I had similar problems with mine. I went to the beach, saw everybody
had these black Henna tattos and thought it would be a fun thing to
do. My henna artist did ask me if I was allergic to any dyes, etc.. I
have a real tatto on my ankle and have never had any problems with it
for 6 years. So I said no. The Henna has faded and my skin has
cleared up some.. however, I had a band around my upper arm. So it
looks like a brand now or a very faded tatto. I have been using aloe
which is helping with the healing process, but had I known this, I
would also warn others to stay away from it. Everybody at the beach
just wants your money, and they don't tell you the dangers or even
make you sign papers like I did when I got my tatto. Hope things work
out for you....
