Treatment modalities for allergic reactions in pigmented tattoos
2007
Summary
Decorative tattoos have become very popular. As a result, a higher number of hypersensitivity reactions are seen, caused by the mostly undeclared tattoo dyes. If local and intralesional therapy with corticosteroids is not effective, total excision was formerly considered the best approach. Selective laser therapy offers an alternative approach for removing the offending pigment. Case reports are used to illustrate the individual treatment options for removal of tattoos.
