Brief Answer: Side effect of allergic hair XXXXXXX most likely. Detailed Answer: Hello there, Welcome to HCM, Thanks for writing to us, Yes, it might be due to the side effect of XXXXXXX you used for dying. As nausea, head ache are the common side effect resulting due to the hair XXXXXXX allergies. No, it won’t be XXXXXXX I assume that you applied the XXXXXXX locally over the scalp and head regions, as it is applied locally, it won’t elicit any serious reactions so that to harm whole body. Do not panic, wash your scalp and head portions to get rid of XXXXXXX completely, most of the symptoms wane off after this. Taking mild NSAIDS (acetaminophen) helps in relieving headaches. If your symptoms are worsening, visit a nearby physician as soon as possible for proper examination and treatment. Take care. Dr.surendiran.g

Thank you for the reassurance. Thing that worries me is the severe pain in my right side ribs around breast bone. This is a pain like the pain with gallstones. I have noticed this pain after hair XXXXXXX before..can an ingredient in hair XXXXXXX be irritating for gall stones ? I am taking panadol XXXXXXX as this is the only thing to lessen the pain.

Brief Answer: Symptoms related to gall stones,no need to panic. Detailed Answer: Hello there, Nice to see you again, It is less likely to have a gall stone irritation after local application of hair XXXXXXX on scalp.so no need to worry, and it is not due to the local irritation of hair XXXXXXX But I suggest you an ultra sound for your gallbladder to see whether if there is any block in the outflow of the gall bladder by stones, which causes the increased symptoms as you are mentioning earlier. Panadol XXXXXXX can be used to treat the pain symptoms, but it is only a temporary remedy. Further examination by surgeon is advised if pain symptoms worsens. Take care. Dr.surendiran.g

Thank you for this...it would seem unbelievable but every time I use hair XXXXXXX after 3 days i get this incredible pain in my side with nausea. I can verify that this is the case. With good diet I have virtually have had no episodes of this pain which I used to experience frequently. a scan showed gall stones. however as I say after 3 days I always get this pain from using hair XXXXXXX and it is extreme pain...Panadol XXXXXXX always helps and it lasts 2-3 days and then its gone.

Brief Answer: Stop dyeing using hair XXXXXXX and see for improvement Detailed Answer: Hello there, Nice to see you again, I have not found any relation between hair dyes and stomach pain yet. Hence I believe it would be worthwhile to discuss about it with your treating doctor. I would be a good idea to repeat ultrasound scan and rule out other causes before attributing to hair dyes. In the interim, stop using the hair XXXXXXX or change the brand. Hope this helped you, Thank you. Dr.surendiran.g
