How can i stop a tattoo from itching?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Topical creams: If the tattoo is older and itching you may have an allergy to the ink. This is most common with red inks. Provided it is well healed a topical steroid cream 1% hydrocort found over the counter will help. If it looks infected with puss or oozing see a doctor
