Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic

You have most likely developed Allergic Contact Dermatitis/ ACD to Tattoo ink, as suggested by red rashes, and fluid filled lesions at the exact site of a tattoo.
ACD can be delayed because you body was probably getting sensitized to the allergen i.e tattoo ink before mounting an allergic response.
I guess it must be itchy too.
The cream that you have inquired about in this query is a topical antifungal and I would not advocate it for your skin problem.
If I was the treating doctor I would have suggested you to us a topical potent steroid+antibiotic combination cream, twice daily at this site for 5-7 days.
An example of such a combination is a cream containing clobetasol propionate 0.05% & mupirocin 2% Or fusidic acid.
An OTC oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10 mg once daily will provide you symptomatic relief from itching.

Regards
