What kind of treatment can i use on a tattoo rash?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergy: You are probably reacting to a dye in your tattoo, and these reactions are mostly seen with red dye. This is going to be a chronic problem. Potent topical steroids can help momentarily, but i think you need to see a dermatologist eventually to laser it off.
