What does it mean when small itchy white bumps appear around a new tattoo?
ink clogged poresI truly doubt that it's ink clogged pores, it's much more likely that you are having a reaction to whatever you are using on your new tattoo. Many tattooists recommend an antibiotic ointment, as do I, but some may not know that neosporin and triple antibiotic contain neomyacin, which some people are allergic to...Which can cause exactly the conditions you describe...Discontinue using the ointment you are using and switch to lubriderm, a white lanolin and cetyl alcohol based skin moisturizer...You should have no further problems...Hope this helps........
You had an infected lip piercing and you got antibiotics and you just jave finished the course and there is still a bit of discharge what do you do?
Continue to clean it with the natural sea salt and if its still not healthy in a week, maybe use antibiotic cream on it. Neosporin is a good example. Just be sure to get the cream and not the ointment. The ointment is like vaseline and much too thick for piercings. When you use any creams, rub them in completely. Don't cake them up around the piercing because it'll stop the piercing from draining properly.
Can a blackberry thorn puncture cause infection?
It is possible to get an infection in any open wound if not treated, but if you wash it with soap and water, put some triple antibiotic ointment on it then bandage it, it should be fine. If you notice it gets inflammed (red around the wound) consult a doctor.

What to put on a rash around the tattoo?
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.
