Tattoo On Left Arm, Breaking Out. Used Lotion. Any Treatment?
I got a tattoo about a month ago on the outside of my left arm. After about a week i started noticing some breaking out. After reading online I thought maybe it was the lotion I was putting on it so I stopped putting anything on it to see if it would help. After a week of nothing they breaking out was still there. It has also started moving to my armpit some and down my left side (just few under armpit and then a line of about 3 bigger pimples down my side.) I have not been doing anything different (new soaps, deodorant, etc.)
