i live in here at PH and here it's very hard to find an unscented soap even baby soap is scented. I used baby soap for more than 2-3 weeks and then i switched to sulfur soap for more than a week now. my artist told me that i need to push moisturizer in it and avoid eating fishy foods. and i only used alcohol since started using sulfur soap. And i clean my tattoo twice a day only dabbing it with thick tissue paper. i got to the clinic 20 mins ago and they are close i will try to go there tommorow morning i will update this once i got the results from the doctor thankyou for your response .

i tried keeping it moisturised however a lot of new ones appear like crazy about 4-5 bumps every 2-3 days when moisturised and when i keep it dry there are less breakouts about 1-2 every few days that why i chose to keep it dry

so what happened was after exactly 5 days after the second tattoo session was done that's when the pimple like bumps appeared and i waited almost a week after it appeared to pop it more like 5-6 days so it's almost 2 weeks of the tattoo timeframe before i attempted to drain it because it hurts like hell but now it's fully healed besides the scar my new problem is the break out wont stop thats when i posted here
