What Are The Reaction Of Hair Dye?
Hi, I have recently used a home hair dye, about a week later I have had alot of scabs and irratation to the scalp, and also to my ears? I ve also been suffering alot of head aches. I have looked online to allergic reactions to hair dye and my sympoms dont seem to be there. Could these be a coinsidence and have nothing to do with the hair dye?

Hello. Your symptoms are most likely due to allergic reaction from the dye. Avoid further contact with that dye and take 1 tab of avil for 5 days. You may also apply a topical anti inflammatory ointment on your affected areas but it would be wiser for you to consult a dermatologist if the symptoms persists. Get well soon.
