I recently got the linework done for my latest tattoo on my right arm, and last week i went in for my 1st session of color. (i have one session left). A few days ago, I noticed that my skin was beginning to break out. Now I had put A&D ointment on it for the 1st 3 days like instructed, then moved to a jergins non fragranced lotion. I however did notice that it had Lanolin in it, which I guess causes such a breakout. I have quit using it, and i have lubriderm, with no fragrance or lanolin in it. Should i quit moisturizing it entirely, or just switch and keep going with the lubriderm?

I dont get acne on my arm ever, so I am thinking i am allergic to the lotion (jergins) Also, my arm was shaved, prior to the tat...
I will include a picture as well, so you can see where its forming, and some of them have white heads on them...

Another piece of information that could be useful is that i did go to a concert about 3 days ago and I got really sweaty, and rubbed against a bunch of other sweaty people...

Any and all help, information is appreciated!
