The myth of black henna.

A 44-year-old woman presented with an eczematous, oozing eruption on her head, the back of her neck, and ears (Figure) that appeared one day after she had used a henna dye on her hair. She was aware of her allergy to permanent hair dyes, but her dermatologist approved of her use of natural dyes, such as henna. The dermatitis resolved within 1 week after she received an injection of combined betamethasone dipropionate 5 mg and betamethasone sodium phosphate 2 mg (Diprospan; Schering-Plough, Kenilworth, NJ).

The Blue Peel: how to do it less expensively and faster.

One well accepted and popular method worldwide for trichloroacetic acid peels is the Obagi Blue Peel technique (Obagi Medical Products, Long Beach, CA). The peel solution is prepared by mixing a fixed volume of 30% trichloroacetic acid with the commercially available Blue Peel base. The authors suggest modifications for performing the peeling faster and less expensively: 1) preparing a larger volume of peel solution from each tube of Blue Peel base; 2) using higher concentrations of peel solution to reduce the number of coats necessary for reaching the desired depth of peel; and 3) storing the solution, as there is no need to adhere to the manufacturer's instructions to prepare the solution immediately before conducting the peel procedure to ensure homogeneity of the solution. The prepared solution can be stored at least 1 year.
