A member asked:

My scalp has been oozing a clear liquid. what could be wrong?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Allergic reaction: This is a sign that your skin has reacted severely to some product, usually it is hair dye. I would seek immediate medical attention, this can have potential to have long lasting effect on your hair.
