2021-08-20 07:55:48
I had applied hair dye on sunday and since tue I am having severe itching redness and raised wheals on my upper back below hairline, ear lobes and bit of forehead and neck.. I have been taking a combination of Bilastine and monteleukast but it isn't reducing... what else should I take? Any calming lotion or shampoo? Can I take deflacort to decrease the inflammation? Or hydrocort creams?
