Brief Answer:
No side effect of colors and bleaching agents on scalp skin or brain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.
I can understand your concern for the side effects of colors and bleaching agents on scalp skin or brain or in causation of cancer.
Let me first reassure you fully that there is no side effect of colors and bleaching agents on scalp skin or brain or in causation of cancer.
Let me explain you the medical facts for above:
Our scalp skin is different for the skin of rest of the body. It has additional five layers which are not present anywhere else in body. It is one of the thickest skin in our human body.
Additionally there is another layer of protection blow these five layers and then below this is the skull bone.
So you can get that there are mutilayered structures in between anything applied on scalp and going down in the brain. Nothing in this world could cross any of the layer and therefore nothing can go into brain directly.
In addition to that the blood supply to skin of scalp is not in connection with brain and therefore there is no possibility of intermingling of blood.
Lastly the most important of all the facts is that these colors or bleaching agents which are used are the most inert biochemical and never react to our skin. It is medically tested so many thousands of times before the human use that it can't react and go into the blood stream anywhere.
So I reassure you again that there is no side effect of colors and bleaching agents on scalp skin or brain or in causation of cancer.
I hope this information will help and relax you. I will be glad to answer any further queries.

Brief Answer:
I reassure you fully that there are no any signs of herpes in your case.
Detailed Answer:
Dear young lady,
Welcome back and thanks for your further follow up.
I have reanalyzed all your pictures and after thorough analysis I reassure you fully that there are no any signs of herpes in your case. This is only simple apthous ulcer only and there is no correlation with herpes.
To tell you medically - Herpes lesions manifest itself as small vesicles (fluid filled blisters) which remains for just a day or two and then forms ulcers which are quite painful. These ulcers then heals in next 5-7 days.
To begin with also these vesicles are quite painful and itchy with discomfort and once the vesicles burst in a day or two then the ulcers which are formed are quite painful for next 4-5 days. So the symptoms can never go unnoticed.
In yourself I can make out that no such symptom is present matching with the above symptoms.
So you can rest assured regarding the rarest possibility of herpes. You can make out that you do not have any of the symptoms which match with herpes or its symptoms or any other Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
Cold and sore throat are quite common and have no direct correlation with herpes.
Even if you consider rarest of rare possibility of herpes then also there is no problem in conceiving or in normal relation with your husband in future.
I hope you must be relaxed now. I will be glad to guide you any further.

Dr Sanjay Kanodia
