What Causes Itching On Back After Colouring My Hair?
Hi , I recently colored my hair myself as I always have but now it seems like there are some changes, like a week after I color my hair my scalp starts burning and itching and a few days after that I am now itching all over my back and neck and some what all over. I use Loreal cream. Am I having a allergic reaction and what will help the symptoms other then going to the dr.? Thanks , Denise
I have gone through your query and it seems to be an allergic reaction probably to the hair dye. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
