I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield to promote healing. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
Thanks for posting the photos. I do not recommend using acid to remove tattoos. I know you may be trying to save money by avoiding laser, but burning the tattoo off with acid will leave scars and skin damage in the exact shape of the tattoo. Not to mention any ink that is deep in the skin will still be there and may remain visible. Your best bet is for laser tattoo removal. I don't think the area looks infected but the skin is certainly damaged and at risk. I recommend you obtain a consultation with a dermatologist.
Bad Idea to try to remove a tattoo at home. Could cause severe complications, scars, infection etc. if you have already made the mistake getting a tattoo that you don't like, don't make a second mistake by trying to take it off yourself!
This is sometimes a side effect of treatment, however, it has been our experience with time, topical creams and sometimes laser therapy all performed by board certified dermatologists this condition will resolve.
