Temporary henna tattoo, which has become popular among young people, is obtained from the mixture of the plants Lawsonia alba or Lawsonia inermis and paraphenylenediamine (PPD). In forming reactions frequent development of anti-PPD substance is noticed. A 13-year old boy who started itching, erythema, enduration on the application area, increasingly urticarial rash, conjunctivitis and swelling of the lips 48 h after being applied the temporary henna tattoo was hospitalized. He had a local reaction to henna tattoo when he was 5-year old. He was treated with parenteral corticosteroids and oral antihistaminic drugs. Skin reactions persisted for 18 days. The patient showed no early reaction to henna 10% and PPD 1% concentration in saline solution but did late reaction (after 48 h) to PPD in diameter of 12x13 mm in prick test in 3 weeks after the reaction. A case who developed angioneurotic edema and urticaria to temporary henna tattoo noticed that the henna tattoo is not an innocent application and young people need to be informed on this subject.
临时海娜纹身已在年轻人中流行起来，它是由植物白番泻或散沫花与对苯二胺（PPD）混合而成。在形成反应过程中，经常会发现抗PPD物质的产生。一名13岁男孩在使用临时海娜纹身后48小时，在纹身部位开始出现瘙痒、红斑、硬结，荨麻疹皮疹不断增多，伴有结膜炎和嘴唇肿胀，随后住院治疗。他5岁时曾对海娜纹身有过局部反应。他接受了肠胃外皮质类固醇和口服抗组胺药物治疗。皮肤反应持续了18天。该患者对10%海娜和1% PPD生理盐水溶液在早期无反应，但在反应3周后的点刺试验中，对PPD出现了48小时后的迟发性反应，直径为12×13毫米。一名因临时海娜纹身出现血管性水肿和荨麻疹的病例表明，海娜纹身并非无害的应用，需要让年轻人了解这一情况。
