What Do Rashes Around A Tattoo Indicate?
Hi, I ve been on lymecycline for roughly a year and in that time I have had tattoos which have healed sort of iffy in that they sometimes rash and look a bit like eczema. My tattoo artist mentioned that they could be linked and advised me to seek medical advice. Thank you

Hello,
It is due to a local reaction.
As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like Betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
