Hello,

What was in the conditioner? You may have a contact dermatitis or simply an irritation from whatever was in the product you used.

Start by washing off the product gently and thoroughly with warm water and soap. If the rash is mild, you can use over the counter cortisone cream for up to 3 days. If the rash is angry, red, very irritated or itchy, then go in to be seen by a doctor to confirm the diagnosis (and you may need a stronger prescription steroid medication than the over the counter cream).

Hope I have answered your query.
