    Hair dye allergy symptoms

    There’s a difference between a sensitivity and an allergy to PPD or other


    hair dye ingredients. A sensitivity may cause contact dermatitis
    symptoms, such as burning and stinging or red, dry skin.

    If you’re allergic to hair dye, your symptoms can range from mild to
    serious. Symptoms may occur immediately or take up to 48 hours to
    manifest.

    Hair dye allergy symptoms include:

     stinging or burning sensation on the scalp, face, or neck


     blisters or welts
     itching or swelling of the scalp and face
     swollen eyelids, lips, hands, or feet
     an angry, red rash anywhere on the body

    Occasionally, a hair dye allergy will cause anaphylaxis to occur. This


    rare reaction is a medical emergency and can be fatal. Symptoms of
    anaphylaxis may include:

     skin reactions such as stinging, burning, swelling, and rashes


     swelling of the throat and tongue
     trouble breathing
     fainting
     nausea
     vomiting

    If you or someone you know appears to be going into anaphylactic


    shock, call 911 or get to an emergency room immediately.

    Treating an allergic reaction


    from hair dye
    There are a number of methods you can try to treat your symptoms at
    home. Try one of these options:

     If you have an immediate, mild reaction to the dye, rinse it off


    immediately and thoroughly with warm water and mild soap or mild
    shampoo.
     Apply a solution of potassium permanganate to the affected area.
    This can help fully oxidize PPD. PPD only causes allergic reactions
    when it’s in a partially oxidized state.
     Treat contact dermatitis symptoms, such as skin rash or itching,
    with an over-the-counter, topical corticosteroid skin cream. These
    can be used on the face, neck, and other parts of the body, but
    should not be used near or in the eyes or mouth.
     Use shampoos containing topical corticosteroids, such as Clobex,
    on your scalp.
     Apply hydrogen peroxide. It’s a mild antiseptic and may help calm
    the skin and reduce irritation and blistering.
     Take an oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl, to help reduce skin
    inflammation and itching.

    If your symptoms don’t improve, or if they get worse or cause you


    distress that interferes with your ability to function, call your doctor
    immediately.

    You may be able to get relief from prescription-strength corticosteroids.


    These are available in many forms, including creams, lotions, eye drops,
    ear drops, and pills.
