Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I recently used a hair dye, and now I have dandruff, a burning sensation, and the irritation seems to be spreading. What can I do to relieve these symptoms and prevent further damage?

 

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

It sounds like you're experiencing a condition known as contact dermatitis, likely caused by the hair dye. The burning sensation and spreading irritation are common symptoms of this type of reaction. It's important to stop using the hair dye immediately and consult a dermatologist as soon as possible for a proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, avoid scratching the affected area to prevent further irritation. A dermatologist will provide the right treatment to help manage the symptoms and prevent any long-term damage.

 

Thanks
