What to do with this infected tattoo removal procedure? (photo)

June 3, 2018
Asked By:erzjaz in Atlantic City, NJ

It was my first session. My dermatologist said it wasn’t badly infected & just gave me antibiotic ointment to use on it (Mupirocin) & oral antibiotics as well but said nothing else. Do I keep it bandaged & what about the scarring? Is there anything else I need to know or do? Can I workout? It is located above my private area.
