a serious allergic reaction to PPD in Hair dye

It is now September of 2010 and I decided to let my hair grow despite the continued reactions to my skin, especially my scalp. I get a kind of boil acne on my face and neck all the time and rashes around my ears and around my temples. I still have not filed legal actions, but they will come. I have detoxed and am still trying alternative things to stop this.

I think I know what makes it react so bad. It is the natural covering of the hair on my head as it was growing. I also wear glasses and as I have just got a new pair that are thick plastic and they stay on my nose and rest on the side of my head, the friction and lack of breathing creates severe problems for me. I feel like my skin is on fire and just underneath the skin it feels sort of pussy and I have head aches in the last week on and off, and they are paralyzing. My eyes are hot and have been taking ibuprofen. I am trying to let my skin breath as much as possible, but it has been oozing and scaling quit a bit and it is embarrassing to go out.

Thought I could grow my hair out.....what now?

A few weeks ago.... tired and wanting my hair long again, I started to grow it out. When it covered my head as you can see in the picture, the symptoms began to return. Puss is coming from my ears again, my head is oozing and I get boils on my hands and they hurt. My neck is starting to itch and underneath the skin on my neck and forehead it feels bruised. When I had my head shaved from the summer on, I could put cream on it and it seemed to breath better. Now that I am growing my hair out it all comes back. I feel very ashamed that my hair can't be long and in a braid.

What next?

It has been a long time and I had to chop my hair off, something I never thought I would do. Everytime I try and grow it out I get scabs on my scalp like exema. I think it is time to call a lawyer and deal with the pain and suffering this dye has put me through.

I sometimes hope that things are returning to normal, but when I have a breath of relief something else happens. My hands have been very itchy and after the bumps form, then the skin begins to peel. It is frustrating to say the least. My head still has problems, but not like before. The sun and heat are a factor and I have to wear a dampened hat to keep my scalp from braking out. I still have a rash around my nether regions and it seems to get worse when it is very hot out.

Since my last blog I received more Mannatech from Lawrence sent via Puralator, thanks Lawrence. I find that the Firm and Emprizone help maintain the spread of the rashes, but not the onset of the bumps and the early stages of the problems around my body. I get little bumps on my hands then they seem to go deeper and get larger as on my head, they then turn into a rash like on my calf on my right leg. If I keep caking on the mannatech it helps. I don’t know where the bumps may appear next. The summer heat is definitely a factor, when I sweat and it is very hot I can feel it like pins and needles and the areas are very itchy. My head still has ongoing problems with me scatching away at scabs and flaking skin I apply the creams, and hope that I don’t break out severely.

“Just for Men” contacted me a couple of weeks ago and offered to pay for my medical expenses. They were very understanding, but I am thinking about the continued pain and suffering of what has and is happening to my body concerning the blood poisoning that it has caused and the continued agony that I suffer.
