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 Infectious diseases specialist, HCM.
