Painful Red Lump After Tattoo,applied A&D.
I just recently got a tattoo on Sunday, kept applying A&D for a week because i thought i was supposed to do so had a little red lump near it. Went to the tattoo place, the guy said oh you shouldnt have applied it so long its just a pimple . Well I tried to pop it and now two days later it hurts so bad and i have no idea if it really is a pimple. Please Help... Here s a picture .. WWW.WWWW.WW

Hi there.
Thanks for the query.
Usually tattoos need 5-7 days of Antibiotic. Also avoid water falling on the tattooed area. You can apply the antibiotic on the popped pimple as of now but before that kindly apply pressure on it if it is bleeding. This should stop the bleeding. After bleeding stopped you can apply antibiotic ointment for 7 days.
Eat a balanced diet. Drink 1-2 litres of water daily. Avoid touching, scratching or removing the scabs from the tattoo. Let the scabs fall of naturally.
Wishing good health.
Regards,
