Hi Cassie,

 

If what you're experiencing is an allergic reaction to the hair dye, then you'll just have to wait for the reaction to run its course. You can't remove it per se, but applying a mild lotion to your skin may help provide some comfort while it heals. If it becomes too uncomfortable, painful or starts producing mucus, I would encourage you to see your doctor.

 

Feel better,

Kathi

An allergy is the immune system's over-reaction to a normally harmless substance called an allergen.
