A case of contact dermatitis resulting from temporary tattooing with henna is described. The skin was stained using a dye described as 'black' henna. This is produced by the addition of paraphenylenediamine (PPD) to traditional henna dye in order to make temporary skin tattoos appear darker. Sensitisation to PPD may also cause sensitivity to printers' inks, clothing dyes, hair dyes, local anaesthetics, sulphonamides, and para-aminosalicylic acid. The case of contact dermatitis described responded to application of topical steroid with no sequelae; however patients may be left with hypo- or hyper-pigmentation of the skin or even permanent scarring.
本文描述了一例因使用指甲花进行临时纹身而导致的接触性皮炎病例。皮肤使用一种被称为“黑色”指甲花的染料进行染色。这是通过在传统指甲花染料中添加对苯二胺（PPD）来制成的，以便使临时皮肤纹身看起来颜色更深。对PPD致敏也可能导致对印刷油墨、服装染料、染发剂、局部麻醉剂、磺胺类药物和对氨基水杨酸敏感。所描述的接触性皮炎病例对局部使用类固醇治疗有反应，且无后遗症；然而，患者的皮肤可能会出现色素减退或色素沉着，甚至留下永久性疤痕。
