Can Cramps From Shoulder To Hand Be Symptom Of Tattoo Infection?

I had a tattoo on my shoulder 5 days ago. It is not red or pussy, it is scabbing a lot. Anyway last night I started getting cramps from my shoulder to my hand. Paracetemol seemed to help. I just wondered if this is normal or a symptom of an infection. Thanks.

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

No tattoo never causes cramps and pain.

It must be something else. Tattoo is only superficial. It never reaches to deep to cause pain.

I suggest you to take paracetamol under your doctors guidance. You can apply polysporin powder under your doctors guidance.

Please maintain good hygiene as it is equally important in preventing infection.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
