Background: I got an immediate reaction to a black henna tattoo in
Bali about 2 months ago. After a day of itching, blistering, and
watching my entire arm swell up; I finally broke down and went to a
nearby clinic.

Treatment: The doctor was very helpful and gave me a 7-day regimen of
oral antibiotics, antihistamine, and anti-inflammatory pills. As well
as antibiotic and anti-inflammatory cream to rub on twice-a-day for
about 2 weeks. Antibiotics are very important, especially if you're
in the tropics! After those first two weeks of blistering and scabs,
the area on my bicep healed very well, and there is very little
scarring now.
