Suggest Remedy For Skin Ailment

Hi Dr. Me and my best friend got matching tattoo s on the 12th of July we both have bug bites around them that has driven us mad with the itchiness it s releasing though it is is only around our tattoo s it s causing our tattoo s not to heal correctly and making the ink bleed out. We also got a color that isn t normally used could it be a skin reaction to the tattoo color we picked?

Hi
According to your complaints it seems to be a reaction to the ink used in tatoo making.
I would recommend you to apply cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
