Is Hair Dye Application Safe Post Having Sutures On Head?

I had an accident ten weeks ago. I had slight bleeding of the brain and had stitches, but these were taken out after a few days. The scabs came away a couple of months ago. The skin has healed up and I have no open wound, but there are still a couple of bumps, which feel a little tender to the touch. I was suffering from some dizziness with sudden movements to the head and sitting up in bed, but this has gone now. My grey roots, which I used to colour every month, are getting quite conspicuous now. Is it safe for me to start using hair colour again?

Hi,
So long tender point is there on suture line hair dye better to be avoided as chemical might irritate the bumps causing induration and infection.
So after subsiding all small bumps apply hair dye.
Ok and take care.
