This little girl's hand. This little girl's hand is covered in huge blisters.

Nine-year-old Madison will have monstrous patterned scars on her arm for the rest of her life from a henna tattoo she got with her mother and brother in Egypt. The family was on holiday in Hurghada. According to the girl's father, his wife Sylvia had to spend several days in the hospital due to a gallbladder infection. Upon returning, as a reward for the fact that the children behaved well, the woman decided to encourage them and offered to get black henna tattoos. From the very beginning of the holiday, children showed great interest in such tattoos.

The girl's younger brother Sebastian immediately complained of a burning sensation, so the tattoos were washed off from his arm. Madison began to complain about the tattoo only after returning back to England.

We saw some sores appear on top of the tattoo, but we didn't see any redness. The next morning, the tattoo site began to itch very much, and when we washed it with water, we saw redness along the contour of the tattoo, says the girl’s father, Martin. “Her hand started to get blistered, so we decided to read about black henna tattoos on the Internet, and only then did we realize how dangerous it is.

As it turns out, black henna can contain large amounts of paraphenylenediamine, a highly toxic chemical. Although paraphenylenediamine is also found in many products, such as sunscreens and hair dyes, it is used in very small doses. At the moment, the addition of paraphenylenediamine to henna is recognized as a health problem, since the allergenic chemical often causes negative reactions in hypersensitive children.

Doctors prescribed the girl steroid creams and ointments, which did not give a positive result and the girl’s hand continued to become covered with huge blisters. Madison was eventually admitted to the hospital's burn unit. Doctors conducted an examination and discovered that the girl had a high PH level, which indicated a chemical burn. Doctors tried to treat the girl’s skin in this condition, but the blisters were so large that treatment could not reach the affected skin underneath. So they had to remove the fluid bubbles first.

After the operation, the girl was bandaged and transferred to the scar monitoring unit. Now she will have to wear this bandage for at least 6 months to minimize the size of the scars.

We sent an email to the hotel, but they were told that there was nothing wrong with henna and that, most likely, the problem lay with our daughter, the parents said. “I then responded to them, sending them a link about the dangers of black henna tattoos and recommending that they talk to their doctor, who was trained in Britain. We don't want compensation, the main thing is Madison's health and minimizing her scarring because we don't want her to grow up with scars that will last her life.

The Huragada hotel later sent a message apologizing to Martin and his family and saying that they were no longer offering henna tattoos to their clients.
