Ooooooooops!: A very bad idea! I am not sure what all the ingredients are, nor the concentration of hydrogen peroxide but that was not smart. Some simple rules to follow: 1. Use products for what they were intended to be used for only! 2. Always follow directions on labels. 3. Always consult with professionals who will be glad to help you with advice on products or procedures. 4. Don't experiment on your body.

Hello great doctors out there! I was wondering if it is safe to use hair dye/bleach if one were born with a "birthmark" on head? I just self-researched on what type of birthmark I have and I guess I have the one called "nevus sebaceous". Thank you?
