Large Bump Under Tattoo

5 messages · last activity 7/5/2010

I recently got my tattoo on the 22nd of June and during the healing process some bumps formed around the edge, and this lump started forming. I read here that it might be due to an allergic reaction to A&D ointment, biactrin, or the lubriderm lotion i was using. I'm really concerned about what this might be, so i would be very grateful if anyone could help..
Hey- I looked at your pic and have to say it looks like you have some kind of cystic reaction I would say that you really should go see a md about it. I never seen anything like this and would be curious to see what they (md) says.
See a doctor. Could be a cyst, boil, staph or other type infection!!!
yup go see doc could be a simple cist or a hair that got pounded in.if artist did not shave area before tattoo best bet is that it is a hair ingrown either way should see doc just to be safe that is there job,and they see this more than we do.keep us posted fucking numbers! lol
Keep us posted. It may possibly be a form of staph. Hope it is an ingrown hair...but keep us posted and best of luck.
