Owen suffered a severe allergic reaction after covering his body with a huge dragon, a paw print and a tribal on his chest.
An eight-year-old boy may need skin grafts after ‘henna tattoos’ from a family holiday left him with horrific chemical burns.
Doctors said the burns were caused by Paraphenylenediamine – a chemical commonly found in ‘black henna’ pastes and dark hair dyes. ‘The dragon took up most of his upper right arm and because it was so detailed it took around 40 minutes to complete – Owen was thrilled with them and was beaming – he couldn’t wait to show them off.’
Burns specialists, a paediatric consultant and a plastic surgeon examined him and conceded that in the ‘worst case scenario’ Owen would need skin grafts.Leanne said that although the burns never caused Owen any pain, he was left feeling self-conscious and kept his scars covered up with long-sleeved tops.Leanne said: ‘Owen was fine health-wise but he wouldn’t take his t-shirt off even when it was hot, he was very self-conscious.
