I am 31 years female. I have folliculitis on body as well as on scalp. Its not severe. Recently I had severe folliculitis on scalp for which I used tropical ointment and it was cleared. But time to time I get 1 or 2 pimple like bumps on my scalp. I want to color my hair as I have a lot of gray hairs. My question is: Can I color my hair without any complications while having recurring folliculitis?
