Suggest Treatment For Scabs On The Head After Bleaching
I bleached my hair and redyed it. Now I have two patches with scabs on my head. They are about the size of two thumbnails. They don t ooze or hurt, but my whole scalp is quite dry. Could I just not wash my hair for a couple of days and condition it properly when I do or do I need to see a doctor?

Hi
You seem to have developed a mild allergic reaction over the scalp after bleaching the hair .
This could present with redness,itching or mild scaling .
Topical application of a steroid lotion can help .
Dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp can also present similarly.
This can be dealt by application of topical anti dandruff shampoos and lotions .
Avoid oil application.
