Scalp Psoriosis-Hair dye question

Hi ! I'm 24 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with scalp psoriosis at around 9 weeks pregnant! They gave me medication to put on it but I refuse to apply anything while being pregnant.

I was just wondering if it would be alright to dye my hair or if the scalp psoriosis will get worse?

Thanks

Henna dye for hair? How long does that last? And where can I get some? Lol I would love to dye my hair, but my scalp is so bad.

Honestly I would think dying your hair would be worse then applying the medication. Although I guess it depends on the mediation, hair dyes have a lot of chemicals in them though.

I have very sensitive skin and cradle cap so hair dye actually burns if it's applied. I don't know if it would make your psoriasis worse, but if you have any sores on your head or patchy skin the hair dye burns pretty nasty.
