Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
ive had my tattoo for 5 years now when I got it done I never got an infection and it healed really well but I have a small painful lump under the skin other tattoo artists have said the tattooer that did the ink went far to hard as all round the tattoo the ink has bled under the skin is there anything I can now do about the lump thanks
I don't think this has to do with the tattoo done 5 years ago. I think it is a skin infection that occasionally happened under tattoo. You may need to use oral antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
