Fresh tattoos may have caused keratoacanthomas in two patients: case report
Both rejected medical advice to excise the lesions for fear the procedure would mess with the tattoos, authors say.
Freshly inked tattoos are believed to have triggered keratoacanthomas in two patients, with the nodules appearing within a few days of the ink being applied, Dutch doctors report.
Unlike most previous reports, where the keratoacanthomas (KAs) were linked to red ink, the latest cases involved black and grey tattoos, say clinicians from the Haaglanden Medical Center in the Hague.
