There is more than one form of ppd. I have heard more than one
opinion of whether it causes an allergic dermatitus, severe
dermatitus, or chemical burn. I am not an MD. I can't define the name
of blistering, oozing and potential organ damage. However, indigo
does not cause that sort of reaction. PPD does. You probably had a
mild reaction to ppd, and whether it is a moderate dermatitus or
severe, depends on the time of exposure, heat, and the porosity of
your skin.
Can you contact the person who did this to you and tell them that they
are seriously endangering their own health by using one of the forms
of ppd? Can you contact the owner of the establishment where this was
done and tell them that a transdermal toxin is being used that can
kill the artist and harm the clients?
Check the link below. It's a MOTHER.
You almost certainly do NOT have a problem with HENNA because it is
NOT transdermal. PPD is!

• ppd health warning!
