I have sensitive skin. I get hair colored every month. The hair colour that I use is ammonia free. I usually have mild reaction because of allergy as redness on scalp and itching. But from past two times I have severe reaction of redness and itching prevailing for a week. I took anti allergic medicine like cetricip or Allegra. This time I have developed swelling on forehead.
