Scar Tissue
by lele889, Oct 21, 2009 08:11PM
Hello,
About a year ago I got a tattoo. The tatto wasn't dark enough it was too light to the point where when it went through it's healing process the ink was peeling off. So I called and told the tattoo artist and he said call him back once the scab feel off and so I did. Which was about a week. I went back he started coloring it in with the same colors he used before. When he went over this particular area I told him that it was hurting and he stopped. Long story short I have a line of raised itchy scar tissue. The tattoo looks ok but the raised scar tisue is what is noticable. This makes me dislike the tattoo. Is there anything possible that I could do and if so what it is?
Thank You in Advance

The scar should be evaluated by a plastic surgeon or dermatologist to see if it can be reduced with steroid injections.
