I really really wouldn't

It depends on the dye, if it's semi permanent it might be ok. Bleach or permanent may sting abit!

I wouldn't. Common sense would say it could probably be a painful experience. I would urge her to wait.

The box says not to use if any skin complaints, so no I wouldn’t either untill all cleared up!

I imagine it would be painful and there would be a risk of infection.
