Hair dye allergy

Hi all,

I have dyed my hair at home for as long as I can remember. I’ve just used a new one I’ve not tried before (I know I should have done a patch test and I’m massively regretting it now) but I had a very quick allergic reaction. My face and chest got very hot and red and I felt like I couldn’t breathe properly.

I ran to the shower to wash it off. I’ve taken some antihistamines but I keep feeling anxious something is going to happen. I keep feeling hot, I’m 99% sure it’s the anxiety.

Is there anything that can come from this hours down the line? I feel like I’m OK but I’m home alone with 2 children and I’m worried something might happen through the night?

My face/chest feel fine now, my breathing is fine and there is no burning on my head.
