White, Itchy Bumps On Leg, No Puss. Treatment?

Hi I have white hard itchy bumps on my leg only on my tattoo. The tattoo is 4 years old and it healed fine I ve never had a problem with it before until about 6 months go when these bumps started popping up! I ve itched them until they open and there s no fluid or puss inside them just hard skin . What are they and how do I get rid of them?

You need to consult a dermatologist. The treatment would be keratolytic therapy provided they are patches of hyperkeratinisation.
