          Abstract

          Henna is used as a hair dye and to make temporary tattoos on the skin. It is usually mixed with p-phenylendiamine (PPD) to increase colour intensity and to reduce the time of fixation on the skin proteins. PPD can cross react with azoic dyes which are used as textile dyes. We studied a patient with skin eczema in the area of a henna temporary tattoo. The epicutaneous tests performed with the standard Trolab and Chemotecnique® hair dressing and textile batteries, showed positive results to PPD, p-toluendiamine, 5-4aminophenol, Yellow 3, Orange Red and Red 1, and negative results to three types of henna. The eczema in this patient was due to sensitisation to PPD on a henna tattoo with cross reaction to azoic dyes. The recent fashion of applying temporal tattoos in occidental countries may produce an increase in the frequency of contact dermatitis due to henna mixtures with cross- reaction to related compounds and possibly producing permanent skin changes.

          La henna se utiliza como tinte para el cabello y para realizar tatuajes temporales sobre la piel. Con frecuencia se le agrega para-fenilendiamina (PPD) para acortar el tiempo de fijación del tinte a las proteínas de la piel y aumentar la intensidad del color. La PPD puede ocasionar reacción cruzada con los colorantes azoicos utilizados como tintes en los productos textiles. Estudiamos un paciente con eccema en el área de piel donde se había practicado un tatuaje temporal. Las pruebas epicutáneas se realizaron con la batería estándar de Trolab y baterías de peluquería y textiles de Chemotecnique®. Se obtuvieron resultados positivos a PPD, p-toluendiamina, 5-4 aminofenol, Amarillo 3, Naranja-Rojo y Rojo 1 y negativos a tres tipos de henna. El eccema en este paciente se debió a la sensibilización a PPD en un tatuaje con henna con reacción cruzada a colorantes azoicos. La reciente moda de aplicar tatuajes temporales en países occidentales está originando un aumento de la frecuencia de dermatitis por contacto debida a mezclas con henna con reacción cruzada con compuestos relacionados y posiblemente ocasionando cambios permanentes en la piel.

          Identification and quantification of para-phenylenediamine in a temporary black henna tattoo.

          Temporary black henna tattoos are very popular as body adornment. Although contact allergy to natural henna is unusual, the inclusion of hair dye, p-phenylenediamine (PPD), increases the risk of contact sensitization. This study was performed to identify the presence and concentration of PPD in a black henna tattoo mixture to which our patient developed contact allergy. The presence of PPD in a black henna tattoo mixture, various samples of commercially available henna powders, and several hair dye products was qualitatively and quantitatively detected using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This study demonstrated that PPD was present in the black henna tattoo mixture at a concentration of 15.7%, which is significantly higher than commercial hair dye preparations. The presence of PPD in black henna tattoo mixtures in high concentration poses a health hazard and a risk of allergic contact sensitization with potential long-term consequences.

            A temporary henna tattoo causing hair and clothing dye allergy.

            Contact dermatitis following the application of temporary paint-on henna tattoos indicates a potentially serious problem of active sensitization. We describe 2 cases involving sisters who travelled to Bali together and acquired a temporary black henna tattoo to the lower back region. Both sisters subsequently developed a contact dermatitis at the tattoo site, the dermatitis disseminating in one sister. There was persistent hyperpigmentation at the tattoo site in both sisters several months after the application. Patch testing revealed a positive reaction to para-phenylenediamine (PPD) in both sisters. One sister also showed reactions to other hair dyes and to multiple organic dyes. Allergic contact dermatitis to PPD contained in temporary henna tattoos is an increasing problem worldwide, with cross-reaction to related compounds and permanent skin changes, a frequent consequence of sensitization to this significant allergen.
