A member asked:
What can cause a small lentigo to form on my foot tattoo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Read below: If the tatoo is new this may not be lentigo, but a reaction to the procedure or infection with an increase in melanin to the area from the trauma to the skin of the tatoo. If lentigo, see your dermatologist of podiatrist for a biopsy to make sure this is the benign form.
