Was that real henna (greeny-brown, smells like leaves), or was it “black henna”?

Omg this happened to me when I was about 10 and I had the scar for aaaaaages. Tell your girlfriend to be careful if she’s going to dye her hair because she’s now allergic to PPD. Not kidding.

That looks like a reaction to black henna, especially a month later.
She needs to be careful as it causes a PPD allergy which is in a lot of dyes as well as orange peels.

Fake henna full of chemicals most likely. Fyi ask how old the henna is, the real stuff has a short shelf life.

When Henna turns into a permanent troubling allergy.

Fake Henna can permanently scar too and never fade……

I reacted to henna, but from the sounds of your responses to others, your gf and I reacted to different things. Mine reacted fast, and as soon as I got home I had to scrub it off. It sucked because it was so pretty, too

Once I sat for a (real) tattoo for 6 hours. Had a reaction to the tape he stuck the clingwrap down with. It was proper skin safe paper tape. Not for me!

Oh my god, I remember getting a fake hello kitty tattoo as a kid that ended up as a scar that stayed for YEARS and I never knew what it was but I think it was black henna now that I see this. Thanks for solving a mystery of mine lol

She needs to skip black hair dye because she can get anaphylaxis. This type of allergy accelerates and can be very dangerous. Looks kinda cool for a burn, though lol

I had an allergic reaction to black henna, but it almost within a day, not a month. It did looked like the picture for almost a month. Natural henna on the other hand it’s ok.

I had henna done for my wedding. Got it done like 2 weeks before. A week after, on the honeymoon, I had an allergic reaction.

My mom encouraged me to get a “henna tattoo” (now knowing it was black henna) when I was 10 and we were on vacation and my reaction was just like OPs picture.
Now I know why when I got my hair dyed 12 years later I had the worst allergic reaction to it. Hives, lymph nodes in my neck swollen massively, so much pain.

Pro tip, don’t get henna done at any kind of major tourist location, festival, theme park, et cetera. It’s almost always black henna. The only time I’ve gotten henna done is at craft fairs in a place with a higher than usual Desi population and I confirmed that the artist had mixed their own henna.

Sucks about the hair dye allergy but it does look pretty cool at least

The henna is still probably present subdermally. I know my current tattoos sometimes get a little testy when I’m having an allergic reaction that might not even be related.
