What Causes Numbness Behind The Head After Bleaching The Hair?
Hello, i went to my salon to get my hair bleached yesterday. I have been getting it done every 6 weeks for a year now and they always use the same brand and same amount. Yesterday though, after rinsing my hair i suddenly felt sick and hot so i took an antihistamin immediately. Today i woke up and there is a slight swelling on my forehead and a numb pain at the back of my head; as if someone hit me there recently. I took an antihistamin again and an an anti-inflammatory for the pain. I am panicking. What is happening to me? What should i do now?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is probably an allergy to any product used on your hair in the salon. Don't worry. You just need to continue the antihistamine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
