Will Neosporin Help Curing Sore In Scalp Due To Hair Dye Allergy?
I have had an allergic reaction to using the hair dye by Bigen. My scalp is very sore, swollen, itchy, and some pus is coming out in a couple of areas. Will Neosporin help? I just starting taking Benadryl for the allergic reaction but now I want to make sure I don't get sores in my head.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
The benadyl would help to reduce the allergic response. Neosporin is an antibiotic cream.
In some cases of allergies, intense scratching of the area can cause the introduction of bacteria and this can cause an infection. If this is the case then the antibiotic cream would be helpful.
I hope this helps
