What Causes Chronic Itching And Burning Sensation Upon Usage Of Hair Colour?

Hello Dr. I m allergic to hairdye. I used garnier and L Oréal. After reactions I stoped and switched to only mehandi and indigo powder which was safe with no reaction. But for my unluck the shopkeeper showed some noni hair colour which was supposed to apply like shampoo and wash. After that my bad luck started which was worse. It started itching neckline boils and burning sensation.i consulted dermatologist she prescribed omnacortil10mg and HhLevo5mg for 15days. Every thing was ok but after that when again I started mehandi and indigo power the day I applied nothing was there but the next day little burning sensation on scalp is there .now my dermatologist suggested tezine 10mg. Will I be normal .? And can I apply mehandi while taking tablets. ?

Foreign body may medicine like hair dye, pollen, animal dander, dust and insect venom etc. The severity of allergies varies from person to person and can range from minor rash to anaphylaxis — a potentially life-threatening emergency. Chemical are known to cause contact dermatitis which is a form of allergy. The best treatment of allergy/contact dermatitis is to avoid allergens.
Advice
1.     Stop using all kinds of hair dye and mehendi
2.     Continue Tezine as suggested
3.     Tablet Dexona 0.5 mg – 1 tablet twice daily for 5 days
4.     You can apply calamine lotion – three times daily – will provide soothing effect
