Skin infection
I got a tattoo in my left arm two months back. My skin was ok just after I got the tattoo. But after a week, I started having rashes around the area. I took medicines and antibiotics. But it's not healed properly I guess. I have developed rashes in some other body parts too like my right hand , near my abdomen too. It's been two months now still I have some rashes around the tattoo area
