Henna is staining the top dead layer of your skin. You'll have to
remove that skin by exfoliation.... though you can bleach it a
little too. If you use an alpha-hydroxy scrub several times to bleach
and exfoliate, that will help. The cream used in hair-straightener
does a pretty good job of wiping out henna. (It disolves hair, it
disolves skin). None of the methods of getting rid of henna are
without risk of irritation! Be patient. Exfoliate, pumice gently ...
have hot scrubby soaks .... take the opportunity to scrub mangy
household corners with comet and Ajax ... be careful not to harm
yourself.
