Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
The possibilities I can think of is a hair dye allergy and ploymorphic light eruption.
Hair dye allergy could occur even if you have been using the same hair colour for many years. Polymorphic light eruption occurs as an allergic reaction to the UV rays, especially after an unusually prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
