Hello and welcome to HCM,
If all these symptoms - itchy rash in underarms, groins, swelling of ears, pain around the collar bone and chest, swelling of tongue occur after use of hair dye; there is a strong possibility that these symptoms are due to allery towards hair dye.
Symptomatic treatment against these symptoms is required to control these symptoms.
Anti-histaminics are required to control these symptoms.
If these symptoms have appeared after use of hair dye, the use of the hair dye should be discontinued now.
Thanks and take care
