How To Cure Pimple/rash Caused After Tattooing On Shoulder?
I got a tattoo on my shoulder around 5 days ago for a tattooist I use frequently. I have come up in a small pimple/rash around the area of the tattoo but not on the tattoo itself, the area isn't sore but occasionally itches I used bapathan to heal my tattoo which is what I've used for all my other tattoos but have never had this problem before

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
At times, you can develop an allergic reaction to the tattoo especially if it is a colored tattoo containing red or green pigments. You could use a cream containing hydrocortisone twice a day for about 10 days.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
