After a few days, the tattooed area continuously oozed yellow fluid and some areas became honey-colored crusts with more pain, so the woman went to the Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital for examination.
On September 29, Master - Doctor Le Thao Hien (Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital) said that the patient had infected dermatitis and was prescribed oral antibiotics, oral anti-inflammatory drugs and topical medications. After 1 week, the tattooed area dried up and the pain and burning sensation decreased.
Previously, a male patient (14 years old, living in Dong Nai ) listened to an advertisement on social networks and hired a "tattoo artist" to come home and tattoo his chest. One month after the tattoo, the patient saw white spots appear on the tattooed area and then spread more, so he went to the Dermatology Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City for examination. The patient was diagnosed with molluscum contagiosum after tattooing. Molluscum contagiosum is one of the complications caused by viruses after tattooing. The patient was treated by scraping the skin lesion, after one week the skin healed well.

Tattoo complications are a complex issue.
According to Dr. Thao Hien, complications after tattooing are a complex problem and difficult to treat. Complications are divided into two types, acute and chronic. Acute complications often appear a few days to a few weeks after tattooing and are divided into groups such as post-tattoo inflammatory reactions including allergic contact dermatitis; photodermatitis; outbreaks of some inflammatory - autoimmune skin diseases (psoriasis, vitiligo, lichen planus...), infections (bacterial, viral, fungal) and the most serious is systemic infection - poisoning.
Meanwhile, chronic complications appear several months to several years after tattooing and are divided into groups such as typical or atypical tuberculosis infection; papulonodular rash; granulomatous reaction; scarring (keloids, pitted scars, unsightly scars) and even skin cancer.
The cause of infectious complications is due to the tattooing process not following the principles of sterility, the skin after tattooing is not properly cared for. Complications due to inflammatory reactions are mainly due to the body's allergic reaction to the material and color of the tattoo ink itself, some cases are due to the body already having autoimmune inflammatory skin diseases that have not been treated well such as psoriasis, vitiligo... In addition, scars after tattooing are due to the tattoo artist tattooing the ink too deep into the skin, due to the existing keloid scar constitution of the tattooed person.

Preventing complications after tattooing
Dr. Hien said that ways to prevent complications after tattooing include choosing a licensed tattoo shop, not getting too many ink colors, avoiding tattoos with colors that can easily cause allergies (red, orange, purple), treating autoimmune inflammatory skin diseases to stabilize before getting a tattoo. In addition, after tattooing, it is necessary to apply anti-inflammatory drugs, skin recovery drugs and avoid exposure to sunlight for at least 1-2 months after getting a tattoo.
If you have inflammatory - autoimmune skin diseases (psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, lichen...) or are infected in the area where you plan to get a tattoo, you must treat it before getting a tattoo... If you have any unusual symptoms, you need to see a dermatologist for treatment.
