Itchy scalp from highlights with bleach

Question

Last month I got highlights on my hair and they also use the bleach to perfect the color I guess.

However like a week or two later, my scalp begin to itchy, well mostly the top of my head. I began to feel little small bumps or as I think it is "psoriasis". Then yesterday I believe it gotten worst as my whole head was itchy, bottom and the sides to the point of it stinging. I had my boyfriend check to see if there's more psoriasis, but he only see the three at the top of my head and the most of my scalp is like pinkish.

So now I beginning to use the Neutrogena Therapuetic Shampoo T-Gel: Extra Strength. My mom noticed today it has caused the 3 psoriasis to bleed some sort, however it has driven the whole itchy-ness away, but sometimes there will be a slight itch or two, but goes away, not the the point I have to keep patting my head.

I tried calling my dermatologist, but the latest appointment will have to be next Friday so I called a family doctor for the upcoming Monday. What should I do?

Answer 1

Instead of using such a strong shampoo that could actually irritate your scalp and make it worse before it makes it better, try using Head and Shoulders for dry scalp, it's not as harsh and it smells so much better than T-Gel.

Answer 2

you may have gotten burned from the bleach. try soaps with tea-tree oils in it. it helps to heal with a more natural ingredients.
