Hair Dye Cause Hives (Cholinergic Urticaria)?
Post by: Monkey on May 31, 2009, 10:51:19 AM
I can almost guarantee that this theory has nothing to do with Cholinergic Urticaria, but it was one of my initial thoughts when I started getting Cholinergic Urticaria.
Hair dye – anyone here dye their hair at around the point Cholinergic Urticaria started?

I didn’t dye my hair, per say. But the first night I noticed a rash on my legs when I got out of the shower was the night I used a product called Color Oops on my hair. It shrinks the dye molecules down so tiny that they just wash out. I noticed a burning and tingly sensation on my scalp/around my hairline, and when I got out of the shower, my legs had a rash on them. My mom said it was just too hot of water temp, but never happened before then and happens every other time I shower now.

I only dyed my hair 1 time in my entire life, and it was about 1 year before I got Cholinergic Urticaria. It was my senior year in High School, and I dyed it blonde (I usually have very dark brown/almost black hair). It was the craziest thing I have ever done, and I will never do it again. It took months for me to be “me” again.
But I don’t think in my case it was related to the Cholinergic Urticaria. But it is always good to look for connections. Anyone else dye their hair around the time they first got Cholinergic Urticaria?

Nope. I have never done anything strange to my hair at all.

Hi,
Being new, I have just seen this thread… and thought to comment.
I have an all over almost Brown / Black hair dye, quite regulary.
My scalp 9 / 10 comes up COVERED in itchy bumps, my scalp goes Red and all around the hair line does the same. My hairdresser is a good friend of mine and I have had the same colour for the last 3 years.
Don’t get me wrong, my outbreaks aren’t JUST when I have my hair done, but man, does it irritate. The last time I had my hair coloured, my face looked sun burnt and my scalp, the whole lot was full of itchy bumps.
