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 hasnt gone away.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor 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
