A member asked:
A wk ago got a tattoo on my neck. my neck lymph nodes r swollen but the tattoo is healing great. is it infected? when should i seek medical attention?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lymphadenitis?: If the tattoo area itself isn't swollen, red, or especially painful, this is probably just nonspecific lymph node inflammation related to the trauma and healing of the tattoo. But if any of these, or if the neck swellings are enlarging, very tender, have overlying redness, or if any fever, see a doctor immediately. Or see a doctor if in doubt.
