Whitehead Pimple Like Bumps Near The Tattoo On Leg, Spreading On Other Leg, Arm. History Of Scratch By Dog Opening A Piece Of Tattoo. Serious?
About 2 weeks ago, I got a tattoo done on my leg. About 4 or 5 days in my dog and I were playing and he scratched a little piece of the tattoo open. The next day I had these little white head pimple like bumps near the tattoo but then it started to spread on to my other leg and arm. I was wondering if I should be concerned and go to see a doctor.
