Hi there, I got my eyebrows tattooed on Monday. They have become swollen and super itchy with little red bumps around them. Is that normal or a sign of an insetting infection? And depending whonu talk to some pol say to use polysporin and some say not to. Any ideas?

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.
Tattooing resulted in allergic reaction. It will take some time to settle. Meanwhile i would suggest you following things:
> Take levocetirizine one at night for 5 days.
> Take acetaminophen for pain & fever
> Keep that area clean.
> Do not touch with dirty hands.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow

Wishing you good health.
