A member asked:
I have an allergy rash from hair dye. i have been taking benadryl (diphenhydramine) for a few days and it has still not completely gone away. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rash too?: If scalp is red and itchy as part of the dye reaction, you may need application of topical steroid solution, or oral steroids, to calm down the reaction . These are prescriptions available through your primary doctor, or a dermatologist.
