So MastaG and I trekked out to the allergist today, where we learned… nothing.

Seriously.

He said “Looks like contact dermatitis”, which, ironically, is exactly what I told the lady when I made the appointment.  He admitted not knowing much about Henna allergies and PPD sensitivity, and said he’d look it up and call me, but told me that theres not a chance of sensitivity coming from this exposure, which kinda flies against some of the internet reading I’ve done.

So, whatever.  I spent hours on the phone getting the freakin insurance referral set up, because the bums at the peds office suck at things like communicating to patients, and whatnot, and finally got the appt, and learn nothing useful when I get there.  MastaG’s healing nicely, the scar probably won’t be that ugly, and he certainly hasn’t shown any signs that this thing is anything but a case of contact dermatitis.

Not to say that I’m bitching, because I certainly feel much better about things than I did a week ago, and it wasn’t any skin of my back to make a few phone calls and miss a little bit of work.
