It seemed flat after the first week then became raised. I thought it was healing well as it didn't blister or anything. It is still itchy now 4 weeks on. Pic may not show how raised it is but it can be felt when you run your finger over it
I had a tattoo laser treated by a q switched laser 3 times and had what my doctor diagnosed as a systemic reaction 2 times and was advised to stop laser treatment, which I did. It is now 7 months later and I am still getting hives itchy and sometimes not at the tattoo site and on a few random spots on my body. My question is when will this stop? My next question is am I still able to get another tattoo? My doctor has never seen this kind of reaction before so neither question have been answered.
I had my first session of tattoo removal done 2 week ago. I'm getting 2 removed. Both have been healing really well until a few days ago when the intense itching began. Then one on my wrist has now turned red and the lines on the tattoo are risen and red...The one on my forearm is doing the same, some parts are risen and some parts have little bumps all over it (quite a big tattoo) and on some spots the skin looks really shiny. Does this sound normal? Or should I be concerned?
2 weeks ago I had my first laser tattoo removal session on my side of a script tattoo. Some of the lines are almost completely gone but the dark ink within the letters is raised and extremely itchy. Is this a normal part of the healing process? Or am I having an allergic reaction? When can I expect the raised skin to go down? I must note that I didn't blister.
I had a tattoo removal session with a q switched laser 8 weeks ago. 6 weeks ago I developed hives/swelling in lips and eyes lids and was put on steriods for 3 weeks. Now I am only on antihistamines 2 times a day bit I still have hives that come and go on my tattooed wrist, other arm and sometimes torso. My skin has been itchy as well for the past three weeks. Will this every go away? How much longer will this go on for? My GP doesn't seem to know anything about why I am experiencing this?
