Question 1

I'm really worried about something that happened after using a VIP black hair dye shampoo. I dyed my hair with it and washed it off within 5 minutes, but then I started having really itchy eyes and this tingling feeling all over my body. I used the same shampoo two months ago after doing a patch test, and everything was fine back then, no side effects like this. Now it's been over 14 hours since I used it and my eyelids are still itchy and I'm feeling a bit of tingling here and there. Is this kind of reaction normal, or should I be concerned? I'm really looking for some advice on what to do next.

Accepted Answer

The symptoms your friend is experiencing, such as itchy eyes and tingling sensation all over the body, after using the VIP black hair dye shampoo, are not normal and could be a cause for concern.

Possible Causes

1. Allergic Reaction: The patch test 2 months ago might not have detected an allergic reaction, which can develop over time. The symptoms could be an allergic response to one or more ingredients in the shampoo.
2. Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) Reaction: PPD is a common ingredient in hair dyes, including black hair dye shampoos. PPD can cause an allergic reaction, which may lead to symptoms like itchy eyes, tingling sensation, and skin irritation.
3. Histamine Release: The shampoo might have triggered a histamine release, leading to blood vessel dilation, increased heart rate, and itching sensations.seek medical attention

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. Acne usually appears on your face, neck, chest, back and shoulders. Effective treatments are available, but acne can be persistent. The pimples and bumps heal slowly, and when one begins to go away, others seem to crop up.
Wash problem areas with a gentle cleanser. Twice a day, use your hands to wash your face with a mild soap and warm water. If you tend to develop acne around your hairline, shampoo your hair every day.
Avoid certain products, such as facial scrubs, astringents and masks, because they tend to irritate skin, which can worsen acne. Excessive washing and scrubbing also can irritate skin. And be gentle while shaving affected skin.
Avoid irritants. You may want to avoid oily or greasy cosmetics, sunscreens, hairstyling products or acne concealers. Use products labeled water-based or noncomedogenic, which means they are less likely to cause acne.
Use an oil-free moisturizer with sunscreen. For some people, the sun worsens acne. And some acne medications make you more susceptible to the sun's rays. Check with your doctor to see if your medication is one of these. If it is, stay out of the sun as much as possible. Regularly use a nonoily (noncomedogenic) moisturizer that includes a sunscreen.
Watch what touches your skin. Keep your hair clean and off your face. Also avoid resting your hands or objects, such as telephone receivers, on your face. Tight clothing or hats also can pose a problem, especially if you're sweating. Sweat and oils can contribute to acne.
Don't pick or squeeze blemishes. Doing so can cause infection or scarring
