Skin bleaching

Women in the habit of bleaching their skin are prone to cancer of the kidney and infertility, Prof. Ernest Orji of the Department of Gynaecology, Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex, OAUTHC, Ile-Ife, Osun State, has warned.

Orji gave the warning in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Tuesday in Ile-Ife.

According to him, everybody has normal flora that protects their skins from  cancer.

He , however, said that one of the components of  bleaching cream is “lead” that is harmful to the skin .

He said that whenever the human skin component was damaged, the body would be prone to diseases such as the cancer of the kidney, liver and other parts of the body too could be affected.

“People, especially women, should desist from using bleaching cream, because it always has adverse effects on them by causing them infertility in their later years,” he said.

According to him, the body with toning cream would not heal up if it gets wounded as well as react to plasta.

The Gynaecologist advised Nigerians to feel  contented with the way nature had created them, saying  that  there was a great gain in contentment.

Orji, therefore, urged the general public to retain and  maintain their natural complexion, emphasising that major  ailments  were linked to self indulgence.
