I dyed my skin with black hair dye

About a year ago when I was dyeing my hair I dyed the skin on the back of my neck. It's faded some over the past year but now it's a light brownish color and I still can't get it off. I've tried the color removers they sell in the salon stores and even straight bleach and I still can't get it off my skin. Now it's even kinda bumpy like it's turned into a skin condition. What can I do to get rid of it?

Picture attached.

Thanks

Hi,
As a result of the contact between the chemical of the dye and the skin you might have developed an allergic reaction at the site called Contact dermatitis.

Contact dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin caused by direct contact with an irritating or allergy-causing substance (irritant or allergen). Reactions may vary in the same individual over time.

Irritant dermatitis, the most common type of contact dermatitis, involves inflammation resulting from contact with acids, alkaline materials such as soaps and detergents, solvents, or other chemicals.

The reaction usually resembles a burn. This is the skin lesion or rash at the site of exposure .
Treatment is the application of Corticosteroid ointment which may reduce inflammation. This is recommended only for short periods of time.
