black henna

Posted by John on February 18, 2000 at 01:11:03:

i applied some black henna on my arm. 4 hours later took it off. it
left a very dark good design. three days later the color faded and
exactly where the color was my skin started to rise like swelling or
as i remember as a child, like poisen oak would appear. two weeks
later the black color is completely gone, but my skin is raised and
red like a scar and itches mildly. cool scar tattoo if thats what a
person wants. i dont mind the fancy scar but how do i make the
swelling go down and keep something weird from happening?? a friend
said clean with distilled water and apply pure aloe-vera. the
pharmasist thought that if it is infected to apply neosporen or
something like that but it did not look like an infection to him. an
infection would be somewhat spreading, and warm and thats not the
case. its only scarred and red where the color was. Any
answers????????????????/
