Hair dye reaction?

Had my roots done yesterday at my normal hairdresser. I get a bit of dermatitis on my scalp occasionally and have a bad habit of picking little spots of it. The hair dye usually has no effect.

This time my scalp seems to have reacted and there are areas that are weeping. It seems to have got worse overnight. It doesn’t hurt or itch but it smells a bit.

I’m going to wash my hair this morning with tar shampoo that helps the spots. I don’t know whether to go back to the salon or get a dr appointment or just wait and see if it gets better on its own.

Since it’s the weekend, I would start by seeking the advice of a pharmacist. The smell and weeping sound a bit concerning.
