Hello, I ve received a chemical burn on my face after using Just For Men to try and darken my beard. It s painful and I can not even describe how itchy it is. I went to the clinic today where they have me a steroid and bacitracin to put on my face daily. They said I could take benadryl and tylanol. Nothing is helping. 1. what else can I do for immediate relief of the symptoms? 2. any idea how long this might take to recover from? I applied the JFM on Monday night, it is now 48 hours later on Wed night.
Hi, You seem to have developed a contact irritant reaction to the hair color. If the treatment suggested is not helping you, either a more potent topical steroid can be used along with better anti-histaminic medication or a course of oral steroid can be added to alleviate the symptoms as early as possible. As the course of treatment depends on the skin lesions, a proper skin examination is required. Kindly consult your dermatologist again so that amendments can be done. Take care.
