Hi, I have just had laser treatment on a huge dense tattoo which contains white ink and mostly black , after a week I felt itchiness from all over the body not even the treated sites like hell, I can't bare the itchiness so I just scratch all over the body for 24/7 can't even sleep for 3 days now Butt, arm, head, neck , feet , hands literally everywhere ... is this a serious allergic reaction to tattoo removal ? Should I stop laser treatment? But I can't I really have to remove this horrible.
