I have an infected new tattoo. Went to urgent care today and the PA who saw me didn t sound confident in anything he was saying, barely looked at my arm, didn t ask me any questions, looked up some answers online, then prescribed me some oral antibiotics and wished me luck. To say the least, I m unsure and still worried. A portion of my tattoo is clearly yellow underneath the skin, probably pus and also visibly blood as well. I asked if I should still wash with soap or if I should keep it dry? Do I put any ointment on.. Do I cover and bandage up or leave it open? He wouldn t give me any straightforward answers, his answer was I would stick with normal procedure... I d shower normal... Help?
