I've noticed that every time I apply sunscreen, my face breaks out in rashes. Could you recommend a good sunscreen that might not cause this reaction?

View allI'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.
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

I've been dealing with some really annoying itchiness around my eyelids, and it seems like it might be eyelid dermatitis. The affected areas are right above my eyelids and just below my eyebrows, and it's happening on both of my eyes. Could you recommend something to apply to alleviate this?

I've been struggling with Hives for about two years now, and the itching and skin inflammation are just unbearable sometimes. My doctor suggested I take Montek LC, and I usually take a tablet every couple of days when things get really bad. Is there any way to completely get rid of this condition? I'm hoping for a more permanent solution. Can you share any advice or treatments that might help?
Yes you can have it no problem
