I Got A Red Bump Popped Up On My Shoulder. What Could Be This ?
I got a tatoo on my left shoulder a week ago, i put a&d ointment on it and i started breaking out in a rash and stopped using it, since then exactly a week after getting it a red bump popped up on my shoulder, looks like a pimple, sore and red circle around it, then the next day one popped up on my arm, same symptoms, the bump is sore and is warm. Any suggestions ?

hi,thanks for query.This could be some local allergic reaction and infection.Redness and warmth suggest that there is some active inflammation going on.Please see a doctor and get this treated in time,you may local as topical anti biotic and anti allergic tablets for this.
