ok so i got a tattoo on my calve,the tattooist said leave bandaged over night and then take off the wrap he put on and take shower let dry then put on tatwax or a&d  . i did but seemed to be really tender, got another tattoo 3 days later on the arm and went on thinkin that it was just healin, staed lookin red around edges and hurt  a week later   i started puttin hydrogen peroxide on it to clean it and noticed it bubbled  but then got another on the hand  next day that became infected. what could have caused this sex  wearing dirty clothes pickin up pant leg possibly dirty sheets??? i dont know??

so i went in cause i started gettin bumps by the tattoo and it was still tender,plus my back was startin to hurt, the doc looked and said it was infected and put me on clindamycinhcl 300mg capsules 4times a day, and bactrobannasal 2%nasal ointment2times a day, i am not to sure on how to use the bactoban , put half way in nostrol and squeeze half in each then massage nostril and remove the exces????

  My other is what can i do to get rid of these, i wash with zest, let air dry then put betadine on it and cover with a gause pad and wrap as not to pass it or get anything else, my friend said also to take a bath an soak in warm water with bakin soda in it
