Brief Answer: Allergic skin reaction Detailed Answer: Hi I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same. I have seen the attached picture. You seem to have developed an allergic reaction to the hair color used. You should use a steroid cream over the affected areas twice a day. Something like cortisone will work. Do not apply any other oil or creams over the affected areas. Use a sunscreen when going out in the sun as Sun can increase the allergic reaction. Take some oral antihistamines like benadryl for two to three days. Do not use the same hair color again. Avoid after shave lotions for sometime. Hope it helps If you have any other query, please ask.
