It is highly popular among children and young adults to have temporary henna tattoos on their bodies in different colors and figures. Henna is a greenish natural powder obtained from the flowers and dry leaves of Lawsonia alba plant and its allergenicity is very low. Henna is also used in combination with other coloring substances such as para-phenylenediamine in order to darken the color and create a permanent tattoo effect. Para-phenylenediamine is a substance with high allergenicity potential and may cause serious allergic reactions. Here, we aimed to draw attention to the potential harms of para-phenylenediamine containing temporary tattoos by presenting a child patient who developed allergic contact dermatitis after having a scorpion-shaped temporary tattoo on his forearm.
在儿童和年轻人中，在身上绘制不同颜色和图案的临时指甲花纹身非常流行。指甲花是一种从散沫花植物的花朵和干叶中提取的绿色天然粉末，其致敏性非常低。指甲花还与对苯二胺等其他着色物质混合使用，以加深颜色并产生永久性纹身效果。对苯二胺是一种具有高致敏性的物质，可能会引起严重的过敏反应。在此，我们通过介绍一名在前臂绘制蝎子形状的临时纹身后发生过敏性接触性皮炎的儿童患者，旨在引起人们对对苯二胺含量高的临时纹身潜在危害的关注。
