Suggest Remedy For Itching,redness,burning And Swelling On Neck

I dyed my hair on monday. Ate mussels on Monday, oysters Wednesday and Thursday. My boyfriend sucked my neck and gave me a hickey Wednesday night. Now both the right and left sides of my neck are itching, red, burning, and swollen. The right side is more severe than the left. Boyfriend suckered both sides. Slight itchiness in the days before him sucking.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
It has nothing to do with your boyfriend sucking your neck. You have developed an allergic reaction to most probably hair dye you have used. You can go for a patch test to confirm the diagnosis and once it is confirmed you will have to stop using hair dye. Meanwhile take a short course of prednisolone and antiallergic tablet like levocetrizine. Also apply steroid like momatasone on the red and swollen neck.
