A member asked:

My tattoo is itching horribly, should i be putting some cream on it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Itchy ink: Itching after a new tattoo is most likely due to the healing process and can be minimized by use of a thick moisturizer in ointment form, such as Aquaphor or equivalent. Itching associated with pain and redness is suggestive of an allergic reaction or an infection, and warrants an evaluation by a healthcare practitioner.
