Itching all over after tattoo removal, what can I do?

You may be having a systemic reaction. I recommend oral steroids before and after treatment with antihistamines to help. See an expert for an evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question in regards to tattoo removal. Itching can be one side effect after a laser tattoo removal treatment. Typically, itching would start to subside within two weeks, especially after being on an antibiotic. To be sure what is best for you, it is suggested to follow up with your provider in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

I would recommend scheduling an appointment with your doctor to have them take a look and see what medication or ointment they can give you to help reduce the irritation.
