Suggest Remedies For Itchy Burning Red Blotches On Scalp After Bleaching Hair
Hi, I recently bleached my hair for the first time. The first was fine but after a few days I felt what felt like a bruise/ lump under skin in back of head where my neck starts. I stupidly bleached again in less than a week to get the spots I missed and my scalp broke out into a itchy, burning red blotchy mess. I can t stop scratching. What do I do?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a seborrheic dermatitis.
I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine to relieve the itching.
I also suggest using a hydrocortisone cream for local application at the scalp.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
