Why Do I Have An Allergy In My Hair Scalp?
Brief Answer:
Topical steroid lotion and antihistaminic
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Scalp allergy usually occurs following application of a hair color or some other chemicals to the hair.
It can also be associated with dandruff or intake of some medicines.
For scalp allergy, I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like Mometasone lotions on the affected areas of the scalp twice daily and take an antiallergic like tablet Levocetirizine 5mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching for 10 days.
These are prescription drugs and should be taken under the supervision of the doctor.
These should resolve this.
I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to answer any further queries.
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I don’t think it is serious but skin problems are usually chronic.
It will usually take around 2 weeks to resolve.
If you are allergic to dye-products stop using it in future.
Otherwise, it will recur and increase in severity.
