Cover up tattoo on calf. A week ago today noticed greenish clear pus bump on it. Washed as usual with antibacterial soap, but piece of tattoo and skin came off. Switched from store brand lotion to aquaphor earlier and put bactine on raw patch. Curious how to home treat this.
Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. You most probably are suffering from skin infection due to tattooing. If a patient with these symptoms come to my clinic then I would suggest the following:> Keep wound as clean as face.> Change Chat Doctor. > Use poly fax plus ointment and rub over the wound.> Use acetaminophen for pain & fever (if occurs)You need to visit nearby hospital for further treatment & antibiotic cover if:> Wound does not start improving in 3-4 days> Wound gets worst> Any other unusual symptom appears. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
