Is it new? If so, it should hurt a little, and if you used soap, it probably does burn. After all, there's thousands of tiny puncture wounds in that area, so yea. However, if it hurts and it's already healed and you've had it for a while, go to the doctors. Even if it isn't serious, it's still good to get it checked out. Tattoos are risky business to begin with, so make sure you do everything you can to make sure it's healthy. Good luck.

Its been awhile, but my son had one, I don't know what the company would do or say, but I think you would of felt if it was broken too far in (like burning) and it depends on how long ago did you go in? Ask a nurse. Because it does happen, and your gonna stay worried until you talk to someone.

It could be razor burn but if you are really not sure you should go see a doctor  and they will let you know if it is warts or razor burn

severe heat or strong acid/base will burn them right off.  Anything that leaves a scar will alter them.

Q. Why is my Tattoo Peeling and Flaking Off?\nFrom Karen Hudson,\nYour Guide to Tattoos / Body Piercings.\nFREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now!\nA.\nPeeling and flaking of a new tattoo is perfectly normal. Before it actually begins to peel, the tattoo will look like it's covered with a whitish, cracking film. Then you'll see white or translucent flakes of old, dead skin start to peel off and some of the flakes may even contain some ink. Sometimes you can actually see a duplicate image of part of your tattoo peeling off - it's rather disconcerting, but it is also perfectly normal and there is no need to panic. It's a lot like a snake shedding its skin. Just add a little lotion (a LITTLE) to the tattoo to help keep it moist and encourage those flakes to come off. Do NOT scratch, pick or peel them. It will all be done in a few days and the color of your tattoo will start to return to normal.

Yes that is normal. You said your self you got the cartalidge peirced, that is the most sensitive tissue because its thicker. It takes a while to heal. So it while be painful, maybe even up to a year after. Just keep it clean so it doesnt get infected, that would hurt worse.

you might end up with a rash...but to avoid it...clean off the area with soap and water after it has come into contact with the skin...

The cleaning may be causing the problem! Once a piercing is healed your normal daily bath or shower is enough.Extra cleaning may irritate the skin. You say sea salt and saline solution-saline IS a salt solution,so you are using an irritating hypertonic solution as well. With no discharge, redness or tenderness I can positively say it's not infected.

Sop removes the skins protective oils, so it can lead to problems.  Also, soap residue is very drying and maybe even caustic, so if its not properly rinsed, it may burn.\n\nIf she's scrubbing too much, she may be suffering from a psychological disorder.  \n\nShe will likely get over it, after her skin gets too sensitive, she'll probably cut back on it.

If the burning just started, your feeling is probably coming back.\n\nIf you have NOT consulted your surgeon about this, what are you waiting for?  Call them now.

If this is a lot worse than your usual dry skin, I would definitely avoid any exfoliants or scrub stuff.  Some of the other answers on this question worried me, so I thought I would respond.\nDoes it look infected?  If this is WAY worse than usual, you could possibly have an infection.  Is it painful?  Is it extremely red?  \nI would use antibiotic ointment and not wash your face for a few days.  If it gets worse, see a doctor.

My oldest brother had an allergic reaction to black ink in his tatoo, ended up staying in the hospital for two months on iv meds to get over the effects of the ink. But the kicker is that he had already had three previous tattoos, you can develop an allergy at anytime,as your body is always changing.

I've heard of this before from my girlfriend. Hers looked kind of like razor burn. When I asked her about it she told me it was because when you rip the hair out and the follicle bleeds it has to repair itself so she'll have the bumps for a couple of days after waxing. You may want to call up the place you had it done though and ask them if this is normal. You could be having a reaction to one of the ingredients in the wax or lotion or something else they used. If they say it is and it doesn't go away after a couple of days, I would consult another professional waxing place and/or a dermatologist. Good Luck

I think you shouldn't, because there's a chance that scar tissue might form at the tattoo site and ruin it. Anyway, you may want to consult a dermatologist regarding this question for further advise.

if you mean the scar that leaves the ugly mark and then it hurts, then i think it is possible that the wound is not yet totally healed. however, if it is from a surgery or a suture, and then it hurts, regardless of how long the mark has been then, i suppose you should see a doctor. it might be sign of some infection or something.

Definitely, get it looked at by a doctor ASAP.  It could be the start of skin cancer which is easily treatable if not left too long.  If left it can spread and be deadly.  Not trying to scare you, but overexposure, particularly burning and lingering coloured spots point to something not right.  Rule it out right away...
