Sorry to hear that you had to go through all that trouble and pain.Most people are not that lucky and are left with perminent scares or
even worse.
Advanced reactions can cause liver damage,bladder damage and
asthmatic-like reactions. I think you were lucky because you got
medical help and you most likely are not a child, children almost
always suffer the most because thier skin is more sensitive.
I gave myself a chemical burn from the PPD in the black henna
(BH). I didn't think there would be any problem so I gave myself a
large design. Luck for mr I only had a bad blistery rash that burnt
and itched. I did not go to my docter,but called the vender I bought
the BH from. He advised me to use Aloe Vera and not to scrach the
area effected, THis prevents the blisters from breaking and a chance
of PPD entering the bloodstream.
I had a mark on the inside of my lower left arm for about 6mo and
it faded away.
Check out my site to see it
Good luck Joe B
