Scar Tissue That I Wish You Saw...

Hello hello! I've got a funktified question for ya'll. Recently I've
had surgery and my skin broke out into horrifying blisters from the
Steri-Strips that was left over the scar. I've never had a reaction to
Steri-Strips before (which is basically paper tape, I think), and my
Dr. told me that the configuration of the post-surgical skin may have
changed enough to have a sensitivity to the strips. I've also had
radiation done on the same patch of skin... (I don't recommend cancer
in any form to anybody... :) )

This makes me wonder if Henna could have the same effect on that patch
of skin. Of the wizened bunch of you, have any of you had problems
with scar tissue, and/or has the henna stained differently on such
areas of the body? I would like to know for when I do henna on others
and myself (seeing as I come across radiated scar tissue SOOOO often).
Until then, I won't be touching my own scar tissue with Mehndi...
