sudden bumps under 5 yr. old tattoo
by brneyedgirl78, Nov 05, 2009 11:48AM
I got a tattoo about 5 years ago. Never noticed anything out of the ordinary with it. However, within the last 6 months I have noticed that all of a sudden there are numerous bumps under the tattooed area. They don't hurt or itch, but I am concerned since they have just appeared out of no where.

It can be sebaceous prominence or infected hair follicles. Allergic reaction to the dye after such a long time is less likely. Please keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful. In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed. Please consult a dermatologist in that case.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.
