A member asked:

Can hair dye cause a yeast infection on the scalp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hair Dye: Hair dye in some patients can cause an allergic reaction which then alters barrier function of the skin. Once the barrier function is altered there can be a secondary infection with yeast or bacteria.
