Firstly you should rule out eczema. I have eczema like rashes that seem to ONLY fill in my tattoo area...Doctors have told me it is not related to the tattoo, however, I have read about people being allergic to types of ink. You will more than likely have a difficult time getting answers as tattoo shops will not provide info (or limited) and doctors seem to be less versed on these issues but do ask.

Try Tea Tree Oil. You can get this at any health food store, Walgreen's, and generally pharmacies will carry this also. It's 100% natural and has been used for generations to sooth and remedy rashes of all sorts. I also used the soap as well, although I'm not sure what good the soap did. Also, MOISTURIZE with no scents or fragrances and preferably hypoallergenic.

Hope this helps. I am not in the medical field but I came across this issue and this is what I know.

First off, determine what is causing your rash. If you are using an anti-biotic ointment such as triple antibiotic or neosporin then you may be allergic to neomyacin, one of the three parts of neosporin or triple a. Three out of every hundred people are allergic to neomyacin. You could be one of them.. Simply discontinue using the ointment will cause the rash to go away. Then use a good skin moisturizer, such as lubriderm. Hope this helps............
