I got a tattoo a little over a year ago in the middle of my shoulders and the base of my neck.a lump as developed at the base of my neck and in the middle of my shoulders.there is no pain but some stiffness when I bend my head back.im making acdoctors appointment soon.just wondered your thoughts on this
Hi, Dear , thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your query in-depth and I feel concerned about it. In my opinion-the lump with shoulder stiffness is due to mild infection-after the tatto-possibility of chronic infection is there. I would suggest consulting Surgeon who would treat it with antibiotics and NSAIDs-if it does not resolve, CBC,FBS, pps studies and excision of the chronic lump with chronic infection is needed. Hope This would solve your query. Wellcome again for any more query
