t An Allergic Reaction To Hair Dye?
What Do I Do Now?
Answers: In acute severe cases of PPD hair dye dermatitis, wash the hair and scalp thoroughly near a mild soap or soapless shampoo to remove the excess dye. Apply a 2% hydrogen peroxide solution or compresses of potassium permanganate in a 1:5000 dilution to completely oxidize the PPD. To soothe, soften the crust and alleviate the tight feeling of the scalp, a showery dressing of cold olive oil and lime may be used. Further treatment with a topical application of an emulsion of water and water-miscible corticosteroid cream, or oral corticosteroids may be indicated.
Management of PPD dermatitis on other parts of the body may be treated as for any acute dermatitis/eczema; this may include treatment beside topical corticosteroids and emollients.
