[|AI|]  Hi, Dear , thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your query in-depth and I feel concerned about it. In my opinion-the lump with shoulder stiffness is due to mild infection-after the tatto-possibility of chronic infection is there. I would suggest consulting Surgeon who would treat it with antibiotics and NSAIDs-if it does not resolve, CBC,FBS, pps studies and excision of the chronic lump with chronic infection is needed. Hope This would solve your query. Wellcome again for any more query
