Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

You seem to have irritant contact dermatitis due to hair dye. Kindly consult the dermatologist to have perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

I would suggest...

- short course of antibiotic
- tappering course of steroids
- Antihistaminics
- apply combined cream of antibiotic and steroid
- dettol bath
- avoid soap bath
- avoid hair dye

I hope this would help you..

Thanks.
