Finally got to see doc re hair dye reaction/eyelids etc

[Smowball]

He has prescribed me Mometasone crm 0.1% and Flucloxacillin as he says behind my ears is infected as well. I knew that as can feel it weeping behind one of them. So hopefully this lot will do the trick.

Good luck with those then Smow, hope it heals well.

[Smowball]

Thanks tonyav - I did try keeping the dark glasses on in the surgery but when I had to double check something in reception i had to take them off and the receptionist said very loudly " God, whats happened to your eyes??".( Thanks for that love, now the whole waiting room is looking at me......)

[tonyav]

LOL.

Please be careful in future....

I'm glad you've seen the doc. It's been quite a few days since you had the reaction, hasn't it? I hope you get better quickly now.

Is this a salon tint with skin test or DIY ?

[Smowball]

Its been 10 days now, and will Not be making the same mistake again. it was a L'Oreal home kit, the one that you only leave on for 10 mins and no I stupidly didnt do a test patch : (

[rowanwitch]

You need to do the extended time test patch in future if you risk it.. 48 hours not 12

[firewatch]

you should complain about the receptionist she shouldnt have that so loud!

[tamborine]

What is your natural color and what number tint did you use ?

[friedgreentomato]

Yes glad you got it sorted, but did'nt you say you have been having mild reactions for over a year and ignored it?

I would stay away from the hair dye altogether if i was you.

[Smowball]

natural colour is medium brown, this was just a shade or so darker. Think the number was 500 but can check.

Think i will look into the herbabint and even then will do a proper patch test first
