News Doctor warns of extreme reactions to hair dye, tattoos A Toronto dermatologist is warning about allergic reactions to a common ingredient in hair dye and black henna tattoos that can cause serious symptoms in some people.

Social Sharing. Toronto's Samantha Shecter was treated in hospital shortly after dyeing her hair years ago. Shecter needed intravenous steroids to clear up the redness and swelling. Tattoos sensitize people to PPD The painted-on temporary tattoos are common at carnivals, festivals and beach resorts, but DeKoven says black henna contains higher concentrations of PPD than permanent hair dye does.

Reactions on the rise A recent survey in London found the frequency of positive reactions to PPD in patch tests doubled over six years to 7. DeKoven says he'd like to see legislation to prohibit its use in black henna tattoos. Corrections Samantha Shecter was treated in hospital for a reaction to para-phenylenediamine shortly after dyeing her hair years ago, not recently as was originally reported. Dr Chris Flower, director general of the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association, explains: "PPD is safely and legally used in permanent hair dyes where clear instructions are given, and where the maximum level is controlled by law.

But black henna often contains PPD at high levels, to give a dark colour quickly. Lisa Bickerstaffe at the British Skin Foundation agrees. If in doubt, stay away. Both Flower and Bickerstaffe advise reading the list of ingredients. Avoid the product if it lists PPD or paraphenylenediamine. But even this is no guarantee of safety, as the ingredient list might not be accurate or comprehensive.

If the reaction persists or gets worse, go back to the doctor, as the painted area can also become infected. And it's not just black henna tattoos you might be allergic to.

Bickerstaffe warns: "The reaction can lead to contact dermatitis and may mean that your skin is more susceptible to reacting to other PPD products, such as hair dye, in the future. Apart from the pain and possible scarring in reaction to a black henna tattoo, there is a real risk of becoming sensitised to PPD. This means that if you come into contact with PPD again in the future, even years later, you can have a very serious allergic reaction. Allergic reactions can get worse over time, and you might not even realise you have become sensitised.

Bickerstaffe advises getting tested to see if you have become sensitised to PPD. It's unlikely you'll be able to use permanent hair dye again after reacting to black henna. PPD is also found in other items, including rubbers and inks, so if you have an unexpected reaction to everyday products and seek treatment, tell a doctor or pharmacist about your sensitivity to PPD. If you're going to dye your hair, Dr Flower explains what to look for on the label: "The name of the hair dye has to be listed in the ingredient list on the pack — look out for p-Phenylenediamine or Toluene-2,5-diamine.

Every hair dye product in the UK is required to provide information about carrying out an Allergy Alert Test, to see if you will have a reaction to the dye. You should do this test before each time you use hair dye, even if you have used the dye before. There will be a careline or helpline number on the hair dye pack for you to call.
