Henna is a traditional cosmetic agent and is used worldwide, especially in the Middle East. Its active agent is lawsone (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone). Henna is not only applied to hands or hair as a cosmetic agent in traditional ceremonies, but is also applied to the body on lesions in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis or fungal infections. However, its application over the body or in newborns is rare. Here we report a 27-day-old boy who developed hemolytic anemia and acute renal failure following topical application of henna to his abdomen, intertriginous region and legs to treat diaper rash.
指甲花是一种传统的化妆品原料，在全球范围内都有使用，尤其是在中东地区。其活性成分是指甲花醌（2-羟基-1,4-萘醌）。在传统仪式中，指甲花不仅作为化妆品原料用于手部或头发，还用于身体上治疗脂溢性皮炎或真菌感染的皮损处。然而，其在全身或新生儿中的应用很少见。在此，我们报告一名27天大的男婴，他因在腹部、腹股沟区和腿部外用指甲花治疗尿布疹后出现溶血性贫血和急性肾衰竭。
