Symptoms of an allergic reaction may include:
- Redness and inflammation: The skin may become red, swollen, and irritated in the area where henna was applied.
- Itching and burning: Individuals may experience itching, burning, or a stinging sensation on the skin.
- Rash or hives: Raised bumps, rash, or hives may develop on the skin, indicating an allergic reaction.

If you suspect that you are experiencing an allergic reaction to henna, it is essential to remove the henna product immediately and wash the affected area with soap and water. Applying a cold compress to help alleviate symptoms such as itching and inflammation. If symptoms persist or worsen, or if you experience signs of anaphylaxis, seek medical attention promptly.

If you have a known sensitivity to plants in the same botanical family as henna or have a history of allergic reactions, consult with a healthcare professional before using henna products.
