Itchy Raised Bumps Under Tattoo Pigment, Clear Discharge When Itched. Lotions, Cortisone Creams Ineffective. Opinions?

I have raised bumps under the purple pigment in my tattoo. Its not covering the entire tattoo, just the purple colored areas. It does not come and go, it has been there for months now and I cannot afford to go to a dermatologist. Lotion, cortisone cream, etc does nothing to it. Its very itchy and I try not to itch it but when I do itch it, certain spots about the size of the head on a pin, will bleed and have a clear discharge. Also, after it starts bleeding, it looks like theres a perfectly round small hole where its bleeding from. Nothing comes to a head. No white spots, no pimple like spots, just knotty bumps . They are not painful at all, not even after itching. Any thoughts???

this can be allergic to purple color as many persons have allergy to colors that is why you are getting under purple color and till you remove you will be having it
try not to use this color in future
presently use doxy 100 mg bd for 5 days
tab allegra 120 mg bd
apply clindamycin mixed with diprovate over area you can continue for 3 wk
take lot of warm water
