Hair dye
So I need to dye my hair desperately bad! However I had a zit near my ear and literally right next to my hair line. Well, it popped and it has scabbed over.
Should I wait until it heals completely to do it?
The dye doesn't have ammonia in it and I've used it once before while pregnant and it turned out perfect, but I'm worried about chemicals being absorbed since it's only scabbed over and not true intact skin.
Its totally safe to dye your hair while pregnant so yes go ahead
"When you use hair dye, a small amount of the dye can penetrate your skin. Generally, however, the dye isn't thought to pose harm to a developing baby.
A 2005 study suggested an association between hair dye and pregnancy and the childhood cancer neuroblastoma — but other studies on the use of hair dye before and during pregnancy haven't reached the same conclusion. Most researchers say it's unlikely that maternal use of hair products before or during pregnancy would increase the risk of childhood tumors.
If you choose to dye your hair during pregnancy, consider these precautions from the Food and Drug Administration:
Follow package directions carefully.
Wear gloves when applying hair dye.
Leave the dye on your hair no longer than directed.
Rinse your scalp thoroughly after using hair dye.
If you're concerned about the use of hair dye during pregnancy, consult your health care provider or consider postponing any chemical hair treatments.
I googled and found the answe about your question. Hope it's helpful.
My doctor said it was fine since I only do it once every 3 months. I just want to know if you ladies would dye your hair while pregnant if you had a zit or open sore near your hair line...
Yes I would. I havent dyed my hair in a long time though but I would if it was something I normally do.
My stylist said it was fine.
If you're really concerned about the open sore, just use a piece of tape to cover that part of your skin. Worst case is it'll peel the scab when you remove it after the dye job is done.

This is what I would do.Originally Posted by Rae_1478
You could also put vaseline or aquaphor over it as a barrier.
