Painful White Spots On Tattoo On Calf. Used Bepanthen And Aqueous BP Cream
I got a tattoo on my calf nearly 4 weeks and it had just about healed 2 days ago. Within the last day or so i appear to have 5/6 painful white spots that look like they need popping but they are very sore to touch. I have other tattoos that haven t had this sort of reaction before. I used bepanthen on my others but on this one i used bepanthen as well Aqueous BP cream.

Thanks for the query posted.
from the description of the lesions it looks like you have got a secondary pustular infection on the area of tattoo .
You should apply an antibiotic like Mupirocin which you can get as a prescription from the Dermatologist or GP .
Please do book an appointment for the same as a clinical assessment of the lesion will also help.
Thanks and take care
