Hi...i've recently had cellulitis due to a reaction/infection from a tattoo. i'm healed now, but, left with redness around the tattoo. what could i do?

Be patient.: Infections like this can be followed by some residual redness and even what we call post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation. These issues can take a few weeks to clear. Be patient, and see if it continues to clear on its own. The important part is that the infection is adequately treated primarily.
