Does anyone know about cutaneous pseudolymphoma and tattoos?


I have a bump that has shown up on my finger since I got a tattoo on my arm. Does anyone know if a cutaneous pseudolymphoma that shows up sometimes when you get a tattoo always occur at the site of the tattoo? Or can it be in another spot?

From what I've read and know of cutaneous pseudolymphoma it would seem that your eruption would most likely occur at the tattoo site. The lump on your finger may just be coincidental. Of course, I am not a doctor, nor do I claim to be but I know a lot about this condition and my best guess is that the lump didn't happen because of the tattoo but just appeared around the same time. Hope this helps, maybe you should call your doctor just to be sure. Good Luck.  (+ info)

Need an idea of a diagnosis?


For the past couple of years I have woken up or noticed large bruises that have come up for no reason. Six months ago I had a surgery to remove a suspicious tumor from my head. After three rounds of pathologists they concluded that it was surrounded my large amounts of lymphocytes and that I had what is called pseudolymphoma which looks like cancer but isn't. Since my surgery I have had rather large swollen lymph nodes for no reason. My PCP diagnosed me with mono but I have not had any symptoms of mono and I constantly have a temperature below 97 and even lower when I feel bad. I have some symptoms of lymphocytic leukemia. Is this a possibility??
