fingers/palms and that it is spreading make me doubt that now. I also recently got a new tattoo on my inner wrist which I think is having an allergic reaction to the red ink, but that is itchy and is confined to the actual tattoo so i think that is also unrelated. I picked up some hydrocortisone creme yesterday, no change so far.
Avatar n tn Im having a red rash bumps on my new tattoo about 10 days old....
Avatar m tn this is an ink allergic reaction, the photo showing how the purple parts of the tattoo healed. sadly, ink reactions are rare, but they do happen. is there any advice on how the skin may be treated in order to remove the bulge? loss of ink is not a problem, since that can be remedied at a later stage. the skin took all the other colours fine, except for the purple. any help and advice is greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn I got my 7th tattoo about 6 days ago on Sat. I was using aquaphor over my tattoo which I have aways used for the first few days after a tattoo. Well Sunday late afternoon I noticed a few tiny clear bumps around the boarder of the tattoo which basically covers most of my inner forearm. So I stopped using the aquaphor and just left the tattoo dry. The bumps multiplied to where they were tightly packed clusters of tiny clear bumps with redness surrounding the boarder of my tattoo.
2078380 tn?1331956349 after a while it spread into some of my tattoos and seem to collect mostly on the tattoo. IE, all the fine lines in the tattoo become raised and the skin around it almost unaffected. the tattoos will itch really bad and if you scratch them they will bleed. it is so hard not to scratch them it drives me insane! the bumps will disappear for months at a time for no reason then reappear. Many doctors have told me that they dont know what it is.
Avatar f tn red nautical on the front of my ride shoulder and last week I woke up with a rash on the tattoo. I tried several otc lotions and oinments and it only flared the rash even more. Finally, my mom gave me an anti fungul cream called Nystatin And its the only thing that's working. I just used it today and the rash isn't itching and I could see the bumps getting smaller. So if you can get your hands on an anti fungul cream, use it!
Avatar f tn Four days ago i noticed red bumps around my tattoo. Now some of the bumps are gone but where the bumps were my skin is all red. What can i do to get rid of the redness and the bumps?
Avatar m tn Initially I broke out with a rash on area colored red on my tattoo. The rash had disappeared for about 2 weeks then returned. Only difference is, it is no longer on the red but instead on the blue. It itches like crazy. The first time I had the rash I had squueezed the bumps and a watery substance had came out and there was no odor. It seems to be contained withing the tattoo because it doesn't go past the outline of the tattoo.
Avatar m tn I am 30 years old and I discovered these bumps on my penis over that past week. I got a new tattoo two weeks ago and had an allergic reaction to some lotion I was using, and had a fungal infection from that and shaving the area. The bumps did not appear on my penis until after I saw a doctor for the bumps on my back and arm so I didn't have a chance to ask.
Avatar f tn this is my second full color tattoo. its on my back and somewhat large. its going on the 3 weeks old. it itches-alot. skin not red if i dont scratch but it gets these little bumps on it. i can feel them but can only see them when i scratch.skin not hot, no sign of infection. scabs are gone there is some scaring but that came after the scabs dropped bc i scratched it.
Avatar m tn Hi I got a tattoo 6 months ago on my forearm, took great care of it but now the weather is starting to change and now i'm starting to develop little bumps on my arm. I have eczema and every couple years it starts to act up, but how am I supposed to know if it's just my eczema or something wrong with my tattoo. I have no allergies so i'm almost positive it's not the ink.
Avatar m tn But the woman had got a new tattoo the day before yesterday on her hands. So when masturbating me, her new tattoo must contact my penis. As far as I know tattoo has a lot of small open wounds on the surface,especially hers is a new one. So was I at risk? Need any test? I am really very concerned!
7615538 tn?1392668171 Im saying because I just seen alot of prego girls smoking cigarettes, and recently seen that a girl I know got a new tattoo... but since shes not showing at all yet im guessing she was able to fool the guy that did it for her..
Avatar f tn @mousey12 I know all of the people from the tattooshops i go to they all know I'm pregnant and still tattoo me. On the tattoo sheet you do not have to answer that question ! You can say no if they absolutely feel that they need it you won't get in any trouble your an adult its your body. And to all of you ladies when you all go to medical school for 6-7 years and get your degree let me know bc gating a tattoo does not harm your baby.
