Hair coloring with henna has been popular in Turkey for years. In recent years since the tattoos are applied by the street vendors in most of the beach places in Turkey, skin coloring with henna has also increased. Henna can be used alone or in combination with other coloring agents. Henna alone can be safe but due to additives such as para-phenylenediamine (PPD), p-toluenediamine and various essential oils, allergic contact reactions may occur. We report a 22-year-old man who developed severe inflammatory and keloidal, moderately bullous allergic reaction after henna paint-on tattoo. We did a patch test separately with these painting products (henna powder, PPD) and with the European standard series. PPD was strongly positive (+++) on day 2 and remained positive for following days. After treating with topical clobetasol-17 butyrate, resolution was obtained in two weeks. But some keloidal reaction remained.
在土耳其，指甲花染发多年来一直很流行。近年来，由于土耳其大部分海滩地区的街头小贩都提供纹身服务，指甲花皮肤染色也有所增加。指甲花可以单独使用，也可以与其他着色剂结合使用。单独使用指甲花可能是安全的，但由于添加了对苯二胺 (PPD)、对甲苯二胺和各种精油等物质，可能会发生过敏性接触反应。我们报告了一名 22 岁的男性，他在指甲花彩绘纹身后出现严重的炎症性和瘢痕疙瘩性、中度大疱性过敏反应。我们分别用这些彩绘产品（指甲花粉、PPD）和欧洲标准系列进行了斑贴试验。PPD 在第 2 天呈强阳性（+++），并在随后几天持续阳性。局部使用氯倍他索-17 丁酸酯治疗后，两周内得到缓解。但仍有一些瘢痕疙瘩反应。
