Black henna is composed of henna itself with p-phenylenediamine insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PPD); and used for temporary black henna tattoos. The PPD compound of the henna transforms the harmless henna to an allergenic material and generalized erythema multiforme, Sweet’s syndrome, acquired leucoderma, urticaria and angioneurotic edema are the other reported rare complications of black henna tattoos. Localized hypertrichosis on the temporary henna tattoo is not a usual side effect and there are a few reports about this topic.
