    *Im definitely not suggesting that your issue is similar in severity, but in New York state, a shop making and selling thier own greywash. The local news started reporting horrible reaction occurring with the greywash. although it was isolated to that area/town it made national news, here is one article http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/168935256.html once again im not saying it was that, but maybe a mild form of the same issue which they say in other reports about that NY outbreak that it has to do with using water like tap water that has bacteria, which is normal. but when sitting around in the air that harmless bacteria grows into a staff infection. yours is a lot less severe, so i hope you aren't offended. im definitely not saying that you are doing anything close to what that link talks about. but it's definitely something to think about. i am pretty sure that silverback xxx is the first tattoo ink approved by the european version of the united states FDA (food and drug administration) I know Mario Barth has spend years trying to get FDA approval for tattoo pigments for his brand "Intenze" but so far there are no US tattoo pigment/inks that are FDA approved. that does not make them unsafe in any way. it is just that the FDA doesn't want to take on the task of testing, proving, and announcing the safety or danger of every brand and color of tattoo ink product. so i would probably go with the 100% government approved Silverback XXX for your greywash. i would say it's an ink issue in your case. worth changing your greywash. For about two weeks, everyone who knew i was a tattooer was saying that they sawon tv/newspaper that a local (new mexico) epidemic of "flesh eating ink thats killing people" which lead me to research and find the source of the rumors. and found multiple articles, all of them about the NY state cases.........thats just how people are though....

    I've seen a similar case, long story short after going to a doctor, the person was told to wash the area with head and shoulders shampoo and to not use any ointments or creams. It was in fact fungal. There was a lot of factors, but I still believe it was due to using sink water for a rinse cup, a big no no in my book
