Suggest Remedy For Allergic Reaction To Air Dye
Hi, I am a 22 year old female. I dyed my hair 5 days ago and is having severe allergic reaction. My whole scalp is tender and has alot of drainage. I also have little fluid filled bumps on my neck and around my face. I also started to develop mild flu like symptons 2 days after, and hasn't gone away.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The allergic response would cause not only a skin reaction but may also stimulate the sinuses and cause congestion as well.
It is possible because of the damage to your scalp that you may get a bacterial infection along with the allergy.
You may want to consider visiting your doctor for an assessment.
Treatment would consist of anti histamines, possibly a short steroid course and , if infection is suspected, antibiotics.
I hope this helps
