The answer

There is no harm in applying kohl to a bald spot, and this is not considered dyeing with black, which is prohibited. However, it is preferable for men to avoid it unless there is a disfigurement. As for its effect on the validity of Wudu' and , if it does not have a substance that prevents water from reaching the skin, then it does not affect them. Otherwise, it must be removed.
