How Can Allergic Reaction To Hair Dye Be Treated?
Question: I used a beard XXXXXXX which I'm apparently allergic to. I've shaved and cleaned the area several times but fluid is continually leaking onto my skin. It is clear and sticky but there is no pain. The area is inflamed. How do I get it to stop leaking fluid onto the skin?
Brief Answer:
Management of allergic reaction
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
You seem to have developed an allergic reaction to the hair XXXXXXX
Apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet cetrizine 10 mg once daily for 5-7 days.
If it doesn't improve in 4-5 days you should take a short course of oral steroid like tablet prednisone 20 mg once daily for 5 days.
It is a prescription drug and you need to see the doctor in person to get it.
