What Is The Remedy For Extremely Hard, Painful Pimple On The Area Of Tattoo ?

A few weeks ago, I got my first big tattoo on my thigh. I ve done everything possible to keep it clean, healthy, and in proper condition. I noticed my skin was breaking out from the heavy amounts of Aquaphor, an ointment for skin repair, and I figured that if I kept up the proper cleaning routine the pimples would just go away. Well, I thought wrong. There is one pimple that has become extremely large. It is extremely painful and the area around the whitehead of the pimple is hard. I m already taking antibiotics but they aren t helping and I don t want to ruin my beautiful tattoo. Could this be more than just an ifected pimple? What should I do?
