Dear RJ, You seem to have a delayed chemical hypersensitivity (Type IV) against certain hair coloring chemicals and recommend you have a patch test before using any more hair dyes. For the moment, you need a systemic corticosteroid like prednisolone 1-2\u00a0mg/kg BY for 15-20 days to control this reaction and also need to continue the Allegra 120\u00a0mg until all of this is resolved. As for the other skin allergy I am not sure what it is, but a formal testing is recommended. Thanks.
