Patient's question:
About half an hour ago, I got my hair dyed, and as soon as I came back, I changed the baby's diaper. The hair dye didn't reach the roots of my hair. The next day, my friend told me that it's not possible to dye hair during the diaper-changing period, and that you shouldn't change diapers for a week after dyeing your hair. But when I got back, I changed the baby's diaper right away. That night, the baby showed no symptoms, but the next day, when I took the baby into the mall, it was too hot, and I didn't take off the hat, always holding the baby in my arms. That night, I noticed many red spots on the baby's head! I don't know if it was due to the heat or because I changed the diaper right after dyeing my hair. It's been almost half a month, and there are still many red spots on the baby's head. What kind of help do you need: Could changing the diaper right after dyeing my hair have caused such symptoms?Doctor's answer:
It is best not to dye hair during breastfeeding, as certain chemical components in hair dyeing solutions can be absorbed through the scalp and enter the body, potentially interfering with breast milk and thereby affecting the child. Although there is currently no scientific evidence to determine the extent of the interference, it is still safer to avoid dyeing hair. If you have already had your hair permed and dyed, since residual dye may remain in the hair, it is advisable not to let the baby touch your hair for the first few days after the treatment. This is because children have a habit of putting their hands in their mouths. If you have long hair, you can tie it up.
