Infected tattoo
Tattoo infections range from minor surface irritation to something that genuinely needs oral antibiotics. A visit online gauges how serious it is, decides whether antibiotics are warranted, and walks you through wound care to help it heal.

What to expect from an Infected Tattoo visit
1
Share your health story
Answer a few questions about your goals and concerns. And, we'll gather your full health history from past providers.
2
Meet your clinician
Pick a time that works for you to speak with a licensed clinician. They'll review your health story beforehand, so your visit can be used to listen and dig deeper.
3
Get your care plan
Leave with clear next steps and a personalized care plan. If you need medication, labs, or to see a specialist, your clinician will take care of the details for you.
4
Own your health
Track your progress, schedule follow-ups, and adjust care as your needs evolve. Your care team and General AI is only a few taps away.
Ongoing support, always available.
You’ll be supported by experienced clinicians who care for a wide range of health needs, from everyday concerns to more complex conditions.
Our clinicians track your progress over time and adjust your care as needed. If medication is prescribed, we’ll manage dosing and monitor for side effects. If lab testing is recommended, we review results and refine your plan accordingly. You’re never left to navigate care on your own.
All your care in one place. That’s the General Medicine difference.
We help you understand your options, connect you to the right clinicians, manage prescriptions, coordinate any needed evaluations, and keep an eye on your overall health along the way. It’s comprehensive care that looks at the full picture — your goals, your history, your lifestyle — and makes it simple to move forward with confidence.
Reasons to book your infected tattoo visit
An infected tattoo that's getting worse — not better — needs clinical attention. This visit assesses severity and makes sure you get the right treatment before it spreads.
Your tattoo site is increasingly red, swollen, or painful beyond the first 48 hours
You're seeing yellow or green discharge rather than normal healing fluid
Redness or warmth is spreading beyond the edge of the tattoo
You have a fever alongside symptoms at the tattoo site
You want to know whether topical or oral antibiotics are needed
The infection appeared weeks after tattooing and you're not sure what's causing it
