General & Family Physician, Dr. Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi's Response

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction to the dye.

I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.

I also recommend using Cetirizine to help with the reaction.

I recommend using a gentle shampoo for hair wash.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
