Abstract: In this advanced era, the desire to look younger and to optimize beauty is widespread. Grey hair is the common cosmetic problem which involves treatment of the hair with various chemical compounds in the form of hair dye to cover it. These hair dye products can cause various adverse effects, including allergic contact dermatitis. A 45-year-old man reported on 7th January 2020 to outpatient department with presenting complaints of severe itching, redness, burning sensation, discomfort, papules and vesicles over the scalp, forehead, hairline margin, around the eyelids, ears, lips and oral cavity with mild edema of the face and eyelids since 2 days.
