Thumb Numb And Pain

hi i was just dying my hair so i had my hands up for about a half hour. Now my thumb feels weird. Kind of numb, but really it reminds me of how it feels when you ve been trying to twist the top off of a two-liter of pop thats really stuck on there good, but I haven t done that. I thought it might be from poor blood flow to my thumb from it being above my head for so long, but I ve tried rubing it and stimulating it but i cannot get it to feel better. I noticed it about 15 min. ago.

Hi,

Welcome to Healthcaremagic.

Dye do contain harmful chemicals which are very allergic and many do present with such symptoms when come in contact with it to skin.

It is self limiting and will go off on its own.

If its getting more then taking antiallergics like Benadryl will help.

Wish you good health.
