Hello,

Thanks for posting your query on HCM
You developed an allergic reaction to the dye and an angioedema due to the same.
You require to take an anti histamine preferably the second generation type without sedation.
Avoid any home remedies and creams.
Eat a wholesome diet, relax and sleep well. you would get well soon.
In future you should avoid the dye that caused you the reaction. If you ever want to use any dye in the future you should apply it over a small area on the body and see if it produces any reaction before using it on your scalp.
Take Care
