Tattoo complications in treated and non‐treated psoriatic patients
Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology Apr 03, 2020
Grodner C, Beauchet A, Fougerousse AC, et al. - Researchers conducted this multicentre cross‐sectional study to assess the frequency of tattoo complications in individuals with psoriasis and ascertain if the occurrence of complications was correlated with psoriasis status and treatments received at the time of tattooing. Consecutively, adults with psoriasis were included, and listed as tattooed or non-tattooed. Pruritus, oedema, allergic reaction/eczema, infection/superinfection, granuloma, lichenification, photosensitivity, Koebner phenomenon and psoriasis flare after tattooing were included complications. They involved 2,053 psoriatic patients, 20.2% had 894 tattoos. The rate of tattoo complications in patients with psoriasis was low. While the risk of complications among patients with psoriasis that needed care at the time of tattooing was greatest, all of the complications reported were benign. Such findings may be helpful for physicians in offering patients accurate knowledge. No severe complications have been identified.
