A man has issued an urgent warning after a hair dye patch test left his arms red and blistered in an extreme reaction. Student Jack Valentine claimed doctors in A&E told him he 'could've ended up in a coma' if he had ended up using the dye on his head.
Jack's body had been left in agonising blisters after visiting his local supermarket last month to purchase a box of formula that is available in numerous high street shops across the country.
Knowing the importance of carrying out a patch test and having previously suffered adverse reactions to other hair dyes and a tattoo, Jack placed a '10p sized' amount of the activated dye on his inner arm. But hours later, the initial itch turned into painful red sores and blisters, prompting an urgent trip to A&E.
