Refusing sunscreen, uncontrolled intake of nutritional supplements and performing salon cosmetic procedures at home can lead to dermatitis and skin cancer, dermatologists said. In this respect reports MedicalXpress.
Dermatologist Sarah Moghaddam from the United States said that some people try to perform laser epilation and microneedling procedures (a minimally invasive method of improving the condition of the skin through shallow punctures) at home by following instructions on the Internet. This can lead to skin damage and dermatitis. In addition, microtraumas caused by improper processing techniques on the epidermis surface increase the risk of bacterial skin infections.
Another dangerous mistake is neglecting sunscreen. Sun exposure is an important risk factor for the development of malignant melanoma and various inflammatory skin reactions.
It is also stated that many people take various nutritional supplements and vitamins in tablet form without a doctor’s prescription. Dermatologist Rajani Katta explained that the use of certain nutritional supplements (dietary supplements) is associated with an increased likelihood of dermatitis, acne, cancer and alopecia (pathological hair loss).
