9 White Lies Doctors Hear That Put A Patient's Health In Danger

Skin Care

Lying about the use of sunscreen or tanning beds makes it difficult for doctors to detect early signs of skin cancer. Doctors who are well informed about their patients' habits are better equipped to detect life-threatening diseases by assessing patients for suspicious lesions and sending samples to a lab for further testing. It is also important for doctors to know about procedures patients have had on their face, products they use on their skin, and whether they pick their skin. This helps doctors select the best treatments for skin conditions by understanding the possible root causes.
