HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is likely a reaction to the chemicals in the dye likely due to the prolonged exposure. In most cases , it is applied and left on the scalp for 1 to 6 hours.
The extended exposure would have caused these symptoms.
It may be best to consult your doctor for a review. Medication may be needed if there is damage to the scalp or any other areas.
I hope this helps
