<human>: My husband got a tattoo about a week ago, he has been putting curel on it to keep it from drying out. He now has a horrible rash all around the tattoo and it is spreading! He has used curel before and has never had a problem with it. Just wondering what it is. Thank you
<bot>: Hi, Seems like your husband has developed an allergic reaction to the tattoo.First, you need to avoid applying any oils or creams over the affected area. You need to apply a topical steroid cream over the affected area twice a day. Give some oral antihistamines for the associated discomfort and to decrease the allergic reaction. Since your Husband has developed an allergic reaction this time, so there is a high possibility that he might develop such reactions every time he gets a tattoo done. Hope it helps Chat Doctor.
