Can hair bleach cause rashes?

I got my hair bleached about 3 weeks ago and now i am broke out on the arms and hands with a red rash. The rash first appeared on my face about 6 days after the bleaching. But now it has worked it's way down to my arms and hands. My hair is now in need of another bleaching but i am afraid to do it because I'm not sure if I'm gonna break out from it again. Please help me. Does anyone know if hair bleach causes rashes?

Can hair bleach cause rashes?
It can. That's why you're supposed to do the allergy test prior to coloring your hair. You might want to talk to a stylist, see if there are alternative methods to coloring your hair.

Reply:If you are allergic to certain types of bleach found in hair dye your rash definetly can be related to you getting your hair bleached. Go to the doctor right away and they will give you medication to help you, otherwise the rash will probably just get worse. Good luck!
Reply:Absolutely. I can't go near any type of bleach, or I break out in a rash. DON"T bleach your hair again ... and go see doctor asap.
Reply:was the bleach put directly on your face, arms, and hands?


if it appeared 6 days later, i don't think it would be from the bleach. especially if now it is spread to your arms and hands! sounds like you need to call a doctor!


I've bleached my hair for years and never got a rash, just redness if left on too long but it would be immediately after contact.


as far as doing an allergy test with the dye, you check it after 24hrs, then again after 48hrs, so that wouldn't have helped if it appeared 6 days later. a reaction usually happens alot sooner than that.
Reply:Unfortunatly the human body can be alergic to just about anything. This could very well be the bleach. Have you done this before? With this product? If its new, its something to consider. However, the rash could be from just about anyting. Have you changed your laundry detergent, tried a new perfume, makeup or anthing like that? Your first coarse of action would be to go to the dermatologist to find out exactly what you are algergic to. If it does turn out to be the bleach, consult your dr. first, then your hair stylist or a beauty supply store like Sally's for a more natural/not so harsh product. You are going to want to find out where your problem is first before you consider more treatment for your hair (I know that roots are anoying but your health is more important). It could be that you are alergic to something in the air since the seasons are changeing. Alot of times when we are children we dont have alergies, and as we grow into adults we develop them. I started getting seasonal alergies when I was 25. Just make sure to put your health first and everything will work out fine. Good Luck :)
