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?
I'm a nursing mother to a 9 month old baby. I want to go to the salon and have my hair colored or something soon. Is it safe (for baby) if I go and get my hair colored, dyed, bleached or treated at a hair salon? I only ask this because I am nursing?
