Hi

I suggest you have this assessed by your physician as you may need oral medications for this. It seems that using the hair streaking kit may be contributory to what you have right now. This may be a hypersensitivity reaction and you may need immediate intervention for this.

Do seek medical consult as soon as possible. This may be allergic dermatitis or irritant dermatitis secondary to the chemicals from the kit. Until this has been excluded, it is best to seek consult for this.

Hi

Where are the bumps located?

How would you describe these bumps?

Are they red, itchy or painful?

You may be reacting to the chemicals of the hair kit you used. You may need to have this assessed by your dermatologist or primary physician. You may need topical medications and oral antihistamines for this if this appears to be an allergic reaction.
