Help!

Hi I'm new to this site. So I got a tattoo about 2 weeks ago and now I have a red rash around it and it itches. I went to the er just to make sure everything was fine and they told me I had allergic dermatitis. I think I'm allergic to aquaphor because it happened to my other tattoo on my wrist that I got 3 weeks ago but the rash went away. Anyways my question is will the allergic dermatitis go away from the tattoo on my ankle???

Yes, it's just a matter of if it will remove/damage a lot of ink through the infection and healing process...

Thanks. I went to the dr and he prescribed me prednisone, hydroxyzine and pepcid. Is it safe to take hydroxyzine with pepcid at the same time?

A similar rash happened to my first tattoo, I found out that I was allergic to Lanolin which is an ingredient in a lot of lotions and creams. Mine went away a few days after I stopped using the lotion that had it. I hope your rash clears up soon!

Thanks. I've had for 3 days so I'm hoping it goes away soon. It's my 5th tattoo but my first time using aquaphor.
