 [ Symptoms ] i seem to have had an alergic reation to hair color my scalp is red and burning what can i do to relieve this [ Disease ] my best advice is rinse rinse rinse try to rinse off as much of the chemical from your scalp as possible experiencing a mild tingling sensation and some redness after applying hair color is not abnormal but it is possible to get a chemical burn to the scalp if you leave the solution on to long or rub it vigorously into the skin or of course if it turns out you are allergic if rinsing relieves the burning and redness i would suggest you wash your hair gently with regular shampoo and apply a conditioner the conditioner may help relieve some of the skin irritation be sure to rinse the conditioner out of your hair after a couple of minutes if rinsing does not relieve the burning and redness you probably should see a medical professional hope this helps
