Thyroid cancer patients cannot use skin care products

Thyroid cancer patients can use skin care products, but they should choose qualified skin care products from regular manufacturers, and should not over-exaggerate the effects of skin care products. They should also be careful to clean their skin after using them. In addition, they should also pay attention to sun protection, because thyroid cancer patients may have hyperthyroidism, which manifests as heat intolerance, sweating, polyphagia, weight loss, diarrhea and other symptoms. Excessive cleaning will aggravate such symptoms.

1. Avoid irritation: Some skin care products contain a large amount of hormone ingredients, which may affect the body's endocrine system. Especially for long-term use of hormone-containing skin care products, care should be taken not to use them for a long time or over a large area;

2. Avoid allergies: Some skin care products contain fragrances, preservatives and other ingredients. Thyroid cancer patients should try to avoid using them to avoid aggravating allergies. Some cosmetics contain excessive amounts of heavy metals, and long-term use will also have an impact on the body;

3. Avoid irritating odors: Thyroid cancer patients have poor metabolism and are prone to sweating. It is recommended to keep the indoor air circulating and pay attention to prevent the aggravation of irritating odors such as formaldehyde to avoid damage to the respiratory system;

4. Avoid sunlight exposure: Since the thyroid gland is more sensitive to ultraviolet rays and thyroid cancer patients have poor immunity, frequent exposure to the sun may cause irritation to the lesion and aggravate the condition.

5. Avoid using irritating skin care products: such as aloe vera gel, essential oils, etc. These skin care products may cause skin irritation and may aggravate the condition after use.

In addition to the above precautions, thyroid cancer patients should also pay attention to adjusting their diet structure and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. They should pay attention to adjusting their mood, avoid overwork and staying up late, and regularly check their thyroid function and thyroid ultrasound to understand changes in their condition.
