How To Treat Staph Infections From Tattoos?

i got a tattoo about two years ago. The color side of the heart I was told by a dermatologist that I am allergic to it. I decided I need to have it removed. Laser removal is not an option he said. But today there seems to see a spot with pus and it is red. Could it be a staph infection

Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.


Yes it may be a staphylococcus infection. If I was your treating physician I would have prescribed you Clindamycin oral, and topical triple antibiotic ointment, Plus Ibuprofen oral, and of course a follow up after a week.

You will get better. You just need to take a prescription of the above medications from your physician and start the regimen.


Hope I answered all of your questions. In future, if you need further, detailed and quick assistance on any health issue, feel free to ask me a question by writing my name as a reference in the start of your question. I will get back to you right away. Have a wonderful time ahead.
