Can people with epilepsy get a perm?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I have had epilepsy since I was a child, and despite treatment, it hasn't been cured. It recurs every now and then. Now that I have a boyfriend, I want to spruce myself up. I'm thinking of getting a perm. Can people with epilepsy get a perm?

Doctor's answer:

Epilepsy patients should still be cautious about hair dyeing. Epilepsy is caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons, so it is important to avoid excessive mental stimulation and minimize contact with toxic or skin-harming substances. Hair dyes are often toxic, so it is best to avoid dyeing hair. Additionally, try not to get overly emotional and reduce the intake of foods or drinks that stimulate the nerves. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
