Scalp oozes yellow fluid due to allergy to bleach. The fluid dries crusty and flaky and clumps my hair. What do I do?

Asked by Alice35 (79points) February 13th, 2016

After the bleaching process my scalp and ear hurt so bad I walked in to a clinic and was diagnosed with contact dermatitis. I got prescribed with oral Prednisone for 3 days (and Silvadene for my ear). It has been a week now, my scalp and ear doesn’t hurt unless tugged, but the yellow fluid still doesn’t stop oozing. What do I do? Should I go back to the doctor? Can I wash my hair with shampoo?

Also, yesterday (the 6th day since incident) I developed some severe fever/headache the moment I woke up. Lasted through the whole day so I took 2 Adol caplets before I slept and now I feel relatively ok. Not sure if fever is caused by allergy though :(
