Answer 1

If you had a "black henna" design, you were exposed to PPD, a black dye meant for hair and very dangerous when put on skin. One of the dangers of PPD exposure is later having cross reactions with other dyes. Most likely this is something you will always need to be aware of, you should look into PPD exposure and try to find a doctor that's familiar with the side effects of it. In the future, go out of your way to avoid strong dyes, and hope that you don't develop reactions to common food dyes. It's rare, but there's at least one case where a woman was unable to take pretty much any processed medication. Stop and think about all the fake colors in medicine and food and you can see how that's really problematic.



Btw, it's all the PPD's fault, not the henna. You would be perfectly safe getting a pure henna design.

Answer 2

you sound like my boyfriend, he's a transgendered guy (has a girl's body, mans mind) and he's gay, any ways I think you're a gay trans-guy, and while its not really normal its hardly unheard of nor is there anything wrong with it, if you want/need to talk feel free to message me

Answer 3

Nothing is wrong with your body, its just an allergic reaction that's your having, so a certain product in there.

i have a friend who's like that, ono biggie seriously, if you want a henna tattoo use the natural one that doesn't contain the extra chemicals

Answer 4

Funny that it ended up in women's health .. anyhow, you have hives. An allergic reaction. Go see a doctor.
